Pete's Garage New Project - 1979 Lincoln MK V - Part 1 Getting the car

I got a new project! It's a 1979 Lincoln MK V, and I am very excited to start working on this gorgeous car.

Nice project car, it was the best car on the road back when it was new and was the longest coupe at 231 inches. I have a 1978 Mark V , all original and in beautiful condition, drive to car shows and always the only Mark V there. I’ll be watching your progress on your 79. Cheers from Ontario, Canada

I live in Calgary & in our underground parking is an absolute beautiful 1978 Mark 5 .
Original owner (91 year old) very low mileage , 460 cu in , light blue diamond jubilee. Runs & looks amazing . What do you think this car is worth ? I’d love to own it but my wife ……

@@brianrussell9419 it's hard to tell what the car is worth without seeing it, but if it's clean and runs, at least $10k, probably more.
