This 1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV was ordered with the Lipstick and White Luxury Group, and it spent time in Illinois before the selling dealer’s recent acquisition. Finished in white over white leather with Lipstick Red accents, the car is powered by a 460ci V8 linked with a three-speed automatic transmission. It also features a four-barrel carburetor, a Lipstick Red landau roof, hideaway headlights, power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ forged aluminum wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a factory AM/FM/Quadrasonic eight-track cassette stereo. This Continental Mark IV is offered in South Carolina with a clean Illinois title.
The body left the factory finished in white (9D), and it is accented by a Lipstick Red vinyl landau roof and body-side moldings. Additional exterior details include a simulated Continental kit, hideaway headlights, and chrome-finished bumpers with overriders.
Polished 15″ forged aluminum wheels are mounted with 235/75 Mastercraft A/S IV thin-whitewall tires. The car was factory equipped with power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, and Bilstein shock absorbers have been fitted at the rear.
The seating surfaces are upholstered in white natural grain leather with tufting buttons and Lipstick Red accents. Appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, woodgrain trim, and a factory AM/FM/Quadrasonic eight-track cassette stereo.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a fuel level gauge, and an inoperative Cartier-branded clock. The five-digit odometer shows 33k miles.
The 460ci V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, and it produced 202 horsepower and 353 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a rear axle with 2.75:1 final-drive gearing. The oil and the spark plugs were changed in preparation for the sale.
