This 1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV spent time in Indiana and Texas before it was acquired by the selling dealer in September 2024, and it now shows 32k miles. Powered by a 460ci V8 linked with a three-speed automatic transmission, the car was ordered with the Gold/Cream Luxury Group and is finished in cream with a matching vinyl top over cream leather with gold trim. It also features a simulated spare tire carrier, concealed headlights, dual mirrors, chrome-finished bumpers, gold-accented body-side moldings, opera windows, 15″ steel wheels, cruise control, power-adjustable front seats, air conditioning with automatic temperature control, and a factory AM/FM stereo with an eight-track cassette tape player. The power steering pump and the blower motor were reportedly replaced in preparation for the sale. This Mark IV is offered at no reserve with factory literature, various eight-track cassette tapes, and a clean Texas title.
