Trying this again....GREAT vehicle that is sure to please! Masculine piece of Americana that will turn the heads and soothe the souls!!
This is a REAL 2-owner antique coupe with a strong 460cu engine and tight transmission that can be a daily driver or a great conversation piece!
The vehicle has 11,954 miles on it. Obviously there is no way I know of to guarantee those are the exact miles, however, given the condition of the vehicle, the smell, the ride, and anything else I can think of to debunk the miles on the odometer, I could not imagine it not being the actual mileage.
Vehicle was originally bought by a rather large (350lb) man who parked the vehicle in a dark, no window garage in late 1982/early 1983. It sat there until the second owner purchased it five (5) years ago. Immediately the second owner had the fuel tank and lines replaced along with the radiator core. He did this to remove any bad fuel and replaced the radiator core at the suggestion of his mechanic because coolant may have the potential to eat and leak after sitting that long.
Other than that you are looking at an all original 1974 Lincoln Mark IV Coupe.
This vehicle drives strong and rides smooth. Gears shift nice and tight with no jerking motions.
So there we have the good. Now what you all want to know....what's not perfect about this awesome car??
As I said, a large man drove it so even with the LOW miles, there is some wear on the drivers seat, but not ripped or anything. Feels like it could use a spring for a little more support. Also, due to the man's size, I am unable to get power to the drivers power seat. I am 6'1 and it sits fine for me and my wife is 5'9 an sits ok for her too.
The headliner is hanging about an inch right at the drivers side sun-visor, but the rest is in good shape.
There are probably 5 or 6 small paint flakes around the body; none larger than the tip of my pinky. Also, on the drivers door, you can barely see where he used his thigh to nudge the door closed. The current owner and my wife don't see it, but when you pick as many cars as I have, it's there. Easy fix but not noticeable to the average eye.
The chrome trim is in nice shape however the trim along the passengers side has some dings. Not hail but not sure what it is. May be able to ping it out; not major.
When the vehicle is started, the headlamp covers close unless you turn the lights on, then they open. However, when you park the car and turn the engine off, the headlamp covers slowly slide back open.
Overall this is a great car that can absolutely be enjoyed the way it sits with no additional work or money invested by you. At the same time, if you just really want to play with it, it would take VERY little to make this a no-pick car that could get valued over $20k if you went through it with a comb and just dotted all the I's.
Gentleman I am representing this car for has simply collected too many toys and his wife is on him to clear out the barn!
Don't let this one slip by!! Do your homework before you bid...Cars like this with MUCH higher miles (50k-80K) and lesser desired color combinations sale all day for big money!! You get the DEAL because I need it GONE!!
Whoever gets this will be sitting pretty whether you keep it for your collection, for your daily driver, or if you want to turn a profit!
Feel free to contact with ANY questions...I pride myself on telling the good, the bad, and the ugly on all vehicles I represent. No car is perfect but this one is absolutely better than average.
There is no financing on this vehicle. We can accept cash, certified funds, or electronic transfer. Shipping is not included however I will gladly help negotiate shipping for the buyer if desired.
NO FLAKES PLEASE!!
Thanks for bidding. jf@FamilyFirstAutomotive.com

Lincoln MKC crossover headed for Detroit
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Fresh off the launch of the stylish new MKZ sedan, the newly named Lincoln Motor Company is reportedly preparing for a lineup expansion. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the first new product joining the Lincoln brand is a small crossover based on the Ford Escape said to be called the MKC. We saw this machine testing a few months ago, and while we were hoping the name might be reserved for a future two-door model or even the diminutive Concept C hatchback, it looks like the "C" will stand for compact crossover instead.
The report also says that this crossover will be making its debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, so we'll have to wait until then to see what the new model looks like. Unlike the MKX, which is based off the Ford Edge, we would expect there to be a lot more differentiation between the MKC and the Escape like Ford managed to do with the newest Fusion and MKZ.
In addition to the new MKC, the article states new MKS and Navigator designs are expected to debut by 2014.
Lincoln needs a farewell address, not a new marketing plan
Tue, 09 Apr 2013
The trouble with Ford's Lincoln brand is that no one cares about it any more.
Not long after I heard that Mark LaNeve, chief operating officer of Ford agency Team Detroit, was moving to take over direct operations of the New York ad agency Hudson Rouge for Lincoln, I heard that JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was ousted. The two events are connected.
Lincoln and MKZ propose brand reinvention
Mon, 03 Dec 2012Lincoln made a rather assertive statement about the future of its products at the 2012 LA Auto Show. Rather than put any new vehicle on display for the first press day, the American premium brand placed a collection of classic cars from its past on the show floor. For the second day, that assortment was replaced with more than a half-dozen examples of the all-new 2013 MKZ. Following that, Lincoln teased a new ad campaign that was in the works, and it appears we now have the first extended promotional video.
Entitled "The Lincoln Motor Company," the spot acts as more of a mission statement, rather than an ad, featuring (once again) cars from Lincoln's past, as well as certain bits of Americana usually reserved for a Levi's ad. The video concluded with Lincoln reintroducing itself to the world, accompanied by a new name: The Lincoln Motor Company.
The video is likely to be the first of many in a large advertising blitz by the automaker, in concert with the rolling-out of the new MKZ. The sedan was the only new vehicle featured in the video, and Lincoln is betting heavily on this "reinvention" to bring customers in to see its new sedan. We want to know what's next. Scroll down to watch the video.
