| This car has 5000 Original Miles! It has never been restored, this is exactly how is came off the showroom floor.The Lincoln Continental Mark IV was a luxury car at the top end of the personal luxury car market sold under the Lincoln brand of the Ford Motor Company in North America between 1972 and 1976. It replaced the successful Continental Mark III, and was in turn replaced by the Continental Mark V.
The Mark IV and the contemporary Ford Thunderbird were built on a common platform at the same plant in Wixom, Michigan, and were alike in most major respects. All Mark IVs were equipped with the 460 in³ (7.5 L) Ford 385 series V8 engine, rated on introduction at 212 SAE net hp. This drove through a C6 3-speed automatic transmission. While the Mark IV carried over many design themes of the Mark III, such as the grille and spare-tire hump, it grew both longer and wider. The hallmark opera windows were added for 1972, and in 1973 the front bumper was redesigned for the federally mandated 5 mph (8 km/h) bumper. In 1974 the rear bumper was also redesigned.
