Overview of 1979 Lincoln Continental For Sale by Owner

One of America’s most popular home-grown luxury cars, you could buy a Lincoln Continental right up to 2020. Introduced in 1940, this stalwart of Ford’s luxury auto brand has consistently set standards, bucked trends and defined the bar of American luxury time and time again. Today’s 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V is a fine fifth-generation example that’s been built as a custom lowrider. IT’s got Air Lift Performance air suspension, a custom sound system, custom wheels and a very unique rose gold pearl paint job. Oh, and it also has a V8 as you’d demand from a car like this. You’d better snap up this car from Garden City South, New York if you want it, because this sub 85,000-mile beauty won’t be single for long. Trust us – we’ve seen eye-catching customs like this find new owners in the blink of an eye.

Exterior and Interior

The unique Rose Gold Pearl paint job worn by this 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V really brings out its distinctive style, as does its white roof with Landau windows, custom gold-painted alloy wheels and dual exhaust system. Thanks to the Air Lift Performance air suspension system, you can really drop this baby low, and showcase all its design features such as the hidden headlamps, side wing vents and Cadillac mascot atop the radiator grille. Because let’s face it, this car is meant to be shown off. The white interior of this 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V is pure Seventies bliss. Adorned with plush seats and wood trim, it also has an upgraded sound system, as well as the original climate control system. There’s a custom steering wheel in place too, and if you pop the trunk, you’ve got subwoofers as well as components for the air suspension system. But, there’s still some cargo space left over.

Engine

Power is provided by a 400ci naturally aspirated V8 equipped with a 2-barrel carburetor and paired to a 3-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth, effortless performance consistent with the Mark V’s grand touring character. The rear-wheel-drive layout maintains traditional Lincoln driving dynamics, while the dual exhaust adds a subtle, refined exhaust note. The Air Lift Performance air suspension system is a major mechanical upgrade, replacing the factory setup with height-adjustable airbags that enhance stance flexibility and visual impact while preserving ride comfort.

$295,000

The 1970 Mercury Cougar Restomod takes the long-hood, hidden-headlamp attitude of Mercury’s upscale pony car and turns the performance dial far beyond anything offered when new. Showing just 3,509 miles, this build is finished in Metallic Pearl Red over a fully reupholstered Saddle Brown leather interior and centers around a built 572ci V8 with electronic fuel injection, backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The transformation extends well beyond the engine bay, with 4-wheel disc brakes, a custom intake system, Vintage Air climate control, a functional hood scoop, custom leather seating, updated instrumentation, and a substantial high-end audio system. According to the current owner, the Cougar was originally equipped with an M-code 351ci V8, making its evolution into this big-cube restomod all the more dramatic. This is the kind of build that preserves the unmistakable character of a classic Cougar while adding the power, comfort, and detail expected from a thoroughly modernized muscle car.

1972 Buick Gran Sport

$32,500

The 1972 Buick Gran Sport is a great example of why Buick’s muscle cars have always had their own following. Where some competitors leaned almost entirely into aggression, the GS mixed real V8 performance with a more polished, upscale feel, and this 60,979-mile example captures that balance nicely. Finished in Burnished Copper with a Black vinyl roof over a Black interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 and 4-barrel carburetor with a TH350 3-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. The equipment list is especially appealing for an enthusiast cruiser, with power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, a full-length console, Rallye steering wheel, tinted glass, chrome-plated wheels, and period stereo equipment all part of the package. It has the visual presence of a proper early-1970s muscle car, but with the comfort and restraint that made Buick’s Gran Sport line feel a little more grown-up than the average stoplight bruiser.

$33,000

The 1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours Coupe represents the more refined side of Chevrolet’s compact lineup, and this example stands out even further thanks to its rare Concours package and remarkably low 20,299 miles. Finished in Antique White over a Dark Firethorn interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The Concours treatment brought a much more upscale character to the Nova, with a Dark Firethorn vinyl roof, woodgrain interior trim, additional brightwork, and a comfort-focused cabin that separated it from more basic examples. The seller also reports that the interior still smells like new, a detail that speaks to just how unusually preserved the cabin feels. With its low mileage, rare Concours specification, V8 power, and distinctively 1970s luxury-oriented presentation, this Nova offers a particularly interesting blend of originality, comfort, and classic Chevrolet character.
