As the Me Decade progressed, this car represents the fourth iteration of the Continental Mark series, which lasted into the Disco Era.
This car has had the same owner since 2003 with low mileage at only 20,480 miles. It was always garaged for the last 21 years. Comes with a sworn odometer statement.
This vehicle is an example of a limited luxury line called the “Lipstick Edition,” an all-white option package with Lipstick Red interior details and carpeting. The white paint and trim on this car are in excellent condition, a testament to how well it has been taken care of for almost 50 years! Complementing the paint is a white vinyl roof that looks great. The engine bay is extremely tidy, and the red carpeted cargo area looks great, including the spare tire cover. The chrome bumpers fit tightly to the body.
This model introduced a rear side window, marketed as an opera window, which became standard by 1973.
This car rolls on white stripe radials, size 225/75R15, mounted on steel wheels topped by full factory wheel covers. The wheels are in good, original order, and the tires are in very good condition. It also retains "Sure-track" brakes.
Under the hood is a 460 CID V-8 engine breathing through dual exhausts. Backing this motor is a three-speed automatic transmission with a 2.75:1 rear end. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes with discs in front, cruise control, power windows, power locks, power sideview mirrors, power sunroof, and a rear window defroster. The carburetor was just rebuilt and starts and runs smoothly.
Inside, the car's headliner is in solid shape with a working dome light. The split front bench with fold-down center armrests and rear bench seats are upholstered in white leather with red trim, though they need some TLC. There is plush red carpeting underneath along with a red dashboard and two-spoke steering wheel. The inner door panels are also done in white with red trim. The dashboard has woodgrain appliqués. A column-mounted shift lever and an AM/FM stereo with CD player complete the interior. The A/C blows but needs a freon charge.
