1972 Lincoln Mark IV

Ladies and Gentlemen, Gateway Classic Cars of Kansas City is pleased to present a bountiful find of class, luxury and taste - a stunning Gold with white top 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV

The Lincoln Continental Mark IV was new for the 1972 model year, available only as a two-door hardtop coupe. It was instantly recognizable because of its small “Greek Temple" grille, oval opera windows, and Continental rear trunk lid hump that evoked the Continental Kits of the 1950s. On top of all that, the new Continental was four inches longer than the 1971 model, adding to the visual impression of an extremely long hood. Under that long hood was a 460-cid big-block V-8 sourced from Ford. The Mark IV delivered 224 net hp, down quite a bit from the 365 hp of the 1971 model. Some of that loss reflects the change from gross to net horsepower in 1972, but the earlier engine had a 10.5:1 compression ratio, while the new 460 had only 8.5:1.

Our more than bold, gold with white top beauty has lived a sheltered and pampered life. Under the watchful eyes of only two owners, to date, this long Lincoln has only traveled an average of only 377 miles per year in its forty-eight-year-history. The big block Ford, 460 cubic inch motor has not seen a lot of action and still has a lot of life left in her! And, what may be a rare color combination of gold and white outside and white and black inside, the leather seats and door panels are white, and the carpet and dash are black, all seem to work very well together and have aged beautifully to date. Overall, she is beautiful, in great shape, and ready to go to the third owner in its nearly fifty-year history!

So today, reach for a little class, refinement and luxury and claim this beautiful Lincoln Mark IV, for yourself! The price is right, the look is right, and the quality is right.
