Rare Gold Moonroof: 1977 Lincoln Mark V
I’m not one to shout and scream about saving all of those horrible malaise era cars…but I gotta say that this next one hit me like one of those commercials where people show video montages of poor and neglected animals/kids (why aren’t you helping them instead of video taping their misery..?). Somebody has to save this old Lincoln from the snowy crashes and rust-filled future it has ahead of it in the Commonwealth of Pennsyltucky. This gold moonroof optioned beast needs a garage and/or a temperate climate to survive into the 22nd Century. Find this 1977 Lincoln Mark V offered for $6,500 in Quakertown, PA via craigslist. Tip from Cory.

I don’t know why I want this one so much. Maybe it’s because this would be a good comfy highway cruiser. Maybe it’s because 460 cubic inches ought to be interesting when de-smogged. I’m pretty impressed with how it’s stayed in such good shape.
The ads for this one are rather amusing: It’s a quartet of books. “Deals on Wheels: How to buy, sell, and finance used mobile homes.” (The Lincoln is almost big enough to qualify.) “How to Keep Jellyfish in Aquariums.” (Huh?) “Foreclosure Investing for Dummies.” (Put that together with the first book, and I wonder if that is some sort of commentary on the neighborhood…) And “Building Bridges / Float Your Boat” (Apparently the advertisements think this is a boat, too!)
Donk it! Perfect for the Pimp wearing a top hat!
Is that an oil filter on the air filter?
Sure looks like it. Maybe some kinda oil breather/catch can? Dunno. The 70s were a weird time. Everybody (even automotive engineers) were on drugs…
I forgot to write up a Mardi Gras story — but this car would have been perfect for pulling a float down Bourbon street and then sleeping it off inside.
