What’s special about this listing

This 1975 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe represents the pinnacle of American luxury from the mid-1970s era.

According to Classic.com market data for the 5th Generation Lincoln Continental (1970-1979), these vehicles represent an interesting chapter in American automotive history, with comparable examples ranging from $5,700 to $20,984 depending on condition and originality.

Described as having 63,xxx believed original miles, this Continental features the bullet-proof 460 cubic inch Ford Big Block V8 paired with an automatic transmission. The seller emphasizes the car's super clean and rust-free body and undercarriage, along with period-correct features including the Opera Top with dual pop-up sunroof, functional opera lights, and original jade green leather interior that shows honest wear and tear.
