1979 Lincoln Mark V Bill Blass collector edition
This is the rarest of the Bill Blass Lincolns as it has opera windows & power moon roof.
The previous owner has done a lot of maintenance and had spent over $3,000 before he got in over his head and needed to sell.
I was told that the low mileage is correct as it belonged to relatives and was stored in a shed for 15 years before it was removed about 7 years ago and stored in a car port here in Texas. It was passed around to some of the relatives and finally ended up in the hands of the person I bought it from. Storage has not been kind to the car as the paint has gotten a little faded and there is surface rust on the frame and suspension parts. There is no rust on the body except for a very small pin hole on the lower lip of the right side front fender. I could find no other rust other than surface rust.
The car is all original with the exception of the blue paint on the trunk lid and the rubber filler on the rear bumper, all the other paint is original except for some small touched up spots and some engine detailing.
Overall the car and paint are very good for being 38 years old. It just no longer looks show room fresh.
The car runs good as it has just had a complete tune up. The windows go up and down as well as the sun roof.
There are some things that need attention: the clock, AC, radio, and miles to empty gauge are currently not working.
The chrome on the car is in excellent condition with no pitting at all. The moldings are nice but have a few dings. The tires are like new. The interior is excellent and looks to be from a low mileage car as there is very little wear on the seats and trim.
I can take more pictures if there is anything you didn’t see in the fifty or so pictures that I have already taken.
This car needs a few things but is still very nice as is and can be driven as is.
