You thought the 1970s-80s Cadillacs that have been turning up on Barn Finds of late looked huge? Prepare yourself for a 230-inch long behemoth with this 1978 Lincoln Mark V. With a hood as long as a billiards table and square styling boxing off every corner, this one’s positively magisterial in its proportions. Such a commanding presence it ha. If this is for you, check out the listing here on craigslist, which sets a price of $24,500. You’ll find yourself in West Warwick, RI should you decide to pick up this prize for yourself.

This car is the dreamed-of all original. The paint, the mechanicals, the interior—all of it is exactly how it left the factory. It even has the original floor mats. And, in a death-defying claim, the seller says that even the clock works. They never work. It’s no wonder the car functions like new, though. It has only 16,000 miles on the clock, and every picture is better than the last for illustrating the perfection of the car’s condition.

What a fancy package. How do you like those wide whitewalls, the pinstripes, the chrome accents, and even the blue plastic inserts on the lower bodywork? How can you improve on a vestigial spare, if that’s what the bump in the trunk is called? And what luxury inside, with pillow-top seating surfaces waiting to coddle you as you cruise down to the country club to hit some golf balls. You’ll be doing that with 460 cubic-inches creating torque for days as you gently massage the gas pedal in homage to how the original owner must have driven the car.

The only stopping point might be the price, which is approaching the max for this type of vehicle. It’s not a ton of money, especially for a super-original car, and not an outrageous ask (he can always go down, but not up, after all), but think what else you could buy for this amount of cash. You’d have your pick of Mustangs, perhaps some Cutlasses, and certainly a Thunderbird or two. Maybe even a convertible something or other. But how many super-original cars exist anymore, let alone at this price point? To me, originality is everything, and this one’s spot-on. So often a seemingly original car ends up having been repainted or has an engine compartment that is a dirty mismatch to a nicer-looking exterior. Or someone gets to modding it, as this owner has done to his similar ride. No! This Mark V is absolutely pristine from the vinyl top down past the opera windows, through the woodgrain-accented interior, and onto the chassis. Heck, the wheels and tires even look perfect, and that must be a job to pull off with all those tiny turbine blades. It’s not so low mileage that you can’t drive it, either, so get it, cruise it, and enter a show and see what happens.
