Aerodynamic what? This 1979 Lincoln Mark V is about as streamlined as a brick. You know what? Nobody cared about that in the era, because the point of such a car was to show command and control. Any air that dared oppose you, you just plowed out of the way. Fuel economy? What’s that? If you want that feeling to be yours, the car is available here on eBay for a no-reserve bid. The current number is about $10 thousand, with the auction stretching until Tuesday evening. Should you win this one, you’ll pick it up in Darby, PA and float it home over the great American interstates that are its natural stomping grounds.

This car is what used-car sales people used to call a “creampuff.” Low miles at 42,000, a big list of luxury equipment, almost flawless presentation. You want a test drive? All you’ll feel is the pillowy softness of a 70s-era luxury car suspension. The work is all done for you—power door locks and power windows (that don’t quite function) in an era when not every car had those. The exterior is appointed with chrome and other accents; the interior offers up cushions that look positively bouncy as they invite you to sit. There’s also a Cartier clock that, as the old saying goes, will be right at least twice on a given day, if not all the time. You buy this car, back then or now, and you’re cared for.

The engine that hauls this metal monster would have been a 400-CID V8. This model is part of the run of Collectors Series cars, all blue (two different hues), white, or silver, and featuring a lack of opera windows but distinctive gold accents on the grille and hood ornament. What else would signal success in a car that cost $8000 more—in 1979 dollars—than the standard luxury Lincoln? On this example, blue paint outside that presents nearly as flawless complements a blue interior. What’s the downside? Well, the power windows apparently don’t function properly. The tires need replacing also. Otherwise, all’s well, including functioning air conditioning, which is somewhat unusual for an old car.

The ad has a video that runs through the underside and shows how clean this car is. There’s no worry here—this car is as it claims to be. The only question is how much will it run to, price-wise, and are you willing to front that kind of money for a twenty-foot-long behemoth? Maybe you’ll be tempted by knowing that the Collector’s Edition replaced the factory eight-track with a cassette player. Time to get those old mixtapes cranking.
