New To the Forum
Hello Lincoln lovers, My Name is Grant. I am 38 and live in Ohio. I have been lurking on this Forum for a couple of years and have just now joined. I have a 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V. Dark Turquoise Met. My Mark V has just over 34,000 miles. The original owner kept it until a few years ago. My car is from Mt. Clemens Michigan. Then it jumped around to a few dealer/flippers until I bought it this year in July from a dealer in Mansfield Ohio. I have wanted a Mark V for about 20 years I have always just loved the style and size. I do not like to keep my cars stock but I won't change things that can't be put back. So Far I detailed it, put on a new dual exhaust with glass packs, lowered it and put on new tires and wheels. I can't wait until spring when I can get it out of storage and get back to work on it. Here are some pictures. The first one is from on my drive home when I bought it.
Cheers!
Grant
Cheers!

That's one stellar Mark! I notice the 1st photo has fancy striping at the door handle, but other pics do not. Was this removed? I kinda liked the look of it. Would love to see some interior pix!

Re: New To the Forum
Thank you all for the nice comments. Yes the pinstripe was painted on and I was able to clean it off with lots of work. Then it was too plain but the gold/yellow was too much so I used a green stripe tape I found on ebay. It is lowered around 1.5 inches and the wheels are 18x8 and 18x9 with 0 offset. Here are some inside pictures.

Luxury group interior. Very nice. Looks way better than the standard interiors on these, in my opinion .

Always amazing what a little lower and wheels and tires can do. Nice looking mods.
