1984 Lincoln Continental Valentino

Description

This 1984 Lincoln Continental Valentino offers a highly original and exceptionally luxurious total package. Best of all, this classic is the ideal mix of high-concept international style while still being powered by the red-blooded American heart of Ford's famous 5.0 fuel-injected V8.

This was the era of one of the most interesting Continentals to hit the road. It was partnered with the Mark VII to introduce a distinct aerodynamic and angular profile. And the range-topping Valentino showed it off perfectly. It was specially outfitted by the style icon with a Midnight Wine and Charcoal Metallic two tones that contrast in color but are united in their rich tone. And the way the triple-tone stripe cuts through the center of the body to divide the two-tone really seems to complement the crisp style lines of the hood and trunk. All of this can be seen so clearly today because you're looking at a well-respected car. The paint shows all the right signs of being the original application, and the odometer is believed to represent the full actual mileage, which would be averaging under 1,300 miles annually. Beautiful chrome bumpers, a waterfall grille, wire wheel covers, and Valentino insignias on the C-pillars are all part of the premium presentation. So you'll like it for its thoughtful appearance right down to the details - like how the walls of the newer tires match the pinstripe.

The exterior gray is a preview of the full interior color. Like a Valentino suit, the smart-looking gray leather has an ageless sense of appeal. The front bucket seats can be power adjusted for that perfect grand touring position, and no matter how far back you go, there is going to be adult-size legroom in the rear. If you're truly looking to make this classic your daily driver, there are a few investments you may make, like a more modern stereo or repairs to the headliner. But really, this is the kind of classic that offers a ton of appeal from day one. That comes from a long list of desirable features, like automatic A/C climate control, power windows, power locks, keypad entry, power mirrors, power steering, cruise control, an electric rear defogger, and an added backup camera. Plus, the grip of the dual-spoke steering wheel, added tach, tilt steering column, and clear view of the digital gauges let you know this is a Lincoln made for real driving.

When you lift the hood, you'll see the unmistakable sight of Ford's 5.0-liter fuel-injected V8. The same motor that made the Mustang the king of its era also gives this Lincoln an autorotative amount of torque. You'll spot some upgrades like a newer aluminum radiator and newer exhaust, but overall, this is about a well-maintained and smooth driving package. Out on the road, features like the four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive and four-wheel disc brakes continued the confident driver feeling. And of course, this never loses the supple Lincoln ride.

The sale comes with good paperwork, including the factory buildsheet, owner's manual, service manuals, and maintenance records. This was an expensive rarity when new, and so a Valentino is an even rare treat today. The only difference is that it's now offered for quite an obtainable price. Call today!!!
