1972 Lincoln Mark IV

I have owned my Lincoln Mark IV for 15 years. It’s all original, except I replaced the vinyl roof and upgraded the ignition system and carburetor to make it more reliable and perform better. I also replaced the tires last year.
The interior is red cloth and is completely original, including the carpet, and looks like new. Everything still works as it should, including the A/C climate control, the cruise control, and clock. The car rides and runs awesome and draws attention everywhere.
The car came from San Diego, CA. I acquired it with 101,000 miles on it from a relative of the original owner. Clearly this car spent a pampered life in Southern California, and it shows everywhere you look, even under the hood.

    Hello. My name is Jean-Marc van Tol, I'm Dutch. A friend of mine owns a Lincoln Mark IV 1972. He is looking for an Intermediate Cable for his car. He needs one, but can't find such a cable for his car here in The Netherlands. Do you guys have any idea? Could you help him?

    Nice mark IV, I just found a 1972 White with Burgandy Leather Interior and a factory sunroof. The car has 32000 miles on the OD. It was in a heated barn unregistered since 1979. The motor started after replacing the gas tank and all related fuel lines and pumps and rebuilt the carb. Now I want to find New tires that are OEM with the same white wall, as the car has the original tires on it that surprisingly are NOT dryrotted

    you haven't changed from the original to the HEI ignition, i just got myself a mark 4 i was wondering if there was a reason other than keeping things original, why the distributor cap was kept, also if there's a HEI you'd suggest for this model i would love to hear which one you'd recommend if any
