"Titanic of 70's"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

A/C clutch was bad when I bought it.

Window switches are a bit loose.

Other than that, everything looks good.

General comments?

I wasn't particularly looking for a Mark IV, but this car was too good to pass up. White with black top and white leather.

This car is unlike any other when it comes to style and design. On the highway it's just as quiet as my Lexus LS400 I recently sold. Power is just enough to get it going, and it feels fine on the highway with enough left to pass other cars.

AS a vehicle it makes no sense at all. For such a huge car, the interior is a bit small, and trunk space is not the biggest either, but who cares?

I also own a Mark VII and owned a Mark VIII at some point. Driving this car is just such a breeze. I enjoy being the only one on the road in such a unique car. Sadly, most people drive cars that all look the same and have no character, but their loss is my gain.

- And it belongs in Davy Jones' locker along with the original Titanic!

Do you have a Continental, or a Mark IV? Your review is not clear, and these two vehicles are quite different.

"- And it belongs in Davy Jones' locker along with the original Titanic!"

And why is that? Because it's large and pollutes the air perhaps? Yes it does. And I'm all for saving the environment, but cars like this are heritage. They (for the most part) are not used as daily drivers and are basically just show cars or weekend cruisers. I like helping the environment, but I also like to enjoy driving as well.

The model is a Mark IV. But it has Continental badges on the trunk and on the front headlight cover.
