Seller's Description
The Lincoln Continental DJE was released for 1 year only in 1978 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Ford Motor Company. At the time of its release it was Fords most expensive car ever made with a retail price of $21,700. Ford estimated it lost nearly $2,000 on each of the 5,159 units it produced due to the never before seen level of luxury offered. This includes Tiffany cut-pile carpet, Cartier clocks, Astro Moonroof, 40 channel CB radio and power everything. The model was only released in 2 colours, Diamond Blue or Jubilee Gold. A 7.5L V8 engine was used to propel the 2+ tonnes which made for comfortable highway cruising.
This vehicle was originally sold new in California, USA. The previous owner imported the vehicle in the early late 1990s where it then received a bare metal respray in its original Diamond Blue. Other than the respray the car is completely original and has clearly been well maintained all its life. It was acquired by GCCM from a prominent classic US car collector in Melbourne, Victoria in 2015. It comes with all the import documentation so it may be fully road registered and a file of receipts for some works carried out.
Today it presents in overall excellent condition and presents a great opportunity to purchase one of Fords rarest and most significant 1970s vehicles.
