Since it’s the week of Thanksgiving here I’m working hard perusing CL and along with the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that usually make up said list (along with a really nice !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ) there is a 1979 Lincoln Mk V that the seller claims is ultra rare by drilling down the options including such highly sought items as CB radios, rocker moldings, and finally what kind of gas gauge it has.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
He wants $10k for that monstrosity.
Who cares if it’s the only Mk V built with those options? It’s still a ‘79 Lincoln Mk V! Nothing will change that fact! I guess the lesson here is that Marti Reports can be a force for good, or for evil. Don’t let your kids Marti Report unsupervised.

Boomers at car shows LOVE those kinds of stats. “This is one of only 500 M ustangs built in 1966 in black with a blue interior with a 289 an d 4 speed and a wad of gum holding up the rearview mirror”

A really low mileage perfect one of these could be worth that, but this one isn’t there.
I kind of wish minutiae like this could be generated for any car.

When you can order a car with options from a checklist , the possible combinations is s ome ungodly high number, thus the odds that your shares the exact options with others is fairly low. They sold over 75,000 of these malaise mobiles... Not rare, not desirable.

Let’s get one thing on the record: the Lincoln Mark V is not, in fact, a bad thing...or a monstrosity. It’s my favorite Mark. Peak boxy and size. Wasteful. Sloppy. Slow.
A real luxury car, and one of the best Personal Luxury Coupes.
Not saying his price is anywhere near right, but he does have the “right” options - turbine wheels, white interior, and the really big ticket item that boosts value more than anything else - a factory sunroof.
And it doesn't have some kind of special gas guage. It has a normal gas guage. It just has a very rare distance to empty trip computer to supplement the gas gauge. And you have to admit, for 1979, that would have been very advanced. The fact that it even still lights up is a miracle.

I mean if you drill down into a car that has alot of options, of course it is going to be rare. Porsche now is advertising that you can essentially have a 1/1 911 with all the bullshit you can order.

I admit to a bias against these things. I was 14 years old in 1979 and cars like that were to me like CUVs are to enthusiasts now. Even as a Ford fan I hated everything about them.

Especially cars back then when the options were a la carte instead of packaged together.

EVERY fucking PTS Porsche gets advertised as 1 of 1, super rare, extra desirable. Even when that color is metalflake-shit brown. And almost every last one of them is an abortion of options, like “FULL LEATHER INTERIOR, but no Sport Chrono” or one of my favorites, PTS with mixed Alcantara/Leather in two different colors.

Proof that some things are rare for a reason.

PTS - r are because unless it’s a GT3, nobody wants that goddamn color because it’s hideous . And even if you hadn’t , the dealer would’ve required cash up front because nobody could sell something optioned like that.
997.2 C4GTS 6spd - rare because if Porsche had made more of them, it probably would have eaten into GT3 sales.
