Original 1 family owned Continental sedan. Has been in my possession for 27 years. Scotch green metallic exterior with medium green metallic interior. Options include air conditioning, speed control device, power 6 way seat, tinted glass, automatic trunk release in the glove box, automatic headlight dimmer, electric antenna, directed power differential, special interior trim, and DSO #74 - special alternator. The purchase price was originally $7,480.70. ($80,266 in today's dollars)
I have the original window sticker, owners manual, and the original factory maintenance log. I also have the original scale model and hood ornament trophy that came new with the car.
This car was awarded the "Best Original" trophy at the July 2019 LCOC Western National meet in Grand Junction, Colorado. See the Sept-Oct 2019 edition of the Lincoln and Continental Comments magazine for a write up and pictures.
This care is original and not restored. I believe the paint and interior to be original. The interior is in great condition. The odometer reads 25,900 miles, i believe it to be 129,500. As such, it is not perfect. There is some rust on the lower part of the quarter panels, the vacuum control servo needs rebuilt or replaced, all air conditioner components are present but it does not blow cold, the power seat motor runs but the seat does not move, the electric antenna motor runs but it does not go down. The original am radio works fine as does the clock. I have a list of those things I have done while this car has been in my care. Yes, the timing gear has been replaced. I drive this car locally twice a month. It always starts right up.
I want to sell this car to someone who will appreciate it and not seriously alter it. My asking price is #17,500. Thanks for reading !!
