1971 Lincoln Continental Town Car Golden Anniversary edition

The longest car name ever?

These were super rare. Only 1200 produced to commemorate Lincoln's 50th anniversary.

Too bad most of his photos are so small. No reserve auction currently at $600. Interesting.

 

I like it.

 

To get that for a thou or so, and do a full resto, that would be ever so sweet.

 

Interesting car, I will be following the auction on this one. Only 2+ days to go and still sitting at $600.00

 

I wonder if he has the 22k gold keys in the jewelry box?

Currently bid to $1035 with two days to go.

 

According to the text in the auction it does!!!!! But the text also says the engine is a 360 so who knows?

1971 Lincoln Continental Town Car 4 door, solid 360 V8, automatic transmission (seal leak has been repaired), stored for 30 years in dry storage unit, small dent in trunk lid, solid clean trunk with no rust, some quarter panel rust, good clean shiny black leather seats with no holes nor tears, good carpet and floor mats, approx. 120,000 miles, needs new battery and terminals, will start and drive on private road, but would need to be checked over by mechanic before public road driving. From an estate. I am the 2nd owner. Great car for restoration. Interior pictures show the leather looks gray, but that is due to light reflection. All glass is good with no cracks nor chips. Solid car. Clear title. Set of gold Jubilee keys comes with the car. Gold Jubilee Edition emblem on dash. Only 1200 of these cars were made. Very few exist. Rare car!

 

He certainly meant 460. Gold is too soft to work as a key. Even, at 22 k. At best, those are only gold plated

 

That Lincoln makes me think of the movie Charley Varrick

 

Here's what this 1971 could be if restored, and a much better paint color, too. (Note to seller of the 1972: invest in a vacuum if you want that kind of money for it.)

Yes, but it wouldn't be the anniversary edition anymore, if painted a different color besides the ugly one it was doomed with

 

At $1060 with just under 24 hours left.

 

$1225 with just under 16 hours left.

 

As it appears, it should end up selling for a bargain price, in case no stupid last minute bidding takes place
