Interesting.. One pics has Georgia plates and in other pics has Illinois plates.. Car is for sale in Georgia but was restored in Illinois... 1969 was last year I was excited about full size Lincolns... The '70's has "normal" rear doors and that just ruin'd it for me...
Nice but nothing thrilling about the interior IMO, we have seen 70 Colony Parks with owwww ahhhhh interiors and this looks bare bones plainest of jane considering it's a Continental.
the 80's lincoln hub caps don't belong on this car, what other corners did they cut in the restauration?
Ratmaster, you are absolutely right and I'm quite disappointed in myself that I didn't notice that. I'm a huge wheel cover guy and that totally got by me.
But why pay $45,000 to have a 59,900 mile car restored, which is appraised at $35,000, then sell it for $16.000? Things like this don't make sense to me. I wouldn't worry about the later hubcaps. What this car needs are 26" hoops, skinny tires with wide whites, and hydraulics. Maybe 9000 watt stereo with 47 speakers.
The over all appearance of the car inside and out if you blow up the pics does not tell me it's been restored but rather a although planer jane a well taken care of original that has been cleaned , spit polished up, good chance of a repaint some time in it's life but clearly not a recent paint job. A lot of imperfections due to normal non-abusive wear and tear if you look close.
