1973 Lincoln Continental Base 7.5l 4-door Hardtop on 2040-cars

This car arrived here recently, from the original owner, who was moving to CA. It was his wife’s, who passed away some time ago, and has been parked in either a carport or garage for some time. It was last registered in 2005, but may have been parked earlier. It is now currently registered and titled.

When it was parked, it had just had a fresh tuneup, lube, oil and filter, and an absolutely full gas tank, which is why I thought the gauge was incorrect. It is not.

The engine, transmission and driveline are sweet, smooth and silent. Even after days of sitting, the engine fires immediately (on 10-year-old gas!).

The body is fair; there are dings, a minor crunch in the trunk area, and surface rust. I have used rust treatment- hence the black areas.

Tires are good, but ten years old.

The interior is good, but in need of TLC- I have done nothing but vacuum. Most of the leather is good, one nick in the driver’s seat. The front carpeting must be replaced. The rear needs a cleaning.

I have done little to the car other than light cleaning, and basic necessities; it has a new battery, new wipers, current registration and title. I have refilled the tank. There is a new A/C belt in the trunk- the original was removed years ago. The A/C clutch works, the A/C probably will, with the new belt, although it will likely need to be recharged.

In the pictures, I have tried to show the good, and the bad. I think that the good (mechanics) far outweigh the bad, but I do not need another project.

My reserve is somewhat less than the OCPG price for a Number 4, although the car fits that category. Whatever the car sells for, I have promised the first owner to share 50-50.

It was his wife’s car- he did not want to see it get parted out. Neither do I.
