More pics in my garage HERE (http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=596)

I actually like it! Its got some balls, handles nice. I havent dug into it too deep, but looks pretty good mechanically and aesthetically so far.

Paid $4800 including tax, title, etc. 125,000 miles - was a fleet car (company executive car) and I have all maintenence records and it appears it was well maintained.

Wow nice ride man, is the softtop stock on those rides ive never really paid to much attention to the ones around here.

looks mint joey... nice addition!

No - its not stock - but I think it really 'finishes' the look of the car.

I know I need to get different rims - something chrome, and I ahve a few touch up details, like the lincoln emblem on the front needs to be replaced, but all in all it looks pretty damn good I think.

Dunno. I havent checked the bolt pattern yet - so im not sure what'll fit. Im thinking a bit bigger - like maybe 18" - and a little wider too. Give it a little meaner stance.

Way cool Godfather, Awesome looking Continental congrats on the buy :cool: :cool: :cool:

Its a little hard to tell because I havent had it waxed yet - but the paint looks pretty damn good. The back bumper needs to be painted, but thats really it.

What convinced you to buy it ?

Ive been looking for one for awhile. Its mainly for the wife. I was contemplating between a Conti and an LS - just waiting on the right deal to come along. She likes FWD, and I like it for her. They handle better with snow and what not, and she drives like she's Ted Kennedy and the liquor store is closing in 5 mins. SO I wanted a car that handled a little better. PLus I wanted her to have a 4 door and to also KEEP HER HANDS OFF MY 2 MARK VIIIs! ---- Soooooo.... :)

For $5k I coudnt go wrong.

From what I read in your garage and looking at the pics it looks like you got the right deal :cool:

I contemplated getting her a Caddy too - but the Seville and Eldorado can be a real pain to work on and I am much more familiar with the 4.6 Lincoln engine - except - they mounted it sideways...

KEEP HER HANDS OFF MY 2 MARK VIIIs! ---- Soooooo.... :)

For $5k I coudnt go wrong.

So that is the real reason :joke Godfather that was to good to pass on , I knew there had to be a good reason you just didn't want her driving your 2 Mark VIII's :D :D

Absolutely correct!

she drives like she's Ted Kennedy and the liquor store is closing in 5 mins.

Is her driving really like that ?

nice car and for 5k, wow

Joey, I love it!! I think I saw that car the other day. I actually stopped off to check it out. Crazy!!! Is it this one???
