Just wanted to post this:

Its amazing how much stuff for a continental is sold as Mark VIII stuff JUST so the seller can get a better price.

Dont get me wrong, a lot of stuff is interchangeable. These door handles are from a Continental. That much is obvious. The better part is the door keypad is also clearly from a continental and a few other things suggest this. Yet, false claims they are from a Mark VIII. They may be form one IF they were added later, but they are not stock - however, the keypad harness connector looks a little wrong for a Mark VIII.

In the description he says they are from a Continental?

Yep. The seller clearly claims that these handles are from a Continental and are an upgrade for the Mark VIII.

HAHA... oh well, guess I did not scroll through the 50 photos far enough! My bad!

They might be an upgrade for a base Mark VIII but don't fit in well for the LSC's...

wtf, $150 for two used door handles?

There are other auctions of amusement too. Side markers for $200, the driver side is no longer available new, but the passenger side is available form for for $146 - yet a seller is selling them But It Now for $199 - used!

Headlights too by the same seller, Gen 1 halogen - used, $199. For $10 bucks more I can get new....

There is a sucker born every minute!
