Lincoln Continental 1978 burgundy

[Mulder]

I have just come across this shiny piece

The current owner says he buys few old cars per year, shipping them from US, from private owners.

He claims this nice Conti has a real millage of 67 oryginal miles, and that an old chap livining in New Yersey sold him this one...

The price seems to be quite atrractive - he calls only 8500$

What do you guys think?

New York / New Jersey is the heart of the "rust belt" area. I would want to see the underside of that car. There isn't any rust in the engine picture which is a good sign but I'd have to see the rest of it before deciding.

I also want to add a 70s Continental to my driveway one day. I'm thinking anywhere between 1975 and 1979 depending on the car. I don't know why I want one -- I just really like their design.

Yes it is! I live down the shore, so I see all kinds of rust from salt in the air, and from salting the roads. I just had the line that went from the power steering pump to the cooler rust through, and I put a temporary stop on it until I can get in and fix it when I free up some time. this picture below is a good example, but was a lot worse in person, of a car I was looking at to buy, but it was a big rust bucket!
