1 owner, 32,800 pampered miles!

Description for Lincoln Continental 1976

32,800 pampered original miles! 1 owner car, the gentleman that bought the car brand new is the same person that has it consigned to us today. It spent the first half of its life in California. When transported back to Illinois it was used only on gorgeous days. Has a very detailed log book from 1993 when it had 29,000 miles on it. EXTERIOR: I just walked up to the car and I'll tell you it looks brand new. The... big long flat panels are straight with no door dings. There's no signs of any damage or rust. Now that I'm looking closer it is in excellent shape. I'm up front and the grill, bumper, bezels all shine like new. Even the rub strips on the bumpers are not beat up. It has hand pin stripe down each side and all the moldings are shiny and straight. All the glass is crystal clear. Has optional wide body side moldings. I believe the paint is all or mostly original and in beautiful shiny condition. The optional aluminum wheels are beautiful. In back the tail panel, bumper, everything is just as good as the front. The padded Landau roof is in excellent shape with coach lights on each side. Quarter windows have elegant gold trim with the Lincoln logo. INTERIOR: The very plush interior is all original and practically looks brand new. He really took care of this car. The light grey thick, deep carpets and the original floor mats aren't even worn or stained. The whole dash area is pristine. The chrome plastic still sparkles, the clock is working, nothing's faded. Super comfortable velour pillow seats don't show any wear, each side is power. Door panels are mint, interior lights work. Overhead the headliner and visors are also mint. I try not to use the word perfect but I'm looking around this interior and I do not see a flaw. Inside the glove box is like brand new. The light works, has a power trunk release button and it has the original glove box pouch with the manuals and owners card. It cracks me up how big the ashtray is. It also has a premium sound system- the original Am- FM stereo with a quadrasonic 8-track player! ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Big 460 motor! Exactly as it left the factory. The motor compartment has been very well maintained and cleaned. It still shows all of the factory ink stamps, all the proper duct work, vacuum lines and even smog pump are in place. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk is completely carpeted. The original aluminum wheel and spare tire has never been used. The jack assembly is complete. Bottom of the trunk lid has excellent original paint with original factory ink stamps and jacking instructions decal. The latch still looks brand new. Weatherstrip is still excellent, the light works. UNDERSIDE: Rock solid and proper. Never detailed or spray painted over. It is original in good shape. Has original exhaust with Ford right on the muffler. Be glad we are not charging by the pound or by the foot! This is really a nostalgic luxury land yacht in excellent original condition.
