Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The car is in excellent condition, runs and drives great with no problems. No rust ever. The engine does run a little rough when it's cold, but starts right up and doesn't burn any oil. No oil leaks, transmission shifts smooth, tires are in good condition, brakes were just done. Everything works except the clock. Power seats, power antenna and power seats all work fine. There are a couple of small dings in the trim on the top of the left front fender (see pics) and the trim above the right rear quarter panel. The body has zero dings or dents. Windows have no chips or cracks at all. The chrome is a little faded, but there are no dents or dings on any of the bumpers. Some of the stainless trim is a little faded also, but everything is otherwise in great shape. The interior is nearly flawless, no cracks or cuts in the dash at all. The leather seats show very little wear, the carpet is in great shape with no stains. One small defect in the rear seat, see pics."

This is a 1979 Lincoln Continental with 70,100 original miles. From my understanding this is the last year of the huge Lincolns, folks I am no car expert,  I bought the car because it was so cool and I always wanted one, unfortunately I need the money and the car has to go.   The car is in outstanding condition with absolutely no rust, and I was told it was stored in a heated warehouse for many years.  There is a small rust bubble near the pass rear door, it is NOT a hole.  There's no way a car that's 33 years old can be in this good of condition stored in a barn in Northeast Ohio, so the warehouse story sounds probable.  The car runs and drives great, I acquired the car a year ago, and fixed some minor problems such as a missing emblem in the steering wheel, had the brakes re-done (even the brake drums have the original factory paint marks).  It does run a little rough when it's cold, probably could use a carb rebuild since a tune up didn't help.  The car is complete and unrestored and from what we can tell everything is original except the battery and the A/C compressor. 

The car was Factory Undercoated (I think this was actually done at the dealership), but the undercoating is in great shape and not peeling.  Some kind of spray was applied to the engine compartment, which looks weathered, but everything, including the vacuum canisters, look new with NO rust.  The vinyl top has NO cuts or wear, the interior is in fantastic condition, except for a small wear mark on the rear seat.  The trunk has all the mats that are UNSTAINED and like new, the jack looks like it has never been taken out of its holder. The paint is in excellent shape, but it does look like someone buffed the heck out of it and there are some swirl marks.  The only thing that doesn't work is the Cartier clock.  This car needs nothing and can be driven anywhere.  The brakes are VERY touchy, it'll lock up all 4 tires easily to bring the beast to a halt.

Included are the original owner's manual, and original warranty card.  Don't know if the 8-track works, I don't have a good tape and don't want to ruin it if the tape gets eaten.  The power antenna is very cool and works fine.  

Wow, does this car drive nice.  It floats down the road and gets up to 70mph before you know it.  Just sitting behind the wheel with that huge hood in front of you, how cool is that?  What a land yacht.Gosh,  wish I could upload more pics so that I could show every little ding and the entire car, I try to represent the car as accurately as possible.  Take a look at my satisfaction rating (100%), and I intend to keep it.  Since I've sold a couple of my cars on Ebay, all the buyer's were happy.  The car isn't mint or perfect or a museum piece, but for the price, well..it is a real head-turner and fun to drive.  If you wanted to restore it, everything is there, and it would be an easy restoration.  Good luck bidding, serious buyers please submit questions and we can get in touch to answer any questions you may have.
