1974 Lincoln Continental Mark Iv Convertible on 2040-cars

Up for sale is my 2-owner, 1974 Lincoln Continental Mark IV Convertible, 460 cu. in. engine, automatic transmission, 48,491 documented original miles, dark burgundy body color with a tan convertible roof and tan leather interior.  This is a custom convertible professionally built by a renowned coach builder some years ago.  Overall the car is in great condition and has been garaged all its life.  Options include power convertible top, power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission, A/C, AM/FM radio, power windows and locks, power trunk, power seats, power antenna, cruise control, tilt steering, remote passenger outside mirror and lighted vanity mirrors.  Most options work as they should except that the A/C needs to be charged and the vanity mirror lights are missing.  The paint shines beautifully and accents a clean, straight body.  The top surfaces of the painted areas however show signs of paint cracking – but this by no means takes away from how great the car looks overall.  The interior is original and in nice condition with average wear.  The convertible top material looks excellent and powers up and down nicely as it should.  Convertible top boot is also in excellent condition and fits as it should (2 of the snaps need a simple repair).  All and all, the chrome is very presentable with very little pitting.  The bumpers shine nicely showing only small signs of age.  The stainless overall is in nice condition except there are some dents on the wheel opening moldings.  The car has a nice set of tru-spoke wire wheels on it with tires that are like new.  There are non-operative, decorative spot lights installed on the front fenders that look nice.  The underside of the car is solid and clean (see pictures).  Engine starts up quiet, shifts and drives good.  There is a small transmission fluid leak near the pan area.  No disappointments!   IMPORTANT ... PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!  I have disclosed what I know about my car to the best of my ability and to the best of my knowledge.  The car is sold "as-is" and is located in the Pittsburgh, PA area.  It can either be picked up at or delivered from my location.  Buyer will need to arrange for ALL shipping requirements including payment!
