Continental production steadily increased throughout the decade, surpassing 95K units by 1977. In the final year of production, over 92K Continentals were manufactured.
An example from 1970 recently appeared on eBay, presented by seller psychic-2775. This particular car boasts an extraordinary package that is highly sought after by collectors.
This Continental is completely original and has never been restored. It has remained within the same family since its purchase, showing no signs of rust and retaining its original paint. The interior is nearly flawless and the car has only accumulated 28K miles.
With its desirable features, it is likely that this Continental will find a new owner quickly.
According to the current owner, the car was originally purchased by their grandfather from a dealership. They inherited the car approximately a year ago and now have the title in their name.
No reconditioning, restoration, or replacements have been made to the car, allowing it to maintain its original configuration and parts from the day it left the assembly line. This survivor is a unique addition to any collection and may only require subtle refinements to achieve perfection as a 10 Continental.
The body of the car requires minor repairs, as the owner mentions a small dent on the passenger fender caused by their grandfather while pulling the car out of the garage. Other than that, there are no other issues to note. The Continental looks great and may just need a thorough wash to shine like a brand-new car once it arrives in your garage.
The odometer indicates a mere 28K miles, and the owner assures that these are all original. The car has only been driven occasionally, which explains the low mileage. The impeccable interior further supports this claim, as everything inside appears flawless.
Unfortunately, the selling price will remain unknown until the auction concludes, as the owner has set a reserve. The highest offer currently stands at $5,900, but the reserve has not been met. Therefore, the online community will need to surpass this amount in order to give this Lincoln Continental a second chance. However, without knowledge of the reserve, it is impossible to determine how close we are to the winning bid. We will have to wait for five more days until the auction concludes.
The car is located in Antioch, California, and is capable of being driven anywhere on its own wheels. However, due to its low mileage, it may be advisable to transport it on a trailer and store it directly, as such a well-preserved survivor should only venture out of the garage on sunny Sundays.
