Description: You are looking at a 1974 Lincoln
Continental in top condition. I purchased the car in Miami 3 years ago
and have enjoyed it ever since. Miles of Hood and more. Everything is
in its original condition, the white leather interior shows some wear
on the driver's seat, all other interior is good to excellent. Unlike
many other cars of that age the dashboard has absolutely no cracks, all
chrome and glass is still the way it was when the car left the factory
back in November 1973 (Model year '74'). The paint is original and
still has its original shine. The vinyltop had been replaced one year
ago. All windows roll up and down just as smooth as on the first day.
A/C works, but doesn't blow cold (cools better in Low-position). The
460 engine starts right up and runs strong and smooth. Transmission
shifts extremely smooth. Car has the original -optional- wheel covers
painted in triple-white. Concealed headlamp covers work flawlessly;
however, they stay open when engine is turned off, close when engine is
running and open when headlamps are turned on. Engine does not leak or
spill.
Has rebuilt 4-barrel carburetor. The car's shock absorbers were
replaced for brand-new ones 2 years ago. The ride in this rare '74'
model is just incredible. Cartier clock is not working. There is a
small rip in the carpet on the driver\\s side, other than that all
carpeting is good and shows minimal wear. Original Continental floor
mats. All lighting works without problems. To preserve the original
look, but to enjoy CDs in the car, the following modification was done
one year ago: A 6-CD Alpine changer is installed in the trunk and
connected via FM-Modulation to the in-dash radio. The original Philco
radio was replaced for a more powerful 1978 Ford model and boosted by
an additional under-dash amplifier you will have analog, but superb
Stereo Sound with appr. 40 Watts per each of the four speakers. The
front speakers are JBL, the rear speakers are Pioneer. With the mini
remote from Alpine you can elegantly switch between CD tracks and
discs. Since Alpine is famous for producing non-skip CD players, also
this changer absolutely does not skip or slips ! There is absolutely no
distortion of the original look (so also not to attract radio thieves).
Along with the car I'll throw in a complete spare set of the long
taillight section (left and right) plus a set of two spare front (and
hard to get) cornering lamps with chrome grille. Car has been babied
its entire life and certainly under my ownership.
