Price: US $3,250.00
1982 Lincoln Continental, Bustleback/Slantback Sedan, silver/champagne in color with a navy leather interior. I have a Marti Report showing this car to be only 1 of 5 that came from the factory in this color combination. It is trimmed out in factory red/maroon pinstriping with red/maroon bodyside moldings.
I purchased the car off of eBay over a year ago from a Washingtion state owner. According to the owner, in the year before he sold the car to me, it recieved the following: new dash computer (digital dash), radiator flush, hoses, belts, water pump, fuel pump, starter, alternator, power steering pump, rack and pinion, trans flush and filter and rear end gear flush and regular oil changes..
Since I've owned the car, it received: regular oil changes, new battery, K & N air filter, air breather, new rims, new tires, new headliner, a/c recharge, dual exhaust and a complete detailing in and out. I have most receipts for what I did to the car.
All items on the car work except that the driver door window requires a little help going up and down.
The car gets a lot of attention.
I did some history tracing on the car and to the best of my knowledge, it looks like it was built for the Boston, Mass market and was in the northeast until it was shipped or moved to California sometime in the 90s. It stayed in Ca for a while. With the 2nd owner, it went to Washington state where the car stayed 8 years. I then purchased the car last year from him. The car has not been exposed much to adverse weather and gets many compliments. There's no rust on the car and it looks like most, if not all, of the paint is original.
The car has the reliable 302 Ford v8, carbureted, not injected, with an AOD transmission. It is the last carbureted car Lincoln produced. The car does NOT have air suspension. It has a traditional spring suspension from the factory.
It has a few paint nicks that were touched up with a paint pen and a few scratches, but the car is still a 5 footer with no doubt.
I'm selling it only because I've lost my storage space and it costs $200 a month to store it in another facility, so I prefer to sell it to someone who will take care of it. In my opinion, the car makes a good cruise night vehicle or even a daily driver.
You will likely not see another car like it on the road anytime soon.
The Carfax on this car is clean, but it will show that it is an NAM Titile. In Ohio, that simply means not actual mileage. All that means in this case is that the 5 digit odometer has rolled over from 99, 999 miles. As stated, the car is at 125k miles now.
As well, the price on the car falls in the fair market value for a private seller for a car in this condition, based off several resources, including but not limited to NADA figures.
Also, the car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end or withdraw the listing at any time.
Please be aware that any payment not made in cash will require up to 10 days to verify that the check is valid and not counterfeit/fraudulent before the car and title will be released..can't be too careful these days. The title is clear.
Please review my rating; I'm an honest, long term eBay buyer and I've also sold off eBay before as well.
The vehicle is in Cleveland, Ohio.
