1970 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL SURVIVOR 2 OWNER - $4500 (Odessa, NY) HERE IS A RARE OPERTUNITY, THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AT ASTRO LINCOLN MERCURY IN PENSACOLA FLORIDA 2/21/70 BUY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IT WAS THEN PURCHASED IN FLORIDA BY THE 2ND OWNER AIR FORCE OFFICER DONALD C. RAILSBACK WHO WAS TRANSFERRED TO CALIFORNIA AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. HE WAS STATIONED IN CALIFORNIA WERE HE MET HIS WIFE IN 1980 HE TRANSFERRED TO MEDINA, OHIO WERE THE CAR WAS LAST REGISTERED IN 1980. HE LEFT THE SERVICE IN 80 AND MOVED TO HIS WIFE'S HOME OF ITHACA, NY WERE THE WAS PUT IN THE BARN AND NOT USED AGAIN IT WAS STARTED BUY DON OVER THE YEARS AND ATTEMPTS WERE GOING TO BE MADE TO PUT IT BACK ON THE ROAD BUT TIME AND FAMILY AND LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH BRITISH CARS LEFT THE LINCOLN IN STORAGE. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN THE FALL JUST TO DO A MECHANICAL RESTORATION AND KEEP IT IN SURVIVOR CONDITION. THE CAR HAS ALL ORIGINAL MANUALS PLUS THE ONE FOR THE AFTER MARKET CRUISE CONTROL. AS WELL AS SOME OLD SERVICE RECIPE'S AND REGISTRATIONS. THE CAR IS BEING SOLD ON DONS 1980 OHIO TITLE THAT IS CLEAN AND FREE. THE CAR IS PRESENTLY IN RUNNING AND DRIVING CONDITION AND COULD BE DRIVEN THAT BE SAID IT IS UNTESTED FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MILES AROUND MY BLOCK. THINGS I REPLACED ALL THE BRAKES ARE NEW CALIPERS, PADS, DISKS, WHEEL CYLINDERS, MASTER CYLINDER, RUBBER LINES, STEEL LINES THAT NEEDED IT AND THE PRESSURE SWITCH. THE GAS TANK WAS REMOVED AND FLUSHED AND WAS VERY, CLEAN ALL THE RUBBER HOSES WERE REPLACED ALSO. ALL THE BELTS HOSES AS WELL AS THE HEATER CORE WERE REPLACED. ALL PLUGS, POINTS, CONDENSER AND WIRES WERE REPLACED. ALL ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS AND FILTERS. NEW BATTERY MOST OF THE VACUUM HOSES WERE REPLACED. THE STEERING GEAR BOX WAS REBUILT. TIRES ARE GOOD. I HAD THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR PAINTED THERE WERE NO RUST HOLES JUST A LOT SPOTS THAT WERE UNATTRACTIVE. THIS CAR IS A GREAT CANDIDATE TO JUST DRIVE OR PERFORM A RESTOMOD. THE ISSUES: THE VINYL TOP ISN'T TOO BAD FOR A DRIVER CAR IT HAS A COUPLE OPEN AREAS AND FADING. THE A/C IS COMPLETE BUT NEEDS SERVICING. THE SEATS AND CARPETS ARE VERY GOOD AND HAVE WEAR CONSTANT WITH A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE. THE DASH HAS ONE CRACK AND THE WHEEL IS WARPED ON TOP FROM THE SUN. THE HEADLINER NEEDS REPLACING THE MICE HAD A HOME UP THERE. I TESTED ALL THE WINDOW MOTORS THEY ALL WORK THE DRIVERS WINDOW GOES UP AND DOWN THE TWO QUARTER WINDOWS NEED NEW GEARS THEY ARE PLASTIC AND CHEAP. THE PASSENGER WINDOW MAKE NOISE I AM STILL LOOKING AT THAT IT DON'T GO UP OR DOWN AT THIS POINT. IT NEEDS A MUFFLER AND TAIL PIPE. THE BUMPERS HAVE SOME DENTS AND WEAK CHROME IN AREAS. NOTE: due to the fact this car has been sold 4 times now and nobody has paid for or even bothered to show up to see the car...there is going to be a non refundable 500.00 deposit.
