***1968 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL SEDAN SURVIVOR ONE FAMILY OWNED OVER 40 YEARS*** ***RUNS DRIVES FINE --- BLACK PAINT BLACK VINYL TOP RED LEATHER*** This is a 1968 Lincoln Continental four door sedan that the owner asked me to list. The car was bought from a car dealer in 1969 or 1970 by his mother. She drove the car until 2008 when she passed away; then her son inherited it. The car has always been garaged until recently. The owner has lost storage so he has decided to sell this car. It has been repainted one time. The interior, trim, chrome, engine, etc is all original. The cosmetics have aged but are still presentable. Engine fires right up and runs fine. Everything works on the car except the AC which needs a charge. The radio antenna goes up when the radio is turned on and the gas gauge works. Car has the original floor mats and owner's manual. It has a couple of small dents and a little bit of rust starting on the rear quarters - look at the photos. This car is priced to sell. If you would like to look at the car, go for a ride or talk to the owner just email for his phone number. Car is black with a black vinyl top and has red leather interior. It still has the original hub caps on P235X75X15 tires. It has the famous doors with the rear ones opening from the front. It was garaged since purchased until recently. Floors are solid. You may not be able to see them but there are ground straps under the car that have been there since it was purchased by the current owner's mother back in 69 or 70. At that time the car had 20K miles on it. The car dealer told them the car was owned by a railroad executive and the car had a phone with a large box in the trunk. The ground straps were needed for it.  She's a beauty - trunk opens and closes easily as does the hood. Interior is the original red leather. Plenty of room for everyone Yes, the original leather has aged. Original carpet is in really great condition. Seats are thickly padded. It has all the seat belts. Rear seat It shows 78051 miles - see title below. Dash has some cracking Glove box Headliner The panels were removed on the driver side doors to fix the windows. All windows work and the panels are included with the car - they just need to be installed.
