Here is something you do not see every day, a gorgeous original 1982 Lincoln Continental in exceptional condition. This car has been pampered, garaged, and treasured all of it’s life. The 1982-87 Lincoln Continentals are seldom seen today, they are a rare body style; the ’82-83 cars are the rarest of them all. They feature very different styling cues when compared to the later cars, particularly in the front end treatment. Perform a Google search for these two model years and see how many you find for sale in any condition, let alone in remarkable original condition like this one. This car was custom ordered by its original owner in a very elegant color combination. The understated platinum exterior is accented by bold burgundy/red bodyside moldings and burgundy/red dual band pin stripes. The sumptuous leather interior is a gorgeous deep blue. Wide whitewall tires are fitted to the original alloy wire wheels. This Continental is STUNNING and turns heads wherever it goes. People ask about this car constantly and often comment that they have never seen one before. The paint is gorgeous and holds a beautiful gloss, a testament to it’s 100% garaged pedigree. The only notable exterior flaw is one small ding on the rear wheel well molding (see photo). The interior is immaculate and supple; it could almost pass for a car with 22,000 miles. Please examine the perfect dash, steering wheel, and spotless trunk. The only flaw is a small tear on the driver’s seat (see photo). The car is in better cosmetic condition than most 4-5 year old Camrys. The car is an original Southern California car and remained there until I purchased it eight years ago and moved it to the Seattle area, as a result there is absolutely no rust anywhere (see undercarriage photos). It has just under 122,000 honest miles on it, which translates to just 3800 miles per year; very low mileage for it’s age. One feature that makes the 82-83s more desirable is that they do not have the problem plagued and complex front and rear air suspension that was standard on the 84-87 models, yet it rides so smooth and quiet you would think it does. It also has Ford’s reliable, durable, and economical 5.0 (302) V8 with Ford’s fine 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. This drive train, coupled with the Continentals smaller size, make this a really nice modern drivable collectable. It starts, idles, drives and shifts beautifully. All power accessories work, including the trip computer. The AC blows cold. I have owned this Continental for eight great years and I’m really going to miss it, but I am now downsizing my collection of cars. The time has come to find this wonderful 1982 Lincoln Continental another fine home and for someone else to enjoy it. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a really nice honest and original example of these cars. You will be the only kid on the block with one of these! It is in excellent condition and can be shown with pride immediately. Included with the sale of this car are the 1982 Ford Motor Company Service Manuals that cover all Fox Body cars, including the Lincoln Continental. The car is 32+ years old, so obviously it is sold as is, with no warranty expressed or implied.
