This is a 1956 Continental Mark II. I bought this car several years ago with the intention of restoring it. I parked it in my basement and never got around to it. At 75 years of age I don't think I ever will so I'm giving someone else an opportunity to own it. The car is being listed without reserve so bid to buy.The car is one of approximately 2500 built in 1956. It has factory air conditioning which was the only available option, however the condenser is missing, other components seem to be there. The car has a shiny black paint job but was not properly prepared before painting. Interior is nice vinyl. Car runs well but has no brakes. Transmission seems ok but leaks fluid. Exhaust system is good. The drivers side floorboard has been replaced and there is rust in the frame behind the rear spring mounts. Front and back windshields are good, both door glasses are cracked. All window and seat motors work. There is a small dent above the windshield in the roof resulting from the transporter when it was shipped to me.This is a mostly complete car that needs total restoration and is a great candidate for such. It has not been driven for many years but cranks well and will drive (slowly, no brakes!) I know very little else about it but will answer questions to the best of my ability.
