"In 2020, over 20,000 kronor were spent on replacing the front suspension, belts, water pump, and other components. Numerous older receipts are available for previous work. The car was driven daily until a few months ago and runs and drives well, though it has only been driven short distances due to needing a full battery charge. The engine, gearbox, and brakes appear to be in good working order. A new inspection is required by the end of September, along with a minor review and service."

Description

This car is being sold on behalf of the owner's estate. Initially sold to its first owner in Florida, it was later imported to the UK and eventually registered in Sweden in 2014. Since then, it has mainly been used as a summer car and has been well-maintained, as indicated by the receipts and paperwork. The interior is very clean and well-kept, and while the bodywork is in decent condition, it does have minor rust blisters and a few scratches that would benefit from a good polish.

This is a sixth-generation Continental series car, featuring its original two-tone Blue and Silver exterior paint, an all-original Blue leather interior, and the original 302 cubic inch V8 engine, transmission, and drivetrain. The Valentino Designer Series package was added, which includes a unique exterior and interior design separate from the Givenchy Series. On Designer Series trunk lids, the Lincoln star emblem is replaced by the logo of each designer.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car runs and drives well, with both the engine and transmission functioning properly. However, it hasn't been driven much in recent months. The brakes work but would benefit from a good, long drive, along with a thorough review and service. The inspection is valid until the end of September. The wheels are in good condition, though the tires are older. The AC is not working, and the electric rear right window and driver seat are also non-functional, possibly due to a fuse issue.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is all original, clean, and well-maintained throughout, with no warning lights displayed. The electric roof functions perfectly, and the car offers a super comfortable driving experience.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight, with some rust blisters around the lower part of the rear right wing and a few scratches on the rear wings (see pictures). The underbody is solid with only minor surface rust in some areas. The paintwork could use a polish to enhance its appearance. The chrome is in decent condition but would benefit from a polish, with some oxidation present. Additionally, the left side blinker plastic cover is broken..

  • General condition:

    This car is an excellent choice for someone starting out in the world of American V8s. It's super affordable, comfortable, and boasts a modern retro styling. The cosmetic issues are minor and can be easily fixed, making it a great entry-level option for enthusiasts.

For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
