It's hard not to like the Continental if you're a fan of luxurious four-wheel companions. Lincoln started the Continental with an exquisite recipe in mind, and the more the model evolved, the more features made their way to drivers.
The 1964 model year introduced a new redesign, focusing on improving passengers' comfort. The wheelbase and the rear headroom were increased, while flat side glass provided the Continental with a new roofline, eventually generating a more modern look.
The 1964 Continental that landed on eBay earlier this week is a great way for petrolheads to take a closer look at the original model without visiting a museum.
The Continental was recently purchased from the original owner. The car spent its entire life in the same family, with the owner's father buying it from the Lincoln dealership in March 1964. It remains mainly original, as the car now comes with a new gas tank and carburetor.
The Continental requires a complete restoration, as it's been sitting for 26 years in a garage. The good news is that the car spent all these years inside, so it doesn't come with concerning rust issues. However, you'll still have to deal with the typical metal problems, but bringing the undercarriage to a tip-top shape doesn't seem a challenging job for a skilled restorer.
The trunk is still in good condition and comes with the original carpet, and the original glass is still on the car without any cracks. Seller northriverautollc has more details on eBay, and if you're interested in getting additional information, you can contact them via the auction site before you go see the car in person.
I think an in-person or third-party inspection is mandatory, considering that this Lincoln checks all the boxes for a complete restoration. Bringing it back to factory specifications looks doable, and we all know that collectors would pay big bucks for a 1964 Continental in mint condition.
The engine is still in working shape, but you shouldn't consider the Continental road-worthy. The brakes need work, so if you're committed to a purchase, you must take the car on a trailer.
As anyone can expect, a nearly 100% original Continental in such a good shape can't sell cheaply. The owner knows this, too, so the selling price is $14,500. However, the Make Offer button has also been enabled, so if you believe this can be your next project, you can contact the owner with another offer.
Meanwhile, the vehicle is parked in Wahoo, Nebraska, and considering the listing will expire in approximately 29 days, you have enough time to book an in-person inspection. eBay's statistics indicate that eight people have already added the Continental to their watchlist, so other buyers might be interested in a purchase.
