1979 Lincoln Continental COLLECTORS SERIES LOW MILES! LEATHER! TRUE SURVIVOR!

Up for auction is a very rare 1979 Continental Collectors Series. 62K original miles - A true survivor. Original paint. Not perfect but looks good. Aluminum trim has a ding here and there - nothing that cant be fixed. An unmolested example of The finest, largest - and at a hair under 20 feet from bumper to bumper - the longest vehicle America had to offer in 1979. The Pioneer CD player and aftermarket speakers are the only non original things I can find on this car. I may have a period correct 8 track player. If I find it I will include it . The leather on drivers side front seat pad (Lumbar portion) was torndue to theold man (prior owner) wearing suspenders. This Luxury Liner comes with the 4 factory turbine wheels - I may have an extra turbine spare laying around. It also comes with the original owners manual. Some of the photos show her residing in the high desert of Eastern Washington right after I purchased and washed her. Since then I have detailed the exterior, conditioned the top, gold pin striped the exterior, and put three coats of wax on it. Power antenna works. Headliner is good. The fabric that attaches to the windshiels pillars is coming off but can easily be reset with some spray trim adhesive. The Windows work but they are slow. They need to be lubricated.No leaks from the 42' moonroof. The Power locksneed to be lubricated as well as they sometimes work.Sunroofworksgreat. The tires are decent. Breaks are great. AC needs charged. Overall arare example of a limited edition car that survived due to being garaged up until the last few years. It doeshave a block heater as it was a high desert car. One of the bumpers is lightly scuffed. I live in Oregon. The car is 99% rust free. I cant find any rust anywhere.This is a lot of car for the price. Buyer pays shipping from Oregon or you can fly out here and drive it home. It will make it.Passengers side seat is not moving forward and backward I have not tried to diagnose it. Steering wheel has cracks from being in the desert and temperature changes . It needs a little bit of touchup work on the paint.The carburetor could use a cleaning. It idles a little bit rough sometimes but it just does absolutely perfect at speed. I might rebuild the carb before selling. Cruise control works like a charm. Trans is tight. Rides like you are floating on a down comforter. Reliable. Maintained. I had plans to modify this car but I decided to keep it completely stock. Gold grill, gold moon roof, just as she came from the factory. Was not a factory CB car. This is a real gem. Rare to have a full soft top. the top is slightly brittle but only in 2 small sections near the base of the rear widow. You wont be disappointed. I will list pictures of undercarriage (which is excellent) in a day or two. No reserve but I may list it for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.
