Lincoln
Continental Mark VI

1983

Signature series - a time-warp find!

This is a really authentic, reat condition Continental Mark VI coupe. The car is very original in all aspects and is a rare and wonderful find. Although not necessarily considered a "collectable" by purist standards, ts sheer condition makes her so.

This is a genuine 2 owner car that spent its whole life in Illinois but never driven on salty roads and showing a very low 49,000 miles.

Finished in optional Diamond blue metallic with a silver cabriolet vinyl top and light blue/grey leather interior. The complete combination was an optional extra with the high metallic paint finish and the leather being an additional option over cloth seats.

This Lincoln has been recently gone over by a local work-shop and everything is in good operating condition. All that was required was a light tune-up. The last owner, 5 years of age, nsured the oil was changed every 3,000 miles without fail. Everything in the car works; from windows, o seats, o lights, /C (new compressor converted to 134A), eater, ight down to the most insignificant little feature - including the exterior opera lights! The car still has its original spare which appears to have never been used!

The paint on the entire car is 100% original without any respray in any part. The body is rust free. The underside is rust free albeit with minor scale. The whole car is very straight, ccident free and has never had any body repair. This is evidenced by the original factory stickers and markings on the inside edges and under the hood. For original paint, t is stunning with a deep luster and shine. There are little nicks and minor chips but nothing major and certainly nothing that needs repairing. It is very shiny, onsistent and simply looks great from close and afar. Although not perfect, ERY impressive for a 30 year old car!

All rubber, lass and trim fixtures are in wonderful condition without any signs of fading, arks or scratches. The alloy wheels are in good condition without any scuffs or rashes and look excellent. The bumpers and wheel arch mouldings are virtually prefect. The under-scuff chrome side mouldings are excellent and any marks you see in the pictures are the "mirror" reflection of the car-park asphalt.

The interior is absolutely fantastic! Finished in a light blue/grey leather, he looks incredibly sharp. The dash is perfect without any sun-fading or cracking. All the vinyl, aux wood and carpets are great. The dash cluster is clean and straight but for slight tarnishing on the gold of the instruments (but hardly noticeable). The steering wheel is without a single crack. The seats are in simply amazing presentation and condition, otally clean and without even a scuff, cratch or thread pulled. This is surely the best testament for a low mileage example. Carpets, oor panels, andles, witches, nobs and every little item is excellent. The headliner is also very good. The interior is without doubt a 9.5 out of 10. Just stunning.

The car all round is very original in all respects. Bear new 215/70 whitewalls sit on good condition factory alloy wheels. The car has its original operating manual.

~~Overall, his Lincoln Continental Mark VI coupe is an excellent unrestored and original example. Although not a "show car" by true definition, t certainly ranks very high in its current collectible condition. You could certainly drive her with pride as-is to your next Lincoln meet and attract a lot of attention. It ranks a clear 9-out-of-10 driver condition and would make a great low-cost investment for any 80s car collection.~~

This Lincoln is part of a private collection. I am not a broker or retail-style car dealer; although licensed, am a professional car collector of some30 years with considerable experience and knowledge of British and European Cars. I have a long standing reputation being associated with Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor cars which I take seriously.I take a lot of pride in my cars and have fun in collecting and restoring them.However, uctions are not a game so when you place a bid or offer, nd you are the winning bidder, lease understand you have entered a binding contract.You cannot bid and win the auction and expect not to meet the terms and conditions. Bidding and/or winning does not mean you are expecting me to “hold” the car until you have the opportunity to inspect it. Any inspection contemplated should be undertaken BEFORE you bid or make an offer and I openly welcome any potential buyer to come and personally inspect the car. Once you bid ormake an offer, ou are doing so to buy WITHOUT conditions. A $2,000 deposit (non-refundable) is required within 24 hours of the close of the auction and payable by PayPal.The balance of funds are required within 7 days of the close of the auction and must be provided by cashier’s check or bank wire.I cannot accept PayPal for the balance unless you are willing to meet the cost of transfer fees. Full payment must be made (and payments cleared) before the title and/or the vehicle is released. All payments are non-refundable. Payments as described above form an important part of this purchase contract and so, f all the funds are not received as outlined above, reserve the right to terminate the transaction without notice. If there has been any deposit or other part payments received and I elect to terminate the contract, reserve the right to keep any such deposits or payments and resell the vehicle to another bidder or interested party or re-list the vehicle at any time. I am happy to assist with shipping arrangements on a national and worldwide basis but the winning bidder takes full responsibility for pickup and/or shipping and at his cost.

As a collector and experienced restorer of classic cars, make every effort to bring my cars to a very high standard. Unless specifically stated, he car is not of show standard but of good quality "driver" condition. Please understand, he very nature of these classics is such that it is not always possible to attend to every single item, r perhaps I may have inadvertently overlooked an item. Please note, itted radio/stereo systems are usually subject to upgrade by purchasers so I do not ensure operation of these. Further, feature or function that is working perfectly one moment, ay decide to play-up the next. After all, t is some 30 years old. For this reason it is necessary for the following condition:

The vehicle is being sold "as-is/where-is"with no warranty expressed, ritten or implied.Any descriptions or representations are made with reasonable judgment and all efforts are made to ensure fair assessment andaccuracy but they are for descriptive and identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. The seller shall not be responsible forerrors in description, uthenticity, enuineness, r defects herein and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, nforeseen imperfection, efect or damage.It is the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied himself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely.The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects at the buyer’s request prior to the close of the auction. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.Being a classic car in excess of 10 years of age, n most US states, he mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. In this regard the seller makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown. I can hold the vehicle up to 30 days while you arrange shipping but you must immediately insure it. I will not bear any responsibility for any additional costs including storage, ransportation, r repair after the close of the auction. Whereas I am happy to store the car in excess of 30 days from auction end, cost of $35 per day shall apply beyond 30 days of auction end. Also, ou must remember that this is a classic +/-30 year old vehicle, nd while it is up to you, do not recommend that you just “hop in and drive it across the country”. At least, have never done that. I have always professionally transported the cars in enclosed carriers from where I bought them to my home.

PLEASE; IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS,MESSGAE ME BEFORE YOU BID AS, ESPECTFULLY, HERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS.
