1986 Lincoln Continental 5.0 302 Engine – Rare Rust Free California Car

Description

This car was purchased from an auto auction in California as a donation car due to the death of the owner. I flew out and drove this car back to Missouri, with no mechanical issues. Unfortunately, I was not aware that California changes title types on all donated cars to JUNK status, and requires a full inspection of the vehicle to change it back to a regular title. I was able to get the full inspections completed in Missouri, but California would not honor them. Missouri issued a regular title for the vehicle in 2016, with a prior salvage status noted on it.

As you can see in the pics, the car is in very good condition. The engine runs great, and has a small transmission leak. Recent work completed: New muffler, newer matching tires, fresh oil change, new wiper blades, new fuel pump, and a tune-up (new cap and rotor, wires, and plugs). It will need a new battery.

The driver seat was re-upholstered in 2010. The air suspension works properly. I put insurance on this and drove it all over town, at least 100 miles with no major issues. The instrument dash cluster works, but the mileage shows ERROR on the display. I am not sure what is needed to correct this issue.

My intent was to restore this car, but just never got around to it.

Delivery may be possible, depending on where it needs to go. Drop me a note with your location and I can see if it is an option.

NADA shows this car at $9,050 for high retail, and $3,925 for average retail.

No reserve has been set.
