Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Wide whitewalls, skirts, radio. 1982 AACA NFP. Still very attractive but aged. Maybe more recent interior. Sound paint and chrome. Said to have had much recent mechanical work after being dormant for many year. The cosmetics deserve similar attention.

Market commentary

Sold by RM at the S. Ray Miller auction in 2004 for $75,900, then again in Arizona in January this year for $66,000. Any rational chartist would take this sequence of data and project people offering money to take Continentals off their hands in about three years. Thats not going to happen, but there is nothing specifically about this Continental to suggest why buyers continue to bid it down.
