Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Good paint, interior and chrome but steering wheel, dashboard and instruments were superficially done. Sharp and like new underhood. CCCA Premier winner eight years ago.

Market commentary

Continentals are expensive cars to restore so its easy understand how the fil touches could be passed over after spending tens of thousands. That doesnt, however, prevent the inference that shortcuts taken in something as visible as the instrument panel and its contents dont extend to shortcuts in less visible areas. Like maybe the engine bearings or suspension bushings. In this transaction the seller got everything this car deserved.
