Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Overdrive 3-speed, skirts, wide whitewalls, hubcaps and trim rings, dual outside mirrors, bumper tips, pushbutton radio.

Condition

Sound old paint with small edge chips and small stress cracks. Failing repair on top of the left front fender. Good major chrome but flaking taillight bezels and lower grille elements. Good gauge faces with pitted chrome bezels and horn ring. Worn steering wheel rim. 1965 AACA and unnumbered CCCA National First Prize. Fresh out of long term neglect, runs and drives but still needs work.

Market commentary

This result represents a severe discount for the restoration's age. The Continental needs attention in most areas but is better than the price indicates, and a good value for the new owner especially if he or she has time to spend on it.
