Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
An older average quality respray. Rocker trim isn't flush and neither is the passenger's door. Body sides aren't totally straight. Slightly dull original gauges but the rest of the interior is good and lightly worn. An older restoration that wasn't done to exacting standards in the first place and is now a usable driver.
Market commentary
Continental Mark IIs are beautiful, elegant, seductive design objects that also function as a usable automobile. Each was hand built by Lincoln, making restoration an individual experience, and they have not always had easy lives once they left the hands of their wealthy first or second owners. While a concours restored example can bring six figures, it costs that much, no matter where the process starts, to reach that level of perfection. For this usable, attractive, air conditioned example the price it brought here is a sound buy, but no bargain.
