Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

368/285hp, automatic, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, Town & Country radio, power seat, power windows, wheel covers, bias ply wide whitewall tires.

Condition

Dull old paint with a smattering of edge chips. Sound but worn and aged upholstery and interior trim. Decent chrome. Restored many years ago to the much less stringent standards of the time and now presents like a well maintained used car.

Market commentary

Back in 1991, twenty-six years ago, this Continental was sold at The Auction in Las Vegas for $7,140 in beaten up, dilapidated, nearly parts car condition: "older paint, nicked and dinged, rust in sills and around trim, vinyl interior, cracked dash; not a nice car." It's obviously had a restoration since then, but it is now showing age and plenty of miles. The reported high bid was adequate for this Mark II's condition.
