About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Grimy engine bay. Tired older paint and chrome, but there aren't any blemishes other than a touch up on the right front. Scratched up door handles. A few small chips in the original windshield. The interior is a mix of restored and original, with the rear seats old and cracked. A frankly odd car with some weird choices made over the years. Condition-wise, it's barely a presentable driver.

Market commentary

It is a stretch to imagine liking this Continental enough to pay this much for it, a curious combination of freshened and original with oddball modifications. It would have been fully priced at $15,000 and the result here is 40% over that, even if it is "only" $6,000.
