It depends. If it was restored to original specifications, and you can vouch for that, here would be a good place, or the lincoln continental owners club (lcoc.org). If you're not an expert, get a lcoc club member who is, to take a look. If you know the car isn't original, or don't care to have it examined by experts (as it will be here), put it on ebay, carsonline.com, whatever. If you post some photos, somebody here will be able to steer you in the right direction.

This forum is certainly a free place to list your car,

but getting more exposure elsewhere gives you a

better opportunity to sell it. More people may see it elsewhere.

In addition to the places already mentioned, try

Hemmings Motor News (magazine) and its accompanying

website, www.hemmings.com. Hemmings is the foremost

magazine in the antique-car field--full of hundreds of pages

of classified ads for antique cars and car parts. They are

based in Vermont, and their toll-free number is 800-227-4373.

They can helpfully describe to you the ad options they offer.

For what you get, their cost is quite modest.

As a previous poster mentioned, people will most want a

car that is authentically restored--instead of modified with

a later engine, flames painted on the hood, etc.

All the best to you in your sale!

the if I decide to sell it phrase won't help. Either you want to sell it or not. With all due respect buyers like dogs, do not like chasing their own tail. Pictures, location and price will assist you temendously. Welcome ! Wayne

Mr. Capone, I believe the owner hasn't decided

about his car, and he's asking the helpful advice

of fellow hobbyists who may have more experience

in selling. Like all smart people, he's gathering

information before taking the plunge. I know all

car hobbyists are happy to help a fellow car fan!

Yes, and while put directly, AC's advice is spot on.

Mr. Pena it was advice I was giving attempting to stress the importance of being definitive. And yes as a frequent buyer I was trying and always do try to help a fellow fan.
