Guest ContinentalMarkVI Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 1981 Lincoln Continental Mark VI71,600 Miles (Original)$6500 Exterior: WhiteInterior: BurgundyWheels: 20” Chrome · Favorite Features: (All Original)o Flip Up Headlightso Original authentic leather burgundy upholsteryo 3 Panel Led Dash Displayo Electronic Seat Adjustmento 2 Piece windows (small one rolls down first)o 6 person bench seating (driver and passenger seats adjust individually)o Personal reading lamps for backseat passengerso Personal ash trays and lighters for each passengero Full Tilt steering wheel adjustmento GPS Vehicle Trackero A/C is a monster!o Classy placement of Lincoln emblem throughout the car.o Thin body classic steering wheelo Dual Exhaust · Sound System:o 12” Dual Rockford Fosgate Subwooferso 350w Alpine Rear Speakerso 1800w Kenwood Amp (SUB Amp)o Alpine MRP-F250 Amp (Speakers Amp)o Kenwood KDC-355U Receiver · Newly Replaced parts: ($3,000, in new replacement parts and labor)o Radiatoro Fan Clutcho Water Pumpo Air Pumpo Full Front Brake Assemblyo Ball Joint (passenger side)o Custom VOD LED Thermostato Power Steering Pump (works perfectly, but doesn’t sound smooth when parallel parking)o Yokohama’s on font. (Currently @ 90% tread life) · Parts need replacing:o Driver side window motoro Interior Lights stay on, (I took out the 15amp fuse in the meantime)o Drivers side Seat Cushion has rip in upholsteryo Ding in front driver side front fendero Minor scratch on passenger sideo Cruise Controlo Far right LED dash display randomly works.§ (Monitors cruise control and systems check, when it does work its highly inaccurate anyways.) Reason for selling: Sadly I just cannot afford insurance and continuous car payments after my big move from Northern Virginia to Los Angeles (Shipped the car, no cross-country). The Job I transferred out here for doesn’t nearly pay as much as back home. I am in the middle of finding additional streams of income, but as of right now I have come to the conclusion I have to sell… Hopefully things work out real soon and I don’t have to sell her! Or maybe even find a buyer and would let me buy her back little later down the road. She truly is a classic beauty and has been babied her whole life. I would really love to find her a better home with a caring owner that can continue to take care of her. She floats like a boat, and is by far the most comfortable way to get from where you are to where you are going, any day. I am currently financing the car, so the only way I can transfer tittle is a payoff in full to Car Credit Nation whom I bought from while still in Virginia, or secondly you can pay me in exchange for keys and car, and wait till they mail out the tittle, then I can sign over to you. (1st method is preferred much more greatly) or even thirdly maybe they will let you take over financing of $200 every 2 weeks @19% interest. Please contact me and come take a look! I am willing to ship as well, but you would have to pay for shipping. Michael703 507 7637gaverth@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) The magazine Hemmings Motor News, and its accompanyingwebsite www.hemmings.com, remain the foremost places toadvertise antique cars and parts. I don't think you need toblanket the whole internet with for-sale ads if you advertisein Hemmings and price your car accurately for its condition. I'd suggest taking an ad out for at least a few months.Collector cars are a specialty item and may not sell immediately.In today's market, in which buyers tend to be selective,a car must be priced reasonably if it's to get many inquiries. If you're trying to reach dedicated car collectors, you might putthe original wheels back on if you still have them: Car collectors willmostly want authentic original wheels and tires, and if a carisn't authentic, they may wonder "What else has been customized?" You can probably sell your special wheels separately and get moremoney for them. People might advise you to advertise on Craig's List, too.You will reach a general-interest audience there--peoplewho may love your wheels and fine aftermarket stereo.Even though the ads are local, there are search enginesthat can look countrywide and find your car. Others may say Ebay. The Lincoln and Continental Owners' Club (LCOC) has avery good magazine in which you could advertise, too.That club is full of people dedicated to Lincolns, who willespecially appreciate cars in authentic original condition. Mark VI's are beautiful cars. That's exactly the kind of sumptuouscar that someone should be manufacturing today. All the best to you in your sale!
