Seller's Description:

Up for sale is a 1974 Lincoln Continental with 26,000 miles it has the 460 v8 motor the car runs and drives but has a vacuum leak somewhere so it's affecting the brakes because the pedal is really hard when you press on it, the vacuum leak also affects the idle $4,200 or trade call or text.  The car should be towed instead of driven due to the stiff brakes.

I have no personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1974 Lincoln Continental 4dr Sedan

[SuperJonas]

Hmmm, swap in a new brake booster, check all the vacuum lines and that just might give the beast a new lease on life.  I have always admired the Lincolns from the 1970s, right up to '78 before the 460 was no longer available for the next year.

 

Not too bad of a price, negotiate it down some more...might a be a bit of a bargain!

Few people realize that a 1974 Lincoln sedan is 100 times

rarer than a 1977 or 1978 or 1979 equivalent.  This is yet

another case where once-routine cars have disappeared,

and no one noticed.

 

It needs a new vinyl roof, and the stated brake work,

and maybe something else;  but a patient buyer might be

able to get this for $2000 or $2500 after months go by.

126,000 mi?

[John_S_in_Penna]

The mileage could very well have rolled over.

That's a good observation, Em Tee.  One would

want to see some documentation to prove the

claimed low mileage.

Maybe it's the photos, but the whole car to me looks too worn to be a 26 Kmi original...
