Hi guys.

This is my 67 Lincoln continental convertible on air ride. I'm about to import it to the UK and I'll be trying to sell. Anyone know of an auction that would be best for this type of car.

Bought from a Manchester importer, it's a new Lincoln built in China for the Chinese market so has a smaller
engine not available in the US market.

FWD, 240hp through a 6 speed autobox. 27 MPG average

Downside, it has a default Sat-Nav for China, not much use in Scotland but it does have Apple Car play
so you can get sat-nav via Google or Waze on the car screen via your phone.

As befits its cheaper price it also has a reduced trim level, so no massage seats, heads up display or cooled seats.
But does have memory seats, remote start, sunroof, adaptive steering, headlights and suspension. auto high beams.

That is, hands down, my all-time favourite Mustang. Ever since I saw one, brand new, in a dealership somewhere in Cornwall, 50 years ago. when I was 9 years old. Yours looks awesome; you must be very proud.

shame it's not red...getmecoat

I had one the same colour back in the early 90's, I won't say what I sold it for (very cheap) but it was a real struggle to find a buyer. Everything worked & it was pretty much rust free, paint needed a good polish & the interior was a bit tatty. Drove beautifully.

Leave the car there, you will get much better money for it.

Personally I can see the bottom falling out of the classic car market in the UK due to all the climate change groups and government taking notice frown

Baggie Austin,
50 years ago when I was in high school, the only thing that kept me awake for three years was drawing pictures of the 1968 GTO. I, finally bought one about 10 years ago, and it is just finishing going through a body off restoration. I should have it back within the next month. I have other fine automobiles, but I have never been so excited in anticipation. And it's being resprayed in its original Verduro Green color. That Endura front bumper, 51 years ago, forever changed how cars would look going forward with the elimination of the chrome bumpers (although the chrome was still an option in '68). I should have pictures next month.
