The story of this car goes as such.
Belonged to an elderly couple who had the car for 30 years. They traded the car for some construction work on their home. I purchased the car six months ago from the construction guy.
If you know much about these cars you know how rare they are getting. There is never an in between. Either they are flintstone specials with rust and holes everywhere or they are mint and have a heavy asking price.
This is an in between.

I purchased this car to do a complete restoration, but have too many projects. This would be a great car for someone to enjoy driving while finishing restoration. This car runs and drives perfectly!
It will need to be repainted, paint shows its age.
Headliner needs to be re stitched, not ripped!! can be repaired
Dash has only one crack. Which is rare. Usually these spiderweb. Can be repaired easily
Door panels need some TLC
Mostly cosmetic issues.
This can easily be a 35-50k Lincoln for not that much.
