Selling a classic car?

I've just been informed the car wasn't driven very much, 045550 is probably correct. This thing could be a real beauty with the right touch.

Jerry- PM sent

Kevin- Should I know who Frank Cannon is? Is that someone who buys old cars?

Mofoot- I actually did the carb work about 2 weeks before that class in Greg's garage, which was good, because it showed me how different carb models are, but also I knew coming in that it wasn't the worst thing in the world. I did enjoy the class though, particularly Tim demanding Zack's drink because he had something else in his had,

And for all interested, the mileage is either 045550, 145550, or 245550, but there are only 5 digits on the odometer, so it says 45550 and I'm in the process of trying to figure out which.

JoeinNY Carburator rebuild class attendee......So easy, even Adam can do it!   



...or maybe it was Rico/Trbenj class..... I forget...I'm over 50 now!

She is a beauty, My garage is too short for that one.   

How many miles on it? Leather or velour? Color?
In great shape, worth about $9-10k. The way it seems (miles??) about $4-5. PM me details, I may have a spot for it in DC. Washington.

you need another one Todd? its got the 460 in it, been sitting for a while but not nearly as long as yours.

thanks Chris, I'll check car gurus out

You sure ?     That's how I fixed my Toyota.

I thought that too at first,but he's a GM kinda guy

Hey everyone,
lately I've been coming here for more non-boat advice than the other way around, and here I go again. I have come into contact with a pretty cool old car and have offered to find out more info or help sell for a friend. Problem is, I have no idea how to identify the market for such a vehicle, and as far as I know there's not a "InterestingOldCarFan.com" that I can go to. So, anybody who has any ideas or may be involved with a group or website that handles things like this, let me know. My friend want to sell it and feels like it has some value, but I can't say, that's worth $X and you can sell it this way.

Its a 1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV. Car runs, but not well. I rebuilt the carb a few months ago (which is scary enough in itself) and it cranks and drives, but I've never moved it out of the driveway. Both windows were busted out years ago, I have new windows but have not installed them. Somewhere in its past someone duck taped a tarp over those windows, so there is some tape residue on the paint in a few places. Other than that the exterior is in pretty good shape, the interior is pretty nice. Is it showroom shiny? No, but its not a rotten bucket of parts either.

Here's a picture, the thing is a beast. It a "coupe" that is 1 inch shorter and 1 lb less than my extended cab Silverado...crazy.



What do you guys think? She doesn't want to scrap it, but wants it gone and would like to get whatever money out of it is possible.

Anybody looking for a zippy runaround?
