Lincoln Continental Mark III w/ Factory Sunroof

1971 Lincoln Continental Description

Feb 3, 2017- I am getting swamped with requests for alternative payments, lowering the price, random ponderings . . . I already had a delay with someone who did an earlybuy it now and then strung me along forsix daysclaiming they had wire transferred me the money; they were not truthful, eventually backing out.

Please bid wisely and if you cannot afford it, don't bid. If you have less than 10 feedback (all positive) do not bid, this is warned about in the shipping and payments tab.

Look into shipping costs and time framesNOW before bidding. I am located less than one minute off of Interstate 8, which is full of car carriers all the time traveling between San Diego and Phoenix and beyond. It will cost you more for quick shipping and less for a longer time frame. Investigate shipping NOW before bidding.Sometimes it can be expensive.

I will store the car inmy locked garage as long as needed. Before you bid, make sure you have the money. I expect payment upon close of auction in full. Any questions- (besides lowering the price before end of auction which I will not do) ask now. Please do not ask for more info or delays after the auction- ask now. Thanks for your consideration.
