This is a car that makes a statement! Very desirable 4 door
convertible in the most desirable color- black! There were no other
4 door convertibles being produced and it's very unique that they
open from a center pillar. Then of course the retractable
convertible top is unique.
EXTERIOR: The body shows very well. Completely repainted black. The
majority of the chrome was replated. The retractable convertible
top was upgraded to black cloth, and it is functioning properly. It
is sitting cool on a set 22 inch Cabo wheels with performance Kumho
tires.
INTERIOR: Professionally reupholstered seats and door panels about
10 years ago. The chrome, woodgrain trim and instrument area is
very clean There are some cracks in the dash pad, steering wheel is
mint. Power seat is not functional.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 430-300 hp motor was rebuilt by previous
owner. Upgraded electric fan. It has power steering and brakes.
Overall, it looks clean and proper.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The lid opens with the power top switch. The
convertible stores in here and still leaves some trunk space. The
convertible top system was completely rebuilt in 2009 including a
heavy duty pump, 4 new rams, lines and solenoids.
UNDERSIDE: The suspension components were replaced, upgraded with
air shocks in back. Steering was rebuilt with new links, tie rods,
ball joints and bushings. Complete exhaust system with crossover
pipe, new mufflers, and resonators. The brakes were replaced.
Looking up at the motor and trans they are both very fresh, rebuilt
by previous owner less than 3,000 miles ago. The floors have been
repaired.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and fixed the fuel gauge and power
door locks, adjusted top switches and replaced some window seals,
the brake booster, mufflers and visors.
Full disclosure: The previous owner literally advertised this car
as "fully restored in perfect condition". It's not perfect, it's a
good example. Auction results report the 1962 Continental has sold
on average for $81,290 and that includes hardtops. One very
recently sold for $715,000! This is a very desirable, impressive
car that is priced fair. Someone will love feeling like a Boss
driving this Continental!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
