Me and my girlfriend went for a walk around the back of her place and we walked past the Rusty Spoke Saloon which normally has a lot of big classics in their yard (a Cadillac, old F-Series, early Jeeps, a few army vehicles and this Lincoln)
I've always admired their collection but this time their 78 Lincoln Continental was parked outside with a for sale sticker on!
I went and spoke to the owner and he said it's up at $9,500. It was in excellent shape and there was hardly any rust on the thing and the interior was clean.
If I can get the price down a bit, say $8k, I'm seriously considering buying it as a little project and weekend car for the future! Yes its 4 miles long, weighs 19 tons and it has a 460 V8 that drinks like a Russian but it will be driven minimally. Plus I'd probably be the only 21 year old to own one but it's my dream to own an American classic! I'm super passionate about these things and would treat it like a baby and polish it every day!
If anyone has any experience with these cars is there anything I should pay special attention to when I next go look at it? Anything to look out for?
Cheers
