The Mark II Continental carried a price tag of nearly $10,000 which made it one of the most expensive road-going production vehicles of the time, and very exclusive. Accompanying the Mark II was an assortment of options including Scottish leather and fine broadcloth. Mounted under the hood was a overhead-valve V8 engine that displaced 368 cubic-inches and produced 285 horsepower. A Lincoln turbo-drive automatic transmission sent the power to the rear wheels.
This car spent many years in storage while in the Klein Kars collection. It has traveled 39,744 miles since new, and is a well preserved and original example. It has power steering, power brakes, power seat, radio and heater - which were standard at the time.
In 2007 this Mark II Hardtop was brought to the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, CA where it was estimated to sell for $40,000 - $70,000. It was offered without reserve. The estimates were proven accurate as the lot was sold for a high bid of $44,000 including buyer's premium. | |
