This 1968 Lincoln Continental Barn Find Has Truly Survived the Test of Time – autoevolution

Surviving the test of time is what all cars abandoned in barns are struggling to do, but as we all know already, only some actually manage to win the battle with age, rust, mold, and very often mice.

The fourth owner, who is now selling the car in an eBay auction, claims its still running well but it needs brake repairs as theres likely a leak that causes the pedal to go to the floor.

Theres obviously some rust here and there, and the tires need to be replaced, but theres nothing that the new owner cant fix. A closer look at these photos shows that the leather top is also peeling, and some upholstery work is required, but the owner says some new parts have already been installed.

The car has a new 1000 CCA battery, ignition coil, sparkplugs, points/condenser, and a couple other various small things to get it running well. It had not been running for many years prior to me getting it going, they say in the eBay listing.

I removed the dingy and mouse urine soaks trunk pad and backing to expose a completely rust free truck. Door frames, rocker panels and most of the body panels appear nice and straight. Carpet is decent without a ton of wear due to a lack of use, but the seat covers are shot.

This Continental comes with a 7.5-liter V8 engine and has 52,971 miles (82,248 km) on the clock, and the seller says they have been able to verify the mileage with the previous owners.

At the time of writing, the highest bid is $3,500, so theres a chance this 69 Lincoln Continental could find a new owner at a really surprising price.
