Muscle Car..... Pondering a Purchase

[SoxHop]

If you're thinking big classics, consider a Lincoln Continental.
The suicide doors are a unique feature!

I tell ya....... those things are incredible. After moving down here and going to that show...................... the continental with the suicide doors was what I wanted at first.....

those are just super cool cars.....................

wonder how much a '65 lincoln continental can be had for? love that car. suicide doors. i believe that is the car they used in the Matrix.

SoxnCycles nailed it with the 20 grand mark. A couple years ago I spoke with a guy that owned one. It was really well taken care of. He said it was worth 20 grand.......

They also use a Continental in the show Entourage..

Here's a Deville that came up near me on craigslist.....

A couple of nice old caddys!

Another thing to consider is paint and body work.
If you can find a car with a solid body and decent paint (shouldn't be too difficult, you not living in the rust belt), you'll be ahead of the game.

Rebuilding a motor is easier for a backyard mechanic than painting and body work.
Both can be expensive to have done professionally.

Both caddies look to be in good shape!
