Attached (hopefully) are some pictures of my MKII. The odometer reads 29,000 and after talking with some of its past owners my be correct but It does not matter either way I love the car.
Barry as requested I have posted a picture of the brake pedal, its dirty but you can see it. Is it 29,000 or 129,000?? The torn carpet is just an overlay rug the real carpets appear excellent
Also I got some books with the car one is the Continental story, and a technical ref book and master chassis and body book.
Also got a Owners Service Policy with little prerferated coupons for 2,000mi check ups.
The car drive great, its about to get a lot more miles put on this summer.

Congrats, you may have a 29,000 mile car! At 129,000 the lower right corner of the pedal would be worn away by a typical driver.

Congratulations. Your car looks terrific! I know you're going to love driving it as much as I love mine. (In fact I'm going to the storage and switch out the Mark IV for the Mark II in about 30 minutes).

Please give me your VIN so I can add it to the signature portion of your posts. The last VIN you mentioned was suppose to be a white car, or is this that car repainted?

Good Luck!

Martin,

Nice car! Try to make it to the Old Lyme Lions car show on Memorial Day. There'll be some Lincolns there. :)

Great looking car. Your car's color combo is the same as mine, black and red. Your vehicle has many less miles than mine. Congrats.

Looks great Martin! I also like the owner's service policy.

Martin - Congratulations. The car looks fantastic; may very well be the low mileage car as claimed. There must be some interesting story behind it--where it's been stored all these years? From your pictures, everything looks really good--even the steering wheel doesn't appear to be cracked. Is this the same car that had been reupholstered in vinyl? Seems strange that the car could look so good, but needed to have the seats replaced. Hope you can undercover the whole story of the car. Again, great buy.
