Discontinued but certainly not forgotten, we’ve seen multiple nice, used examples of the Lincoln Continental pop up at various collector car auctions as of late - which is certainly good news for fans of the large and luxurious sedan. Now, we have yet another super nice example to add to this list - a 2000 Lincoln Continental with a mere 40k miles on the clock, which itself remains in extremely nice condition now, a quarter-century or so after it was sold new.
This 2000 Lincoln Continental is currently up for auction at Bring a Trailer, and as one imagine, it has also lived its entire life under the care of one owner, who resides in New York. It's finished in perfect Ivory Parchment Clearcoat paint, which is accented by a chrome grille, a sunroof, a keyless entry pad, heated side mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets. The luxurious sedan rolls on a set of 16-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels wrapped with Michelin tires, with four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes handling stopping duties.
Inside the cushy cabin, one will find Light Parchment leather covered seats, along with plenty of amenities such as power-adjustable front seats, a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control, to name just a few. Power comes from the naturally-aspirated Ford 4.6L V8, which in this guise was originally rated to produce 275 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque and is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.
We've certainly seen our fair share of Lincoln Continental models from this generation surface for sale with few miles on the clock recently, and that list only continues to grow. That bunch includes a 2001 Continental that had just 36k miles on the odometer when it was sold last spring, and a 2002 model with an even-lower mileage total of 16k popped up for sale just over a year ago, too.
