I bought a 1978 Continental Mark V 75th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Edition and need some advice on what to do with it and where to do it. I'm told by one fabricator that it will cost around $100,000 to restore it. Initially, before I knew what I had, all I was going to do was paint it a deep purple over black and reupholster it. But, now that I know it has a 513 cu. in motor and all the luxury that was put into it, I'm not sure what to do with it, now. I don't have the money to restore it so I'm leaning to selling it to someone who could restore it. Where do I look for a buyer?

Had a few '95-'02 Continentals LOved them, one had air ride prob. but otherwise very cheap to maintian.

Cant help with the '78 try Craigs list.

My fav. was the Mark III '71-'72 and Mark 8 '97-'98.
