I just bought a 73 Lincoln Continental Mk IV site unseen about 2 months ago. Got it from a really good friend of mine, so I trusted him. Was his dad's car and it sat for about 2 years after his dad passed away. He told me to tow it but I'm stubborn. The hour drive on the freeway back home on the maiden voyage was sketchy with the tires and not knowing how the suspension was. It's a miracle it made it home, but slowly getting it road worthy again.

Maybe I'm showing what I don't know, but shouldn't there be a shroud around the cooling fan?

You didn't mention the steering wheel being off center when going straight. That is one of the things that bothers me a lot.

I consider something like that relatively minor. Something to be addressed after it has a fresh set of tires and the front end height raised to its normal position

Super educational as usual. I realize you didn't want to mention how much the car was selling for, but how much is a car like that worth? I had a number in my mind and am curious how close I am on it.

Lol. Rutherford County Tennessee. I'm guessing this is near Murfreesboro. I may have seen this car at one point as I used to go to Murfreesboro a lot. Small world.

The real question is did you buy it? Seems like a solid car

No, but if I was in the market for one, I would have grabbed it
