I’ll get this out of the way before the jokers decide to weigh in: It’ll buff right out. No, seriously, it’s gonna take more than elbow grease to get this 1958 Continental Mark III convertible for sale on Hemmings.com looking presentable again – more like a complete to-the-ground tear-down and an every-single-nut-and-bolt restoration – but while the convertible may not have much going for it in terms of condition, at least it remains more or less complete, so we can deduce that it wasn’t left out in a place where it could have been vandalized. From the seller’s description:
1 of only 3048 produced. This was a $6,283 car back in 1958 which would be over $60,000 in today’s dollars! you had to have money to drive a Contnental convertible back in 1958! powered by a 375 hp 430 cubic inch V-8
This car is a total restoration project! Last titled and parked since 1969! Has not run in years. It will need a complete restoration from headlight to tailight, but once restored will bring huge dollars. But before you can restore one, you need to find one
Study the photos they tell the story. This car will need a hood, the drivers door is rusted out on the bottom, the front floor pans are shot. I can not get into the trunk someone broke the lock out years ago. The frame looks solid from what I can see from the ground. The unique rear window is intact. The wheels are not the original wheels for the car. I do have the hubcaps and the skirts.
