Could This 1966 Continental 4X4 Pull $9,000?
Could This 1966 Continental 4X4 Pull $9,000?-January 2024

The seller of today' candidate describes it as alternatively a Continental masquerading as a Ford F250, or vice-versa. You ned to determine if its price isn't some sort of bamboozling switcheroo.

Some of you lamented that yesterday's (Good ol' #934) belonged in a museum, one of you went so far as to bring Indiana Jones in to emphasize the point! Museum worthy or not, 71% of you felt it wasn't worth its asking price. Of course, if it truly does belong in a museum, I'd just like to point out that Indy never actually paid for his museum artifacts. I'm just saying.

There have been Saabs numbered 99 and 900, but today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Swede is…

Enough with the fancy pants museum displays, today I'd like to introduce you to my red neck friend. The seller of positions the car as either an F250 4x4 that looks like a 1966 Lincoln Continental high boy, or a Connie providing witness protection services for an F250.

No matter what you end up with on the title at the DMV (hint, it's an F250) one thing that's certain is that the hydraulic dump bed in the back is an inspired touch. The rest of the body seems straight and the diamond plate added to the rockers offers a nice contrast to the vinyl roof. Plus, suicide doors!

Power for this chimeric beast comes from a romper-stomper 460 V8 meaning that it's owner is likely to get mash notes from OPEC leaders, and looks of horror from lefty Prius drivers.

That 385-series V8 only put out about 230-bhp back in the day, but also gobs of torque. Gearbox duties are handled by what's likely to be a C6 3-speed auto, and that gets a Hurst shifter sitting between what look to be a pair of leather seats out of a Chevy Tahoe or the like.

The seller notes in the ad that the A/C accumulator has gone bad so no cold for you. He also claims that he 'built the truck right' and aside from the A/C that it 'runs great and handles better then most new trucks.' It kind of makes you wonder what exactly is his concept of new.

Vehicles described as one of a kind often are so due to the inherent limit of their general appeal. That's not the case with this one of a kind however, as who wouldn't love to show up at the Piggly Wiggly in this bad boy?

Nice large is the drive-off and don't bother BS'ing the seller because he HATES that and will hang up on you, even over email or the Twitter. We'll be straight with him and it's now time for you to decide if this F250-inental is worth his $9,000 asking. What do you think, is this amazing custom worth that kind of cash? Or, is this a Connie that's a Lin-con job?

You decide!

Boston , or go if the ad disappears.

At $6,500, Would You Side With This Side Pipe-Sporting 1979 Chevy Corvette?
You probably can’t afford a side chick or bro, but you could potentially swing the asking for today’s Corvette which has something even better—side pipes! Let’s see if its price is on your side.

At $9,500, Might This Small Block-Powered 1983 Porsche 944 Really Be a Big Deal?
At $9,500, Might This Small Block-Powered 1983 Porsche 944 Really Be a Big Deal?
One complaint that could be leveled at Porsche’s 944 is that it never had enough pushrods and rocker arms. Today’s ’83 addresses that dearth with an SBC. Let’s see if its price needs addressing too. I once had a boss whose mantra was ‘No bad news on Friday.’ His line...

Back in the late 1940s, Ford of Canada decided to invent a new automobile company name for rebadged Mercury cars. That name was Monarch, and it died twice. First, with the introduction of Edsel, FoC killed the Monarch name, but brought it back when Edsel was a flop. Then, it...

The 2019 Subaru Forester Looks Tougher and Rides Better, but Is Desperate for Power
It may not look too different, but the is all-new, with better handling, reduced road noise, an impressive amount of standard features and an almost ironically-named new Sport trim that altogether almost make up for its desperately slow acceleration. But there’s still plenty on offer if you’re okay with not...
