The vehicle was described to us as being a original mile vehicle, and based off of the red cardboard tag in picture 151, the original engine, as well as other all original parts, we are in the firm belief that this vehicle is indeed an 857 mile original vehicle. \r\n2. The A/C Compressor engages and blows Cool air, however we do not believe the air to be cold. Our Shop Foreman determined that it is indeed low on freon. We did not recharge the freon on the vehicle because we don't have the equipment compatible with the R12 system needed for this Continental. We would be glad to find a shop local in our area who has the equipment and facilitate it for the buyer. \r\n\r\n3. I have mentioned it a couple of times because of the amazing condition of this ride, but we very well believe this 857 mile beauty of a Continental has original miles! \r\n\r\nAlso, @jwcunningham65 and DinoJohn, please see the attached Repair order of work that was done on this Continental prior to listing on BaT.\r\n\r\nThanks all and keep the questions coming, I'll gladly answer any question to the best of my ability!
