Just spoke to the guy selling it...
Its 1966 Lincoln Continental, Hard top - 4door- 462 Engine.- 53,000 Miles- needs a starter to get running, and probably $200-$300 in parts for it to pass a 'safety inspection'
Pretty sure i'd offer the guy under $3000 at this point.
He will be emailing me pictures of it this weekend.

That's a personal call on if you feel it's worth it to you or not. Personally, I wouldn't pay 3k for a post 64 that is not currently running and driveable.
Nada is crap for any older cars value. Ultimately the individual looking to buy the car dictates the value. Look at the fools at Barret Jackson, people with money out the ass driving the value up on cars, until nobody is able to sell thiers because the average guy isn't willing to pay assenine prices. On the other side, I picked up a 64 Mercury Comet, 17,xxx original miles, all paperwork including trade in papers (traded in a 32 Ford coupe for $200 value), gas records, etc. for $600. It needed a battery and a tune up.

Down here that kind of money should get you a VERY clean 65-67. But those cars rust even here in California, so I can imagine how hard they are to find in decent shape up in Canada.
If the car is solid and the engine is strong, then around $3k is probably about right.
But if the motor needs more work than just that starter, get ready to spend! Dan had a '66 that needed the heads rebuilt and a new water pump, and the parts were ridiculous! Just make sure you don't get into somebody else's nightmare.
Good luck! I miss my '66 every time I see one!

im gonna probably end up low balling the guy if I decide im gonna go for it.
Its pretty much my dream car, so its really damn tempting! and its not like old cars are getting easier to find.

only negative i'd say about the car is the red interior, sounds and looks like a fair price.
