Yes would like info. I have either a 69 or 70. I'm sure it's a 70 lincoln continental mark iii 2 door, I have never built one before. I'm use to mid 70's mark v' is the mark iii worth building and how are they?

the 73 and newer lincs are much better then the 69-72 lincolns. i wouldnt waste my time with a 69-72 but if your just wanting fun go for it.

Clean 72 continental 4dr worth it for a stock gut and go show? Mainly gonna be 80’s Vic’s and maybe a few caddy’s/Chrysler’s.

Not a good chain and bang car in my opinion. Are you allowed bumper swaps, different bumper brackets, welding, etc?

Unless you were just wanting to go have fun and it was free, I would find a different car.

I’ll be building to Brandon dixion rules. First time building. If its your first build no way would I recommend a 65-72 Ford. Honestly for your first build I would recommend an 80s Ford product.

Frames are weaker than basically any of your competition, itll need bumper and brackets swapped on, most likely itll have a goofy rear end in it (not a 9", I forgot the name, but there are no parts available) just to name a few problems.
I've never ran one myself, but anytime I see one at a derby it's the first car I hit because they work well to set the rears of my car and I generally grenade them in a couple shots.

It’s going be my first derby. It’s just fair shows. So nothing huge. I done enduro derbies but wanna do the real thing.
