Crown Imperial Limo with provenance.
It’d need to be a big lottery win, couple scratcher’s wouldn’t do it.

If I hit the lottery I’d get driven around in this.

That thing is gorgeous. I'd do the same.
Well, technically this would be the car I'd have my friends driven around since it's not a presidential limo. I do believe it's probaby a legit second-tier White House car. It would've been part of the carpool, used for visiting dignitaries and officials of lower importance. It's a "fetcher", for lack of a better term: "Go fetch the Speaker of the House." It's place in second- or third-tier use is evidenced by the photos. Important details like bulletproof glass, flag stands, and agent platforms at the back aren't mentioned. The DC permit would be impossible to fake, but the devil's advocate in me says that only provenances the windshield. It's a tough ask, though, since they're selling it on history they don't appear able to prove. "Ownership documents" and photos don't really do it here; you'd need a copy of the lease agreement to the Secret Service with the VIN, since it's likely that Chrysler leased more than one of these cars. Chrysler didn't "loan" it; if they did the Camp David photo would show a MI manufacturer plate. It's lack of proximity to the building further shows it's a non-POTUS ride.
One thing that worries me is the "recently added" pinstripe. Was that done to match the historical photos? A garage-kept 15,000-mile car should have perfect original pinstripes. Still, assuming it's a legit Secret Service ride and not the World's Luckiest Windshield Swap, it's doubtful LBJ ever sat in it. Jackie rode in lots of cars, but that doesn't make them quarter-mil-plus rides.
It might be a six-figure car, but only just, based primarily on its 1-of-10 panache as a Ghia coachwork limo. An enthusiast doesn't want it, a JFK buff doesn't want it and apparently no museums want it either.
Not sure why they included this photo of the Continental, but it clearly shows flags and agent platforms of a POTUS limo that are not present on the car for sale:

I’m thinking they’re alleging the sale car is the one waaaaaay in the back of that photo.
A nice ride but I’m not sold on the valuation of it.
