Vehicle Description
This 1953 Lincoln Capri Convertible received a ground-up
restoration in 2016 and is powered by a 317ci V8 4V engine. The
fuel and brake systems have been completely rebuilt, as has the
4-speed automatic Hydra-Matic transmission. The original radio has
been fitted with modern AM/FM technology and the power vacuum
antenna has been rebuilt and works nicely. It has had a recent new
interior installed and all of the chrome has been replated and the
car received new basecoat / clear coat paint. Power windows, and
steering have also been rebuilt and the power top works great with
its new dark blue Haartz Stay-Fast canvas fabric. The restoration
on this Capri included detailing the engine compartment, a
transmission rebuild, complete brake system rebuild with DOT-5
silicone fluid, master cylinder, booster and wheel cylinders with
new brake lines, and a rebuilt fuel system including tank,
carburetor, fuel pump and lines. It also included all-new
weatherstripping throughout, complete new interior including the
door panels, seats and carpet, new trunk interior with original
jack and a new spare tires, a new dark blue Stay-Fast soft-top,
five new period-correct wide whitewall tires, a new exhaust, and
new chrome throughout. A battery disconnect switch was installed
under the right dash and the original radio was converted to
AM/FM/MPC digital with the original vacuum power antenna. This
beautiful Lincoln runs, drives, and stops well.
