Vehicle Description
Looking to make an impact behind the wheel of a truly singular
ride? This 1966 Lincoln Continental Restomod has you covered and
then some! A merger of careful planning and skilled workmanship
have transformed it into an absolute attention magnet that also
happens to be equipped with a great array of well-chosen
aftermarket components to bring its drivability to a whole new
level.
By the time this '66 came out, the coveted Lincoln Continental had
been returned to its traditional, lengthy splendor, growing a full
five inches over just the previous year via an all-new body. When
you look at this classic from the side, you'll immediately notice
the amount of space separating the front and rear wheels, amplified
by its distinctively low stance. The customization that's been
applied here is equal parts creative and tasteful - this car looks
like no other in the best possible way and yet still retains plenty
of its original identity, which is a tough balance to strike. The
black paint draped over the exterior was only recently applied and
the job was done very well - it's got a consistently smooth, slick
finish and a nice shine that follows you as you circle the car.
Both the front and rear bumpers as well as the door handles and
trim were re-chromed, tinted glass surrounds the cabin and every
exterior fitting was recently polished, so the curb appeal of this
'66 is at its absolute zenith.
The black interior has been kept largely in its original
configuration and, while you can see signs of wear inside, both the
front and rear bench seats still offer their customary sofa-like
comfort and the door panels to each side are in surprisingly strong
condition. Just beyond the original steering wheel, the dash area
is also looking very good, with the speedometer sitting behind a
very clear lens, an unblemished brushed steel accent and a very
clean looking dash pad running across the top. You'll also find a
genuine 8-track stereo on board at the center - about as thoroughly
a '60s feature as they come. A Vintage Air climate control system
has also been seamlessly installed in the dash, so you and your
passengers will ride in comfort. The cavernous trunk appears to be
in good order and when you look inside, you'll see the air tanks
indicating that there's no ordinary suspension lurking below.
Plenty of modern, dependable power comes in the form of the fuel
injected LS2 6 liter V8 standing by under the hood. It's good for a
substantial 338 horsepower at the rear wheels and, like the 4L60E
transmission sitting just behind it that offers the convenience of
engine-sparing overdrive, is very fresh and has been professionally
installed. The stance and ride on this Lincoln offers
chameleon-like adaptability. A toggle switch positioned under the
dash controls the outstanding Accuair E-level suspension, which
includes 4-link systems in both front and back. Just like the
drivetrain, these components were also installed by people who know
what they're doing, so everything functions just as intended. The
power steering system has also been rebuilt, so the handling is
smooth and precise, while the power brakes sitting just inside the
set of show-stopping black Mobsteel wheels bring prompt and easy
stops.
Well-crafted customization over a vintage foundation combines with
a strong, dependable modern drivetrain and a top tier aftermarket
suspension to make this 1966 Lincoln Continental Restomod a ride
like no other. Call today!
