Just in!! PENDING SALE!! This is a very well done mild resto-custom
of a fully restored 1941 Lincoln Continental Convertible. Imagine,
the only changes were the installation of a crate 350 cu in Chevy
engine, conversion of the electrical system to 12-volts and a power
brake unit. The transmission, overdrive, clutch, brakes and the
rest of the drive train and suspension are all stock. The steering
and shifting feels rock-solid and well engineered. And
cosmetically, most concours would love to have this on their field
(except the engine change, etc.). Featured in a beautifully
prepared black livery with a correct power black Haartz cloth
convertible top with red piping, this has the right look. The
chrome is gorgeous and the new wide white wall radials set it off!
Nearly everything about this car would fool most collectors as
being totally stock. The owner has been asked by the CCCA to show
the car at their events! The red leather is of high quality and
correct for the car. There has been tastefully installed an Alpine
stereo and CD changer in the dashboard. We think this would be the
ultimate classic to drive to work on Fridays and enjoy over the
weekend. It is incredibly easy to drive and feels like a classic in
every way, except the throaty burble from the exhaust. It has
benefited from the installation of modern oil pressure and
temperature gauges and uses the original voltage and fuel gauges.
The previous owner enjoyed the Lincoln for at least 20 years, and
was likely the person responsible for the beautiful restoration.
Unfortunately, we don't know the detailed history for the car, as
it was purchased at an auction a couple of years ago. But we can
see the quality of the restoration. It would make sense that this
was a full correct restoration and we bet the very temperamental
original V12 engine failed and the owner decided to make it
dependable with the installation of the 350 V8. Nothing else makes
sense. For more details or to arrange a video inspection, call or
