Vehicle Description
Cruising season is almost here. This lovely 1966 Lincoln
Continental convertible is ready for the weekend. This is a
southern rust free vehicle. The underside is exceptional. Classic
Lincolns can be tricky. These cars have a lot of quirks that make
then both loved and hated. Parts can be very difficult to find and
expensive for 61-67 Continental convertibles. The convertible top
condition and operation should always be your first question when
looking for a Continental convertible. Window operation is going to
be your next question. The long and flat sides of these cars can
also be a nightmare for an inexperienced body shop. Fortunately,
this Lincoln is standing pretty tall. The top is in excellent
condition and working exactly as it should. The previous owner had
the entire power top mechanism serviced by a well known specialist
within the last two years. All of the power windows are moving up
and down as they should. The rear window ""drop down"" feature is
functioning quickly and properly. The A/C, radio, and even the
eight track player are working as they should. The original 462
engine and automatic transmission are in perfect sync and operating
smoothly. The engine compartment is very tidy. The body of the car
is impressive. The underside shows no obvious signs of previous rot
or repair. The paint shows very nicely with no obvious blemishes.
The body is remarkably very straight. The fit of all panels is
excellent. All stainless is straight and free of dings. The chrome
bumpers appear to have original plating. The bumpers are not rusted
or damaged, however they are showing their age. If a prospective
buyer was trying to plan any future expenses, chrome bumpers
plating should be on the list. The interior is in good condition.
The seats have very little areas that show wear. The vinyl is soft
and shows well. The carpet is good with a few areas that are worn a
little thin. The wide whit wall tires are newer and in good
condition. The original wheels and hubcaps are in great shape.
Overall this car presents very well and has a lot of positive
attributes. It is clear that the previous owner spent their money
wisely by ensuring that all of the quirky Lincoln issues were
sorted. Please call Rich (260)704-0234 for additional information,
