Vehicle Description
Beautiful paint, a loaded A/C interior, and a powerful V8 heart
headline this classic. So the fact that it's on an iconic 1967
Lincoln Continental four-door convertible means this is rolling
opulence that will keep people talking long after you pull
away.
This classic has an amazing design, but that might not be what
first caught your eye. The red paint has a distinct look on a car
we're used to seeing in black or white. And while this is an
upgrade, it stays close to the factory Cranberry color. So it's a
vibrant style that still respects its history. A classic like this
needs the right brightwork, and Lincoln seemed to use it to make
some big statements. The front bumper shows off the authoritatively
wide end that wants to own the road. There's an accent line that
runs along the fender tops for the full length of the car to
showcase crisp lines. And the rear bumper is artfully integrated to
show off the clean upper-class style. The whole car has the look of
a well-respected classic that's ready to hit the road. You even
have classic-style whitewall tires with a more modern tread behind
them for a true cruiser.
The white convertible top has a distinctive style against the
bright red paint. And if you like the way this looks, then you'll
love taking it down to show off the full white interior. Wide
seating, plush carpeting, and plenty of legroom make this a true
executive-class drop-top. And while opening up all the doors on
this full-size luxury machine creates an iconic look, the one that
really matters is the driver's door. You can slip behind the
fashionable dual-spoke factory wheel, power adjust your seat, and
fold down the armrest for individual comfort. All the controls are
right at your fingertips. The full setup is distinctly vintage -
right down to the working courtesy lights - but you'll also notice
the right upgrade for a true cruiser. This car is meant to be
driven, and so you have features like an under-dash temp gauge, cup
holders, and touchscreen infotainment system with AM/FM/CD stereo,
Bluetooth, and navigation. But some of the best features are direct
from Lincoln. The full power windows package works from the
driver's door (including the vent windows,) and the power top
operates smoothly. So you can go from enclosed luxury to an
open-air experience without ever leaving the driver's seat. And the
factory air conditioning is still blowing nice and cold to keep you
comfortable even when top-down in the summer.
The sporty front-hinged hood gives a great view of the large 462
cubic-inch MEL V8. This is the correct powerplant for the
convertible, and the big blue valve covers and air grabber on top
let people know that you are keeping this cool cruiser quite
factory-correct. But you can also spot the right investment
everywhere from newer hoses to the Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor. The three-speed automatic transmission has the kind of
smooth action you want in a vintage car like this, and the
suspension just knows how to soak up bumps in the road - especially
with newer QA1 rear shocks. Power steering, power brakes, front
discs, and the rarely-seen cruise control make this a true
easy-going luxury driving machine.
This was the final year for the four-door convertible, and so this
is quite a significant classic. That's why the sale even comes with
original components like the top motor and carburetor. Rarely do
you get a chance at a classic that commands this much attention, so
don't miss your chance. Call today!!!
