Vehicle Description
Yes, you are reading this correctly... This 1963 Lincoln
Continental sedan has averaged far less than 500 miles annually
over its lifetime. In fact, the deeper you dig on this hardtop,
you're going to find plenty of surviving elements like the paint,
interior, and the original 430 V8. So it's amazing you can get such
a nicely preserved icon for such an affordable price.
Back when new, these Continentals were the way to announce you were
the big shot. The extra-long hood, hardtop sedan profile, and
iconic suicide doors were part of one of the most artful packages
for the road ever created. That's why the car is still so imposing
today. But what's really impressive is that this Lincoln retains
nearly 80% of its original Ermine White paint even long after it
has passed the half-century mark. It tells you that the owners have
been extra careful preserving this gem. And you can see it in the
details where the slab sides give way to chrome accent lines that
run the length of the car. The rest of the brightwork is just as
well preserved with those big bumpers, wide horizontal grille, and
original slotted hubcaps all shining like mirrors. That's why this
Continental is still for big shots today.
The two-tone black and white leather give this interior the feeling
like you're arriving in a tuxedo. Just like the exterior, this is
believed to be mostly original, which makes this an amazing
survivor. And while some materials do show a little age, the
ultra-low mileage means there was little time to wear anything out.
You get the original wood and chrome premium steering wheel that
matches so nicely with the other accents around the car. And beyond
that is the full gauge package that is a true work of art. Buying a
Lincoln meant all the best features, and this survivor still
presents those so nicely today. It includes power seats, power
locks, and the factory AM radio. And we know you'll love using the
power windows to take down all the glass without ever having to
leave the driver's seat. And since the air conditioning had its
vacuum controls recently serviced and is still blowing cold, you
can do it all year long!
The sporty clamshell hood gives a great view of the large 430
cubic-inch MEL V8. On a car this nicely preserved so far, you'll be
quite happy to know it is the original powerplant. And everyone
knows this is a true survivor with the big black air cleaner on top
signaling that you are keeping this cool cruiser quite original.
There's plenty of power, and the dual exhaust even lets out a
muscular howl when you really want to get moving. But this Lincoln
will never betray its easy-going luxurious nature. The three-speed
automatic transmission makes for a fantastic highway cruiser. The
suspension soaks up bumps without rattling the body, and thanks to
that long wheelbase, the ride is effortlessly smooth. Power brakes
with discs up front, new tires, and power steering make this a true
go-anywhere luxury driving machine.
This Lincoln has been respected from day one, which makes for a
stellar icon today. It's now looking for a new caretaker to carry
the torch. Will it be you? Call today!!!
