1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible, Brand new paint and new interior. I have driven this car less than 100 miles since the restoration of this car, I just got it back from the paint shop and I just got the seats reupholstered less than one month ago too. brand new convertible top also.
History of this car. I purchased this car about two years ago, and have been working on her for the last two years. It had been sitting since 1982, Yes 1982 was the last time it was driven before I woke her up and started fixing her up. It has the original drive train in her, I am pretty sure it is a virgin motor that has never been rebuilt. It has always been a California car. NEVER had any rust rot, very solid car, never any major accident. This is the solid California car everybody wants. I have a done a once over on the mechanics of the car and I have replaced all parts that I noticed needed immediate attention. Many parts are still original. This car has a very smooth ride and demands respect and attention as she goes down the road. I have not had the opportunity to drive it much since I finished putting her back together.If you live in California and want the original black license plates let me know.
The following parts are new (new means no more than two years old and currently less than 100 mile on part)Water pump, Fuel pump, most coolant and fuel hoses, Battery, points condensor cap and rotor spark plugs and spark plug wires, vacuum advance, fuel tank sending unit. The brakes I replaced the master cylinder, front rubber brake lines and the proportioning valve. new tires too.
Paint and BodyThe paint job is less than 60 days old. It is a black Lincoln color. It is a base coat/clear coat paint. It has three coats of black paint and three coats of clear on her. I do have pics of the body before she was painted, and I could email or text the pics if you need to see the prep work. All chrome is original. All glass is original. no cracks or breaks.
Interior New canvas top, New carpet, and both seats have been reupholstered. The door panels are original
Power top goes up and down as it shouldAll gauges work as they should.All headlights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, horn work as they shouldThe clock even works (it does need the time adjusted once a week or so)Sometimes the power antenna works, but original radio looks great but does not work.Power seat works all directions as it should.The heater works. The Factory A/C is 100% there, but does not currently blow cold. I recommend converting it to 134a freon.
Only 3300 Convertibles where made in 1965. I was told that less than 550 1965 convertible Lincolns are currently registered in the entire USA. This is a pretty rare car. Most Lincoln gurus agree 1965 is the best year for Lincoln. They made convertible suicide door Lincolns from 1961 thru 1967. 1965 is the best year because it is the first year of front disk brake, it had a stretched back seat area so rear passengers had more than enough leg room. It has the the one year only elegant grill, one year only tail lights and front turn signal. 1961-63 did not have enough rear leg room, and 1966-67 are kinda funky. 1964 is the second best year for Lincolns. If you are going buy a Lincoln why not buy the best year?
For $32, 000 I will pay for shipping to your house if you live in the 48 statesI would prefer cash in person. I will take a check, but car can not leave my house until my bank tells me check has cleared.
Look at my perfect feedback and buy with confidence.All questions are welcome, I prefer verbal old school phone calls, but email and text is ok too.Danny 916 508 1306
