A LOT! Of $
was recently invested in this super cool ride. Following is a detailed description of the car and items done to it in the Past Year.
Interior:
We just had ALL windows on the car completely professionally serviced by a
LINCOLN SPECIALIST and they work great from ALL switches.
1. All window regulators were cleaned/ lubricated.2. Windows were All adjusted.3. Switches were ALL cleaned and or replaced.4. Rear windows drop automatically when rear door is opened! Just like from the Factory.
Factory Color CODE 84 Emberglo ORIGINAL Seats
... We just had a Professional Interior Shop Custom make All New
LEATHER
for the Original Seats. This is
leather
and not cheap vinyl. Very expensive and took 5 months but worth it. New padding etc. Basically Brand new seats top to bottom. Rear seat bottom is factory original leather.
-Complete Rebuild on Power Seat Motor. Works Great!-Arm rests were also done by shop in All new Original material.-Door panels are in great shape-Dashboard is in
PERFECT SHAPE
(see Photo)
NO CRACKS
like
MOST.
-Steering Wheel is Perfect.
NO SEPARATION CRACKS
like most. Look closely at most all other 66/67 Lincolns for sale. Every steering wheel has separated spots and Dash boards are usually cracked by speaker grill.
This California Car was not out baking in sun its whole life.
Carpet is Original & still very Plush. Looks great !
Trunk
LOOKS
Great inside. Again, most Lincoln convertibles listed for sale the sellers hide the inside of the trunk as they are usually in bad shape with rust on the top down boot or hydraulic fluid soaked dirty carpets and paint over spray on All wire harnesses etc. This one is in great shape. Like
NEW
.
Basically interior on car is very near to factory new condition and needs nothing. I only say “near” because it is a 40+ year old car.
Exterior:
The paint on the car is in great shape. The car was re-painted in its original VERY RARE (RUSSET Metallic/Emberglo)
V Code
. Plenty of clear coat on the car to shine. Looks Amazing. Very Rare color combo for this convertible. Car has no rust on it and underneath is very dry and solid. (See Photos)No issues at all.
Under Carriage Looks factory new. Still has its Original Factory Undercoat spray to keep the car Quite and Also Areas where you can still see the Red River . The Red River was a part of the Assembly line process where the car was dipped into a river of orange red primer sealer to keep car from rusting. Very Clean. No Rust At ALL! (SEE PHOTOS)
Note :
For the new Owner, there is a small amount of the original paint color used on the car that will come with it in case anything needs touched up in the future on the car.
Chrome on Front and Rear Bumpers is in good shape. Rated at driver+ quality. Nice shine.All Stainless trim on car is in very nice shape
Engine:
Original V8 462 CU
This car starts up easily and runs very strong. Motor sounds great and has plenty of power. Transmission shifts smoothly into all gears and floats down the road. Power steering works great. Can steer car with one finger. A pleasure to drive!

Note:
This car has been driven ONLY about 25 miles since being removed from private collection. Drives like a dream with no known issues other than constant THUMBS up from on lookers but should REALLY be looked at by your mechanic before taking on any long trips. Check belts, hoses, etc just to be safe.
Tires are Brand New.
CURRENT TIRES ARE BRAND NEW COKER WIDE WHITES PERIOD ORIGINAL TIRES.
CONVERTIBLE TOP:
PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING ONE OF THESE LINCOLNS. .THE TOP!!!!
VERY VERY Important item on one of these cars is the hydraulic top functions. This car has just been fully serviced for its Top Functions. EVERYTHING was gone through including EVERY Relay, ALL pumps, EVERY LIMIT SWITCH etc. at a cost of over $5000 which did include the power window servicing as well. Any one that knows these cars, knows that it is VITAL to buy one already serviced for its top and windows!! They are not cheap to have fully serviced but once this is complete they will work and last for another 40 years. This service was just completed last week. After that we took it to have a brand new original style pin point vinyl top installed which was an additional $2200 from upholstery shop. Total bill for Window service, top replacement and Service was
$10k!
Everything operates just as it did from the factory. Top can be raised and lowered with ease FROM INSIDE THE CAR OR OUTSIDE BY GAS TANK SWITCH, and it is quite the site to see!!!
NOTE:
IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LINCOLNS OF THIS ERA, THEY HAD A KEYED SWITCH BY GAS TANK TO OPEN TRUNK
. This works too.
SUMMARY…
All the EXPENSIVE & hard work/RESTORATION is done on this car(
at the tune of over $30k
). No disappointments here. Email me today to get this one before its too late!!!
Buy today and be cruising tomorrow!
I have tried to be very detailed and describe all I know about car.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CAR IS OVER 40 YEARS OLD AND ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN RESTORED, IT IS 40+ years OLD WILL ALWAYS NEED SOMETHING FROM TIME TO TIME BECAUSE IT IS NOT NEW.
