1963 Lincoln Continental Ca-car Black W/ Ferrari Red Interior Restored, 61 62 64 on 2040-cars

1963 Lincoln Continental

Up for auction is my beautiful 1963 Lincoln Continental. Perfect example of an original California rust-free classic that's never left the state. I am only the 3rd registered owner to the car and I purchased it from the original family here in Orange County (it still has the matching set of CA black plates). This Lincoln sat covered in a warehouse for almost 3 decades before being restored. All the chrome and stainless steel trim is original to the car and most of it has been re-chromed and polished. Nothing is missing on the car and everything looks just as it should.

The car had the engine and trans rebuilt back in 2008 and it now has about 20k miles since the rebuild. Runs on regular unleaded gas unlike the original engines that required leaded fuel for the softer internal metals. I just had the carb rebuilt last month, installed a new starter, fuel pump, plugs, wires, and changed all fluids. The car runs excellent and feels like you're riding on a cloud at any speed. It’s a big heavy car but has plenty of power with that big block 430 4v engine (320hp/465 lb-ft torque). Car is very reliable and starts on first key turn even if it’s been sitting for days. Engine bay is very clean and most of it has been painted or powdercoated. The suspension, power steering, and power brakes all work great and it drives with great ease for such a large car. No squeaks or rattles anywhere and the engine drives very quite as well. All 4 power windows and both vent windows work fine (had all 10 window switches rebuilt and rebuilt window motors), interior and exterior lights all work, wipers, turn signals, power antenna, gauges, ect. The A/C system is starting to blow cool air and not ice-cold like it use to so it’s due for a re-charge. The new red interior was all done last year which included front and rear seat upholstery with new seat foams, door panels, new wood trim, full carpet, seat belts, perforated headliner, dash detail, trunk area carpet and custom tire cover with embroidered Lincoln emblem ($5,000 interior invoice). Both front and rear 3 piece bumpers were triple chromed and look mint! Also rechromed door handles, emblems, interior chrome trim, and polished some of the stainless steal moldings, I spent over $3,000 on chrome alone. The car was painted a couple years ago with a nice two stage black paint job that still looks great. There's a couple minor paint imperfections from average use but nothing noticable. Car has all original sheet metal and it has never been in an accident. It's never had any rust issues or metal repairs done to it either. Original glass all around in excellent shape as well.  Newer BF Goodrich Silvertown tires with about 90% tread left.

Minor issues that need attention; needs new stereo speakers, power seat needs selector switch rebuilt, needs new door and vent window weatherstripping. Aside from that she’s good to go and can even be used as a daily driver.

This Lincoln turns heads and gets thumbs up wherever we drive it. If you don't like constant attention this car is not for you. I've got a clean CA title in hand with current registration under my name.
