1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars

If you are looking for a gorgeous,rare and unique collector Lincoln convertible this is it with it's new Teal paint and new leather Aqua/White interior. This is 1 of only 9 built that had this combination of Teal paint exterior and Aqua interior which is very striking and beautiful. We've had so many people mention how much they love the color.This car is also loaded with options including the rare one year only option of power passenger headrest and reclining seat (see picture)...very cool! It also has the Town & Country AM/FM radio with the floor foot pedal for station seek. Another fun and cool feature that everyone loves which was not an original option is the period correct Sears CB Radio that actually works which is mounted in the front center (see picture). This is where the optional 8 Track mounts but was removed to accommodate the CB. I have the original 8 track with some tapes that go with the car(see picture). The detailed information on this car came from the Marti Report which I purchased. This is a report from actual Ford records that will come with the car (see picture) and goes into production detail. It also says it was sold on New Year's 1966.

 Below is a list of some of the options:

• Automatic Temperature Control System
• AM/FM Signal-Seeking Radio with Power Antenna 
• Stereo-Sonic 8 Track Stereo System* (separate unit)
• Tilt Steering Wheel                                                                                                                                                                      
• Automatic Headlamp Dimmer
• Limited Slip Differential                                                                                                                              
• Automatic Speed Control                                                                                                                                         
• Six-Way Power Seat        
• Six-Way Power Seat with Passenger Recliner*                                                                                                                                                                                                                
•   Speed-Actuated Power Door Locks                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
• Power Vent Windows                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
• Tinted Glass                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
• Door Edge Guards

There is also chrome side molding that I was told was a rare dealer option.

Below is a list of some of the thousands of $ of work that has been done to make this a reliable driving and fun collectible. Almost all of this work within the last year.

• Gas tank was pulled and professionally cleaned, stripped and coated to ensure no issues.
• New sending unit
• Brakes were redone including new hoses and master cylinder,wheel cylinders and shoes.
• Replaced timing chain and gears. (If you buy one of these Lincolns this is one of the most important things to have done as the old nylon gears can break and cause engine failure.)
• New front seal
• New water pump
• All new ignition parts...plugs, wires , points, etc.
• New hoses and belts
• Carburetor rebuilt
• New safety neutral switch
• New convertible top
• New convertible top motor
• New hydraulic lines
• New convertible deck lid cylinders
• Had all window switches repaired.
• Automatic rear window drop down is now working on both sides ( this was very time consuming and expensive to fix which is why they don't work on most of these Lincoln convertibles.
• Period correct wide whitewall tires.
• New paint
• New leather interior
• Many other misc. parts

This beauty starts right up and runs great. Transmission works properly as do the brakes. The top goes through all of it's functions properly and both the inside top switch and outside rear top switch will operate the new top up and down. All of the windows work. I also had the rear window drop-down function fixed on both sides. This function actuates when either of the rear doors are opened and is important to the top, doors and windows working correctly. I have video of the rear windows properly dropping down as well as video of the top working which is on you tube but not allowed on ebay. Please let me know if you would like to see them. Mileage says around 40,000. but I cannot verify if accurate or not.

Another extremely important consideration in purchasing a 60s Lincoln convertible is whether or not it has any rust. Most I looked at did in fact have several areas of rust which is extremely expensive to fix. This however is a clean Florida car. Look at the pictures showing the entire bottom of the car...solid...solid...solid!

Again just about everything works on this car. There is a crack in the dash by the speaker which is true of most of these. The chrome is driver quality and the stainless trim in good condition. Most of the rubber is decent and have new trunk seal and bumper to body seal that go with the car. I would rate this car as a higher end driver but has additional added value with it's special uniqueness and the fact that it is loaded with almost every option available. This one is a real attention getter with people wanting to take pictures constantly.

The value of this car is estimated  around the  $30,000. range according to a Lincoln expert that looked at it for me. My reserve is very much lower than that as I need to sell at this time.

The 1967 was the last year for the convertible Lincoln and  the 67's of which only a little over 2,700 were built has led to these jumping in value over the last few years according to the Haggerty Report and others.. These have a lot more options than earlier models and the preferable glass rear window.  Also included is an original color sales brochure, original owners manual and shop manual (see picture) and the original build sheet that was behind the back seat (see picture).

*Please feel free to email with questions and to setup an inspection of the car. Inspections must take place before bidding not after. If you do not personally inspect the car or have someone inspect it on your behalf then you must agree to positive feedback. I say this because although I try to disclose everything to my knowledge concerning condition of the car my opinion may differ from yours on certain issues. If you do not perform due diligence on this or any other vehicle then it would be totally unfair for you to leave negative feedback and ruin my rating because you disagree with something you should have been aware of before your purchase by having it inspected to your satisfaction or not. If you are a serious bidder I will send you my phone number to answer any other questions you may have.

I have the right to cancel any bids with fewer than 10 feedback's. If you do please contact me so I can do my best to determine if you are a serious bidder. Upon meeting the reserve, bidders must contact me by message or phone and demonstrate a serious intent to purchase. If I don't hear from you within a 12 hour period from your bid then I reserve the right to cancel your bid. Please do not bid at all unless you are a serious buyer with the wherewithal to complete the deal. All sales are final. The vehicle is sold as is, where is!

Car is advertised locally and I reserve the right to close auction down at any time. This car will not be released until all funds are cleared. Deposits are not refundable.
