1963 Lincoln Continental Cobra Jet 460 on 2040-cars

 1963 lincoln continental make offer - $8000 (tarzana)




Make an offer on this one of a kind (kind of, not really) never before seen (im sure they made a lot of them but they are rather rare) super machine of awesomeness. ok that last part is true but do keep in mind this is not a stock car. this is a hot rod Lincoln. this car is still one of the most sought after tuna boat hot rods in film, tv, and daily life. They have used this very model in films from the Matrix to popular HBO shows. you will impress many people with this car.

why am I selling it? honestly I rather wouldn't. I would rather take my time and love on the thing daily until kick the bucket but I also would like to move to another state with the rest of my toys and I do not want to haul this car across country.

yes it drives, very well when it is not leaking. please see below for details but again I cannot stress enough this is a simple repair that will make this car a dependable daily if you don't mind the gas.

the gas, this is a racing motor with a small rv cam ( I have the spec sheet, don't ask me now I will not get up from my comfy couch to go look at it, you understand), this was not done by me. however the car likes 97+ octane fuel and with the high compression will knock a bit with straight pump gas. it will run all day long but you must remember this motor is rated at over 500hp.

lets see, some history.
Kennedy bought a 61 Lincoln but had a grill from a 63 installed because he liked it better.
Brad Pitt once rode in this car (sure it was merely his face on a dvd box but it counts).
Al Bundy, Ted Bundy's older brother, lost his virginity in this car and gifted it to his mother in law who started a tv show based on the dysfunctional family exploits of her now estranged son in law.
Aliens from Pleiades have personally converted 6 people to a very popular religion while riding in the back seat of this car, two of which reside in NOHO and one is starting a band. They would like to use this car in an upcoming music video so I hope you like hip hop.
the current pope is on record saying that his next car will be this car, so I hope you buy it first because I don't want to ship this to Italy.

negatives.

the end seals under the intake manifold need to be replaced so the oil is leaking past. I had paid a friend to clean up the intake and reinstall it because I hurt my arm and could not, he did not do a great job. I have the new gaskets but would rather not spend the time or effort. this is a 2-3 hour job for a hobbyist, much less for a professional. we can discuss this in the price but I know how much this job costs to fix so its not that big of an issue.
has some body rust at quarter panels behnd the tire. has some minor dents. previous owner cut a hole in the hood for air cleaner. seats need recovering. back seat burnt. passenger door front right and rear driver windows do not roll down every time. the motors work, ( i can hear them) but not always action.

Terms

I am not out to scam anyone but I cannot warranty this or any other vehicle, I am but one man. that said this car is being sold AS IS, with no warranty expressed or implied. This is hot rod and project, if you do not expect to get dirty...buy a Honda. I would consider running pick up 30's - 50's plus cash.

This vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel this listing.
