1967 Lincoln Continental Base 7.6l on 2040-cars

This gorgeous automobile turns heads and stops traffic wherever it goes.  Only 2200 of these were made. Anyone who loves old American steel knows this car's history as the first choice of heads of state and the rich and famous.  They also know that Lincoln spared no effort in engineering and designing the Continental.  Operate the convertible top and literally everyone within sight of it will stop to watch a true engineering marvel in action.  

This car has been well-loved and carefully kept and maintained.  It is mostly stock and in very good condition, rust-free, with the original motor and transmission.  This car was originally delivered to the first of only three owners in the arid Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  I am the third owner, and I've kept it in a climate controlled garage.  Some original documentation is available, along with repair manuals and miscellaneous parts that I've collected over the years.  Also available is what's left of a '67 Lincoln Continental sedan parts car. A car of this year and model (in showroom condition) sold for $72,000.00 On Mecham Auctions Last October (Lot #681).

Some specs on this model:  this car has a 462 cubic inch big-block eight-cylinder engine that produces 340 hp at 4,600 rpm, and 485 ft-lb of torque at 2,800 rpm.  To say that this car can fly is an understatement.  Besides the convertible top and suicide doors, I think its coolest feature is the automatic headlight dimmers.

What this car needs:

• The odometer and speedometer quit working in the past year.  Car has around 82k original miles but must be considered true miles unknown.  
• Master lockout/bypass window switch needs to be replaced (missing since I bought the car).
• Windows do not automatically drop when operating the top like they should.  Haven't had time to investigate but think just cleaning the knife switches might do the trick.  Or you can just lower the windows a little before operating the top.
• Minor interior items (back of passenger seat clips, typical crack in dash pad next to speaker).
• dent on passenger side front fender
• Car is not original color (original paint code shows it was Aegean Bronze) but shows just fine as a driver.
• A/C does not work (not converted from original R-12 yet).  Never bothered to fix because it's a convertible.
• Cruise control does not work (needs new bellows and vacuum lines).

And most of all, what this car needs is a good home where it will be well tended.  If you have questions, message me with a phone number and times when I can reach you.
