Beautiful original tripple black 1964 Lincoln Continental 4 Door Convertible. This car is so much fun to drive and I really am going to miss it. It runs and drives great. In fact it is about the easiest car to drive that I've ever driven. It's a fabulous car for long trips. All the Lincolns came very well equipped. There were very few options. This Lincoln has the original factory air blows ice cold. The power windows all work. The top even works flawlessly. This Continental has the rare AM FM radio which not only works quite well, but I had it improved a bit. I added an amp, changed out the original speakers with some far superior ones, and added a couple more speakers. Best of all I added an auxillary input so you can play your I-Pod through the Lincoln's sound system. Even on the freeway you can enjoy your music loud and clear. Of the sixties Lincolns, the '64 Convertible is the most coveted, and being a factory tripple black makes this the best of the best. If you have any questions or would like to come and see the Lincoln in Sacramento, please give me a call. My name is Steve and I can be reached at (916)833-6111 I have lots more pictures and was going to post them, but E-Bay would only let me post 24, so if you would like to see all the pictures of the top etc, just let me know and I'll e-mail them to you. The top is from Bakers Auto, so it's perfect. I had it installed a few years ago. This is being advertized locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early and sell the car if it it hasn't made the reserve yet. The reserve is reasonable.

It looks like this continental has had one repaint a long time ago. I've owned it for twelve years, so if there ever had been any rust it should have popped up by now and it hasn't. As you can see in the pictures, there is some not so great body work on the right rear quarter, but otherwise the body is nearly perfect. The paint is not, but it is presentable. The interior is all original. The leather seats need to be redone, but the door panels are very nice, and the padded dash is perfect. It looks like this car has always been garage kept. I've always kept it in the garage, and I bought the car from a friend who always kept it garaged as well. He bought it out of an estate of a guy in Reno, who had moved from Southern Cal. The car had spent most of the eighties and nineties in a warehouse. I have some great documentation. I've got receipts all the way back to '69 when the five year old Lincoln was serviced at Beverly Hills Mercury for Jack Warden of Malibu.On Apr-20-10 at 17:27:23 PDT, seller added the following information: I have lots more pictures I can send you if you give me your e-mail address. I don't know how to send through E-Bay. The milage listed is as it reads on the odometer. I really didn't think anyone would think it was real, but I just got a call and the guy really thought this '64 Lincoln has less than 23,000 miles on it. The odometer has gone around at least once. On Apr-21-10 at 12:12:16 PDT, seller added the following information: Jack Warden: I can't say for sure that this was owned by the famous actor Jack Warden, but in that Jack Warden had this serviced at Beverly Hills Mercury several times, it may well be the same one. If so, I've got a whole bunch of his autographs with the documentation. He signed work authorizations, receipts, etc. Following is copied from Wikopedia about Jack Warden who's acting career lasted fifty years: Early life Warden was born John H. Lebzelter in Newark, New Jersey,[1] the son of Laura M. (née Costello) and John Warden Lebzelter, who was an engineer and technician.[2] His father was Jewish and his mother was Irish American.[citation needed][3] Raised in Louisville, Kentucky, he was expelled from high school for fighting and eventually fought as a professional boxer under the name Johnny Costello. He had 13 welterweight bouts but earned little money.[4] [edit] World War II Warden worked as a nightclub bouncer, tugboat deckhand and lifeguard before joining the United States Navy in 1938. He was stationed in China for three years with the Yangtze River Patrol.[4] In 1941, he joined the United States Merchant Marine but, quickly tiring of the long convoy runs, he switched to the United States Army in 1942 where he served as a paratrooper in the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, with the elite 101st Airborne Division during World War II. In 1944, on the eve of the D-Day invasion (during which many of his friends died), Staff Sergeant (Lebzelter) Warden shattered his leg by landing on a fence during a night-time practice jump in England. After almost a year in the hospital (during which time he read a Clifford Odets play and decided to become an actor after the end of the war), he recovered enough to participate in the Battle of the Bulge in 1944. Ironically in That Kind of Woman Warden played a paratrooper from the 101st's rivals: the 82nd Airborne Division.[5][6] After leaving the military with the rank of sergeant, he moved to New York City and pursued an acting career on the G.I. Bill. He joined the company of the Dallas Alley Theater and performed on stage for five years. In 1948 he made his television debut on The Philco Television Playhouse and Studio One. He made an uncredited film debut in 1951 in You're in the Navy Now, a movie which also featured the film debuts of Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson.[1] [edit] Career Warden had his first credited film role in The Man with My Face in 1951, and in 1952 he began a three-year role in the television series Mr. Peepers. After a role as a sympathetic corporal in From Here to Eternity, Warden's breakthrough film role was his performance as Juror No. 7, a salesman who wants a quick decision in a murder case, in 12 Angry Men. Warden guest starred on many television series over the years, including two 1960 episodes of Barton MacLane's The Outlaws on NBC, and thereafter on Marilyn Maxwell's Bus Stop on ABC. He received a supporting actor Emmy Award for his performance as Chicago Bears coach George Halas in Brian's Song, and was twice nominated for his starring role in the 1980s comedy series, Crazy Like a Fox. Additionally, Warden was nominated for Academy Awards as Best Supporting Actor for his performances in Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait. He also had notable roles in such films as All the President's Men, ...And Justice for All and Being There, Used Cars (in which he played a celebrated dual role in 1980), The Verdict, Problem Child and its sequel, While You Were Sleeping, and the Norm MacDonald film Dirty Work.[5] Warden appeared in over one hundred movies, typically playing gruff cops, sports coaches, trusted friends and similar roles, during a career which spanned six decades. His last film was 2000's The Replacements, opposite Gene Hackman and Keanu Reeves. [edit] Personal life Warden married French actress Vanda Dupre in 1958 and had one son, Christopher. Although they separated in the 1970s they never divorced.[7]On Apr-21-10 at 15:50:17 PDT, seller added the following information: MORE PICTURES!!!
