This is a NO RESERVE auction for my my 1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible. This has been in our family for about 30 years, my dad starting restoring it about 20 years ago, but never finished, so here’s your chance to restore it and get it back on the road. This car originally came with the V12, but it was missing when we got it. He put a Mustang II front end in it, disc brakes, Ford 9” rear end and a Ford 400 motor with AT. The fenders were removed and the body was media blasted and painted with bare metal etching primer. No bondo or bodywork has been done. You can see in the pics that there are a few rusty places in the floor that need to be replaced, but otherwise the car is very solid and rust free. All of the fenders, doors, and other sheet metal are rust free and very straight. He’s been collecting spare parts for it over the years and has duplicate parts for just about every part of the car. Spare fenders, dashes, gauges, switches, radios, grilles, bumpers, etc… There’s even a brand new spare radiator with a custom brass top that’s polished to a mirror finish. The original radiator is also included with the dual inlets and dual outlets that were on all of the V12 cars. The convertible top is complete with all of the bows and can be raised and lowered manually. The hydraulic lift struts are still there, including the original aluminum interior panels. The continental kit is all original and complete with spare tire brackets and tire cover panels that are in perfect original condition. This car is super rare and is an excellent candidate for restoration because it’s very complete, rust free and in great condition. As far as we can tell, it’s been here in Arizona it’s entire life, so it’s in really good shape. When we bought it, it was stored in a garage and for the last 30 years we’ve had it stored in the garage as well. There are enough accessory parts for 2 cars. My dad recently passed away and I wouldn’t be able to restore this car the way it should be done, so I hope it goes to a good car family that can bring it back to life. The car has a clear Arizona title in my name, it’s not a salvage title and there are no liens. Because there are so many spare parts and they won’t all fit in the car, I will NOT ship internationally. Transportation of this car will consist of a auto trailer as well as a truck bed just for all of the spare parts. Please make arrangements with me before final bidding to arrange transportation. The car rolls very easily and the tires will hold air for a few days.
