Vehicle Detail

1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible Rare & hard to find in this good of shape! 1963 Suicide Door Convertible only 3138 were Produced. This is a fabulous find, 3 Owners with 73,5xx K miles, believed to be Original Miles but we are not able to verify. It has been VERY WELL kept & cared for. When you open the doors you’ll see nice jams, the trunk has just received a new upholstery job with carpet and liner that looks great. Open the hood and you see a Well Serviced Engine that runs Exceptionally Smooth and is Extremely CLEAN inside & out! This could be a daily driver it runs so well. Factory Straight Body, Trim, Glass and Original Interior & Carpet in phenomenal shape, nice Pearl White Paint Job. Top is original and very clean. Very nice Dash, all things are working as they should, except for the Clock, which is currently not working. Windows work good, top works great, front powered seat works, AM/FM Radio w/ cassette deck & speakers currently not working. There is one very small split in the seam of front seat, driver’s side which I’ve taken a picture of, please look. The rest of seats & interior in Great Shape, color is Burgundy Deep Red. This Lincoln Drives Wonderful, shifts the way it should, brakes are working but pull very slightly to the left, steering working just as it should be. Minor exhaust leak but it is not at the manifold. I may have time to repair this before the end of auction and will provide an update if I do. Garage kept TX car with a clear TX title, Serviced and Maintained like a member of the family. This is a very well kept 49 Year Old Highly Collectible Luxury Car ! Loaded with Options as you can read below, this Lincoln won't last long!

This involved an instrument panel redesign to allow for more knee and leg room, relocating the front seat forward slightly to improve rear seat leg room, and designing a new deck lid and reconfiguring the luggage compartment to hold more luggage. Changes to the engine provided 20 additional horsepower, and several optional items were made standard in 1963. This would be the final year for the curved side glass and shorter wheelbase, as bigger changes were on the way for 1964. 1963 represented the following changes, additions, or deletions: Standard rear door courtesy lights on Sedan Amber front turn signal lenses Standard six-way power seat, power vent windows, and power antenna (except early production) Four-barrel carburetor Revised rear deck lid Front seat relocated forward Revised instrument panel New AM-FM Radio option Six-Ply Whitewall Tire option 320 horsepower engine Standard remote control outside rearview mirror Single heater core and blower motor (1961-1962 cars had two of each) Payment: Winning bidder must contact me within 24 hours of auction end and make arrangements for payment at that time.
