I also encourage the prospective buyers to view the car first if possible? Or have someone look at it for you. This car is in Fantastic Condition for its age. No rust on car. Southern car that has always been indoors. This car is fresh out of a private collection and ready for new owner to enjoy all the hard work completed on it. It is CRUISE READY TODAY!!!! Drives like a dream and sounds awesome! Following is a description of the car. Again, it will come with a 4 inch tall stack of documents and receipts chronicling the FULL Restoration process it under went. A LOT! Of $ was invested in this cool ride and it will sell for under that!!!! Interior: Dashboard is in perfect shape. Looks like new. We just had ALL windows on the car completely serviced and they work great from ALL switches. 1. All window regulators were cleaned/ lubricated. 2. Windows were All adjusted to raise and lower evenly. 3. Switches were ALL cleaned and or replaced. Seats are in new condition front and rear. Door panels like new Carpet like new. NO fading. High quality factory replacement carpet. Not some cheapo knock off. Basically interior on car is in near mint condition. I only say “near” because it is a 49 year old car. Exterior: -The paint on the car is in fantastic shape. Near show quality paint. The car was completely disassembled and re-painted. This was NOT masking taped and sprayed….The ENTIRE car was medina blasted inside and out. Primer sealed and then repainted. Bumpers, Grill, Windshield, All trim, Top, etc. were all removed for this process. You will not see over spray on trim pieces etc. Car was done right and it is not caked with layers of old paint like most of these cars that have quickie re-sprays. Look at under hood and under trunk lid photos. Everything was removed, restored, then replaced after paint. Again, NO OVER SPRAY. Fantastic Base Coat Clear Coat Paint - Very dry and clean underneath! (See photos) - Appears front floors were replaced at time of restoration and in good shape. - Chrome on Front and Rear Bumpers is NEW. Fully re-dipped - Door handle chrome is like new. - All Stainless trim on car is in very nice shape Engine: Original V8 390 CU This car starts up easily and runs very strong. Motor sounds great and has plenty of power. Engine was FULLY REBUILT 10k miles ago. Transmission shifts smoothly into all gears and floats down the road. Power steering works great. Can steer car with one finger. A pleasure to drive! Engine bay is VERY clean and well kept/ detailed. (see photos) CAN EAT OFF IT. (although I wouldn’t recommend eating off the engine.) Note: This car has been driven about 100 miles since being removed from private collection. Drives like a dream with no known issues other than constant THUMBS up from on lookers! -Just had Tune-Up done to the car including… -new spark plugs -new cap & rotor -new wires -Fresh Lube, Oil & Filter change. -BRAND NEW 1.5 inch White Wall Tires. CONVERTIBLE TOP: SEE TOP IN WORKING ACTION AT THIS YOUTUBE ADDRESS... http://youtu.be/6VcNBM6LAJE Perhaps the most important item on one of these cars is the hydraulic top functions. This car has just been fully serviced for its top. Everything was gone thru including relays, pumps, etc. Everything operates just as it did from the factory. Top can be raised and lowered with ease and it is quite the site to see!!! Top material is original style stay fast canvas and is in NEW condition. Fits nice and is soft. Back window CLEAR! NOTE: IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LINCOLNS OF THIS ERA, THEY HAD A KEYED SWITCH BY GAS TANK TO OPEN TRUNK. THIS ONE HAS A HIDDEN SWITCH INSIDE GAS TANK DOOR FOR AN EXTRA CONVIENIENCE. Both this switch and the original top down switch work just as they should. SEE YOUTUBE Video on top going up and down… Items noted that need attention… -Gas gauge seems to be stuck. We are having it looked at this week. -Minor gas drip on a gasket on side of Carb. We have another Carb included with car but are having this one looked at this week too. -A New Owner who will drive and enjoy this classic beauty!!!!!
