Vehicle Detail
VIN: This is a 1965 Lincoln Continental bearing VIN 5Y82N400222. In 1965 the Lincoln production numbers started with 400001, and Mercury started with 500001. That means that this is the 222nd Lincoln off the line. I have yet to see another surviving Continental a VIN anywhere near that low, let alone a numerical sequence as unique as this one. OWNER HISTORY: I purchased this vehicle from a gentleman who informed me that he owned the car for 14 years. Previous ownership prior to him is unknown to me. TRIM/BODY: All of the bodywork on this car has been completed, this car is STRAIGHT. There is no rot anywhere on the car. All of the chrome and trim pieces are present and in great condition with the exception of the passenger side turn signal lens. All headlights, taillights, turn signals, license plate lamps, etc. work. All of the trim in the interior is present and in great condition as well. A few bulbs in the interior have burned out as can be expected. Car still has the original owners manual, which is missing the cover. All doors, trunk and hood open and close properly. Original hubcaps are still on the car and in good condition, though they do have a few small dents and dings. OPTIONS: This car came with the upgraded AM/FM radio which is still present in the car. It featured cruise control which is no longer working, but the switch is still present. It has electric everything, even electric wing windows. Car originally had AC but was removed with the factory 430 engine. ENGINE/TRANS: The car originally came with the a 430, it has been swapped out to a 302 which is mated to a C4 transmission. OVERALL: Car runs and drives. Power brakes work great, as does the power steering. Does pull to the right when driving, will need an alignment. Tires are in good condition, all glass is present and in excellent condition. Car is currently plated and registered in Colorado on the original 1965 plates which will go with the car. If you have any questions about the car please feel free to ask. I took a detailed video of the car which will be available for viewing at http://youtu.be/g3AbiRiv2rc shortly.
