Just email them. 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. Has always been stored indoors. FIRST TIME BEING OFFERED FOR SALE SINCE 1975. 2 OWNER CAR! Drives like you are on a cloud and sounds awesome! Plenty of POWER in the 462 inch original motor. A LOT! Of $ was just invested in this super cool ride to get it freshened up. Following is a detailed description of the car and items done to it in the past few months. Interior: We just had ALL windows on the car completely professionally serviced by a LINCOLN SPECIALIST and they work great from ALL switches. (SEE YOUTUBE VIDEO link below)1. All window regulators were cleaned/ lubricated.2. Windows were All adjusted.3. Switches were ALL cleaned and or replaced. ORIGINAL Seats are in Very good condition front and rear. Leather is soft and nice patina! (you can tell car has been kept indoors due to the nice surviving condition of seats etc.)Door panels are in good shapeDashboard is in good shape. minor crack at typical speaker cover in center by windshield.Carpet is good. Some fading and two small 3 inch spots in rear under floor mats have been repaired but are small and hidden under floor mats. Basically interior on car is in very good condition and needs near nothing. I only say “near” because it is a 40+ year old car and is not new. Exterior: The paint on the car is in good shape. The car was re-painted in its original VERY RARE (Charcoal Frost Metallic) Code S. Plenty of clear coat on the car to shine. Buyer should expect some minor flaws in the metallic paint here and there along with some minor dings here and there from storage but nothing major. Car was professionally wet sanded and polished this week to bring out the deep shine. I would rate the paint as a good driver+ condition. Shines great and looks amazing with the new white top and the red interior. Very Rare color combo for this convertible. Car has no rust on it and underneath is very dry and solid. Floors are great. (See Photos) No issues at all. Note : For the new Owner, there is a small amount of the original paint color used on the car that will come with it in case anything needs touched up in the future on the car.Chrome on Front and Rear Bumpers is in good shape. Rated at driver quality. Nice shine, no rust but not perfect.Door handle chrome is good. minor pits/hazing All Stainless trim on car is in very nice shape Engine: Original V8 462 CU This car starts up easily and runs very strong. Motor sounds great and has plenty of power. 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) Note: This car has been driven ONLY about 25 miles since being removed from private collection. Drives like a dream with no known issues other than constant THUMBS up from on lookers but should REALLY be looked at by your mechanic before taking on any long trips. Check belts, hoses, etc to be safe. Tires are good with 80 tread left. CONVERTIBLE TOP: PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING ONE OF THESE LINCOLNS....THE TOP!!!! SEE TOP IN WORKING ACTION on YOUTUBE... type in search window " 1966 charcoal frost lincoln top working" VERY VERY Important item on one of these cars is the hydraulic top functions. This car has just been fully serviced for its Top Functions. EVERYTHING was gone thru including EVERY Relay, ALL pumps, EVERY LIMIT SWITCH etc. at a cost of over $5000 which did include the power window servicing as well. Any one that knows these cars, knows that it is VITAL to buy one already serviced for its top. They are not cheap to have fully serviced but once this is complete they will work and last for another 40 years. This service was just completed last week. After that we took it to have a brand new original style pin point vinyl top installed which was an additional $2200 from upholstery shop. Everything operates just as it did from the factory. Top can be raised and lowered with ease FROM INSIDE THE CAR OR OUTSIDE BY GAS TANK SWITCH, and it is quite the site to see!!! see video at You Tube NOTE: IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LINCOLNS OF THIS ERA, THEY HAD A KEYED SWITCH BY GAS TANK TO OPEN TRUNK. This works too. SUMMARY…All the EXPENSIVE & hard work/RESTORATION is done on this car. No disappointments here. Car just needs minor items to be show quality. Email me today to get this one before its too late!!! Buy today and be cruising tomorrow! I have tried to be very detailed and describe all I know about car. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CAR IS OVER 40 YEARS OLD AND ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN RESTORED, CARS OF THIS ERA WILL ALWAYS NEED SOMETHING FROM TIME TO TIME BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NEW. Email questions. Thanks! BUY with CONFIDENCE!!! I do my best to accurately describe the car and assist buyers through every step of the purchase!

Some recent Items that were replaced under the hood: New Spark Plugs, Wires, Cap, Rotor New Fuel Pump New Battery Last year Also, Car has duel exhaust but does not currently have resonators.
