1962 Lincoln Continental Up for auction is my beautiful 1962 Lincoln Continental. Perfect example of an original California rust-free classic that's never left the state. I am only the 3rd registered owner to the car and I purchased it from the son of the original owner here in Orange County (it still has the matching set of CA black plates). This Lincoln sat covered in a warehouse for almost 3 decades before being restored. Aside from the paint and new upholstery everything is very much original and in great shape. Even the dash pad and steering wheel are from factory and have no cracks which is very rare for a 50+ year old Lincoln. All the chrome and stainless steel trim is original to the car and nothing has been re-chromed, it's still in excellent condition since the car has always been stored indoors. Nothing is missing on the car and everything looks just as it should. These Lincolns are getting harder to find each year and expecially in this condition. The car had the original 430 engine and C-6 trans rebuilt back in 2006 and now have about 30k miles since the rebuild. I just had the carburator rebuilt last month, rebuilt power steering pump and gear box (3 months ago), full exhaust system replaced just last month, and installed a new red top Optima battery. It's already been converted from a generator to an alternator setup. Car runs excellent and feels like you're riding on a cloud at any speed. Engine bay is very clean and some of the parts have been powdercoated like the valve covers and air cleaner. The suspension, power steering, and power brakes all work perfect and it drives with great ease for such a large car. The front end was dropped 3 inches with custom lowering springs made specially for this car, rear has air shocks that can be raised or lowered to your desired height. Even though the car sits lower than stock it still feels like a factory Lincoln on the road unlike cars that have just had the front springs cut and lowering blocks installed in the rear. No squeaks or rattles anywhere and the engine drives very quite as well. All 4 power windows go up and down, interior and exterior lights all work, wipers, turn signals, power seat, ect all work fine. The A/C system has not been recharged in years so it's probably due for a service. Still blows Cool air but needs to be charged to blow Ice-cold again. The interior was all done earlier this year which included front and rear leather seat upholstery, door panels, new wood trim, full carpet, headliner, trunk carpet and custom tire cover with embroidered Lincoln emblem. The car was painted 2 years ago with a nice two stage black paint job that still looks great. There's a couple minor paint imperfections from average use but nothing noticable. Car has all original sheet metal and it has never been in an accident. It's never had any rust issues or metal repairs done to it either. Original glass all around in excellent shape as well. This beauty turns heads and gets thumbs up wherever we drive it. If you don't like constant attention this car is not for you. I've got a ton of invoices and past service records from over the years including factory service manuals and even the original owners manual from 1962. I've got a clean CA title in hand with current registration under my name. Car is available for inspection by any serious bidder during this auction so feel free to send me a message with your phone number and I will call you to set up an appointment. As all other classic cars it is being sold in AS IS condition and there is no warranty included in this sale. Please ask questions if you are unsure of anything prior to bidding. This is a NO RESERVE listing so the car will go to the highest bidder no matter what. I'm selling the Lincoln to buy a 65' Cobra replica so if you have one that you would like to trade let me know (that is the only car I will consider a trade with). View my feedback and bid with confidence. Thanks for viewing my listing.
