Vehicle Detail

Visual Impressions - 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible. The vehicle was originally sold in New York and ended up in a private collection in Texas. The collector died and there was an estate auction and a gentleman in our area bought 4 cars from the collection. In total 3,328 convertibles came off the production line in 1964. This is a complete numbers matching convertible. To complete the build this car has received a full body on frame (unibody) restoration. The underside of the vehicle has been restored/blasted with all factory spot welds visible. The underside was finished in flat black continuing to the pinch molding. In an effort to keep a more modern and classic look for the Lincoln the services of Murray Pfaff Designs were enlisted, http://www.pfaffdesigns.com. Murray has created over 30 different looks for the vehicle including two tones and graphics combinations that will be included with purchased of the Lincoln should the buyer decide to change the look of the vehicle in the future. Parts and accessories for the Lincoln were primarily purchased through Bakers Auto in Connecticut, http://www.bakersauto.com and through Lincoln Land in Florida, http://www.lincolnlandinc.com.

The engine currently has 3 custom painted true fire engine covers by Crash Customs. This Lincoln has factory air-conditioning. The air-conditioning worked at the time the system was dismantled however it has not been recharged since the rebuild as R12 is no longer available in Canada due to recent legislation. Air Supension – The front suspension is an air bag set up with Slam Specialty air bags. The rear suspension is a Mobsteel, www.mobsteel.com, four-link with Slam Specialty air bags. The air ride set up is a four wheel independent configuration, meaning each wheel can be independently operated by a switch. There is also a separate switch to operate both front or rear bags or all four bags at one time. The valve system for the Lincoln is GC 150 valves, http://www.gcvalves.com. The valves have been hard plumbed into the chrome 6 gallon chrome air tank. The air tank is filled using three 480C viair compressors, http://www.viaircorp.com. There are two batteries contained in a covered trunk compartment with a battery solenoid to separate the front battery from the two rear batteries. The controls for the air ride are contained in a custom black 1964 DropStar model Lincoln. The air is managed through two dual needle gauges contained in a custom under dash console. Interior.
