THIS IS A NO-RE$ERVE AUCTION [OR BUY-IT-NOW BEFORE 1ST BID IS ENTERED] ENDING SUNDAY, JANUARY 13TH, 6PM PST! THE OVERVIEW Offered for an appreciating new owner is this exquisite ONE-OWNER 1966 Lincoln Continental Two-Door Hardtop Coupe! Finished in the original arctic white over bordeaux leather interior, this virtually one-of-a kind time capsule was owned by a 96 year-old lady right here in San Carlos since purchased new almost 50 years ago in San Jose, California. The expression "It is only original once" certainly applies to this very special automobile which has been driven just over 90,000 actual miles. The five-digit odometer still works and it is strongly believed to be 100% actual miles as told by the owner. This unbelievably original California car features superb provenance from the pair of black license plates to the original window sticker of $7,000+ to a typewritten letter from Lincoln-Mercury accompanyed by the postmarked envelope dated September 1966! This is NOT your average old Lincoln but instead a specimen worthy of a Lincoln dealership showroom ANYWHERE in this country or beyond! It sports the 462 cubic inch V8 engine mated to the factory three speed automatic transmission, bordeaux leather interior with six-way power seats, tilt steering wheel, automatic a/c temperature control [a $519 option alone!], embassy roof, wide whitewall bias ply tires, am/fm radio with working electric antenna and more! The buyer will receive the ORIGINAL small pink lip certificate of title as well as all associated maintenance receipts, window sticker, manuals and other official documentation. This is a great opportunity for a Lincoln collector or for someone who wants an appreciating classic sunday driver or local show winner!

I would rate this car a solid "9" on a scale of 1-10. The paint is gleaming original, the stainless trim is excellent, there are a couple of small nicks and blemish befitting of a garaged 90,000 mile automobile. THE INTERIOR The interior of this 1966 Continental is in exquisite original condition throughout! A picture is worth 1,000 words so please make sure to check out the additional photo link above especially in light of the fact that it is difficult to put into words how lovely this car is inside! All of the electric functions work as they should including the radio with power antenna. The a/c is not cold and I have not diagnosed its components. The leather is in amazing condition as are the headliner, door panels, carpets and all. THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This Lincoln starts fine though seems to have one sticky valve from sitting for so long. There is no smoke or oil burning or leaking. The power brakes work well with '60s assisted feel. The suspension is quiet and smooth free of any clunks or rattles. The exhaust is quiet as well. There is a special feeling cruising down the open highway in this classic that brings you back to the heyday of motor cars in America! THE DETAILS AND $$$$$$ 1.
