What you are looking at is one of the most iconic vehicles that I know of, the JFK car. Even though I believe the original JFK car was 63 Lincoln Continental, this car actually originated in Texas as well. I still have the original license plate that was issued to this vehicle in 1964. I hate to part with this car but due to purchase of a new house this must go. So here we go. What you are looking at is a numbers matching 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible fully loaded with the original 430 V8 motor and transmission. This black beauty looks quite cool with all black exterior and beautiful red interior. I have taken this Lincoln to multiple car shows and rarely do you see these cars in public. Due to California weather, I always have the top down and rarely have a need to put the top up. Lets start with the exterior. The paint is very nice, however it is several years old. So if you are looking for a perfect car, this car is not for you. With that said, the car has some minor imperfections but nothing major. It does not have any rust issues. It does have a few chips here and there but you do have to look for them. The chrome is in great condition and looks good. However, with an afternoon you can get the chrome to polish and look even better. The interior is very clean, non smoker, no rips or tears in the seats or carpet. The car does have power seats and power everything. The radio, heater, power antenna, power locks, seats, windows, convertible top, lights, etc all work. The convertible top does go up and down. The trunk opens and closes as it should. If you know Lincoln Continentals than you should know that the electronics on these cars are finicky. You do have to tinker with this every now and then. Back in 1964 this Lincoln was the highest optioned car available and sold for well over $8000.00 and they only made around 3,328 of these convertibles. So when was the last time you saw one. I did have all of the power equipment working and had all of the window switches completely rebuilt. All the motors do work, however you just may need to reset the relays. I also have Lincoln Continental manual that breaks down this car down to the very last relay. The motor runs really good but it is the original motor. The transmission shifts smooth and with out problems. At 70 mph on the freeway the car just glides along. The exhaust sounds great and has a very deep and powerful sound to it. The car does have a few minor leaks coming from the oil pan and transmission pan as well but nothing major. The AC does not work right now and I do have a new condenser for it and that is all it needs. Also, the speedometer does not work right now but it was working a few weeks ago. The convertible top does look ok, but it may need to be replaced depending upon your preference. As I said, I rarely use the top and always have the car garaged. I am very confident that with just a few thousand dollars investment you can easily turn this car into a 45-50K car. My reserve is set pretty low, however I won't give the car away either. I do have the car for sale locally and retain the right to end this auction at anytime if the car sells sooner. I have the pink slip on the car and it is currently registered with out any issues. If you have any questions or want to test drive the car please feel free to contact me at 916-262-6971.
