1965 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE

This 1965 Lincoln Continental convertible with suicide doors has been meticulously gone through with no expense spared. The car was stripped down to bare metal and all rust was cut out and replaced with new sheet metal. The car was blocked numerous times for straight panels and was finished in dark Metallic Gray Valspar solvent paint with a House of Kolor clear coat. The interior has a two-tone custom biscuit pattern with embossed stars and Nappa leather imported from Italy. It also features Dakota Digital gauges for a period-correct look and a period-correct RetroSound radio with a custom sound system. The car sits on original-style custom 20? Isotope Sofia wheels with custom 20? Toyo whitewall tires. The window switches appear period-correct but were updated with a Porsche mechanism on the internals and modern window motors were installed. The convertible top mechanism was updated with hydraulic rams and pump as well as new wiring and hoses. In addition it was fitted with a new black Haart Stayfast cloth top. The original 430ci 8-cylinder engine with powder-coated parts and FiTech fuel injection has been completely gone through and is mated to an automatic transmission. All other mechanical and suspension components were gone through as well. Every piece of metal on this Lincoln has been refinished including the stainless trim that accents the body lines. A brand-new exhaust system was installed with MagnaFlow mufflers and the disc brakes and cooling system have been restored.
