1968 Lincoln Continental
1968 Lincoln Continental4 Door Sedan - 75,635 miles -I am 100% sure that is actual miles and hasn’tturned over (5-digit odometer) and is 175k miles. Lots of receipts and just thecondition of things makes me confident in that.
Video link below and 200 photosavailable, I can send you the link. I will try to describe this vehicle as is,will not be any surprises.
I purchased fromCedartown, Georgia about 3 years ago so it’s a southern car. Was in that areaits whole life, based on paperwork I see 3 (maybe 4) owners before me. I’m inupstate NY but was garaged and only driven in nice weather. Starts, runs,drives, stops well. Body is in amazing shape. Absolutely no rust or rotanywhere. I have looked in all the usual places for any body work, filler, etcand do not find any. It’s good, straight, all original sheet metal. I havetinkered and fixed some things while enjoying it. Replaced 3 of the 4 windowmotors, new front shocks, new carb & choke system, choke works perfect now,idles down nice after warms up. Have done tune up stuff like plugs and wires,oil changes etc. When I change the oil I do use a zinc additive which isrecommended for these engines. Fixed a couple leaks, is mostly dry underneathnow. I do see a drip once a week or so. The stock radio did work ok, but Iinstalled a kind of stealth Bluetooth radio under the dash to connect to myphone. Power antenna works, has the automatic headlight dimmer option.Front seat is electric and does move 3 of the 4 positions. Front seat wasredone at some point before me it with new leather, matches the original designand it nicely done. Headliner is perfect. Dash is ok, cracked here and there, typicalof these cars. Some stuff doesn't work like the A/C, all the parts are there,just doesn't blow cold and haven't researched why. There is a chip in the topof the windshield and has a crack off it. The crack has not moved at all in the3 years I've owned it, can't really see it behind the rear-view mirror when driving.The driver’s side rear window motor doesn't work. I can hear the relay clickingbehind the seat but haven't tried to fix. It is a great car to be able tocruise around in and be able to fix things up as you go. Not a perfect show carbut it is a very good example. I have gone on hours long trips with no hiccups,just cruises along. Carburetorcould use a fine tuning I'm sure, but runs and drivesjust fine as is. It was repainted the original color at some point, (MikadoYellow) but I don't know when, well before my time and seems well done to me.
I have a lot ofpaperwork with the car, original dealer invoice showing option for vinyl roof($6,177.09 on 8/9/1968) original owner’s manual filled out with the originalowners info & dealer signature, original temporary ownercard, originalownercard, original build sheet, receipts from the 60's, 70's etc.
Here 's a link to onevideo of the power antenna working, a start-up video, a couple walk aroundvideos, the seat moving, the windows working, driving around a bit. https://youtu.be/G03lSsYqWp4
