Description
This is a "1965 Lincoln Continental" with suicide doors.
This is the same Lincoln Continental/year used in the Matrix.
I purchased this vehicle well over a decade ago. I believe I am the fourth owner.
In August 2005, I had the engine completely rebuilt from a very reputable service company that deals in older vehicles. The invoice shows all the work delivered including updating the Air conditioner. Go through the invoices for a description of work done and I am sure you will be impressed.
What the invoice doesn’t show is the new shocks, fan clutch and exhaust that were also replaced.
The vehicle left the service shop with an odometer reading of 24,197 (listed on the invoice) It's actually 124,197 because the speedometer turns over
The current odometer reading is 24,619 (check picture provided)
The car literally has 422 miles on a thoroughly rebuilt engine. The first oil change was made.
The cars stock mechanical fuel pump was replaced with an electric fuel pump. This is much better for very fast starts and reliability.
After the engine was rebuilt, I drove it around for about a month and then parked the car in my garage for literally 13 years. I am older now and don’t have the time or inclination to cross the finish line with the restoration.
The car runs strong as you can imagine with the new engine. All the glass is in great shapeThe interior is original and still looks goodThe dash, interior chrome and the headliner are in fantastic shape. Considering the body is 53 years old, it’s in good shape. The tires have plenty of tread left on them.
Things that need attention:
The brakes need attention. The pedal is a little mushy after recent start up. The brakes were serviced before the park. Some lines and the master cylinder where replaced. So I think they just need bleeding Some of the power windows need work. I am not electrically inclined but I can say they were serviced before I parked the car (see the invoice), so I am not sure if it’s something simple like a fuse or a relay. There is a “One” small rusted area on the floor pan, about the size of a finger (picture included). Otherwise, the frame is solid and the rest of the undercarriage is fine. Remember, it has been garaged for over a decade.
