BODY OVERVIEW:
This 1966 Lincoln Continental’s body showcases the bold, unmistakable lines that have made it an icon. The suicide doors alone are worth the price of admission! The sheet metal looks solid, and while there are minor blemishes here and there, this is expected for a car that’s survived for nearly six decades without restoration. If you’re a fan of originality, you’ll appreciate this Continental!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The car has undergone a color change to its current silver finish from its original green, offering a more modern and sophisticated look. The paint is presentable and shows nicely, though you will find minor imperfections consistent with a survivor car. It shines nicely and gives this Lincoln the presence it deserves!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Step inside, and you’re greeted by an original off-white leather interior that carries a cool, vintage vibe. There is some minor wear, but nothing that detracts from the overall charm of the cabin, and once again the condition is consistent with a well-preserved survivor. The seats, dash, and trim all reflect the car’s originality, giving it an authentic, period-correct feel. For those who love the “survivor” aesthetic, this interior might as well be pure gold!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood is a 462ci V8 that starts up and runs smoothly, providing the effortless and quiet cruising experience that Lincolns are known for. The power top functions well, making for a perfect drop-top experience. The power windows also work, adding convenience and serving as a reminder of what luxury was in 1966. As it sits, this Continental can be driven and enjoyed!

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
If you’re looking for a fully restored car with modern amenities, and cosmetic perfection, this isn’t it.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
The horn is not operational, and the dash switch for the convertible top is not working. The air conditioning is also inoperative. The car is in drivable condition, but addressing the horn, convertible top switch, air conditioning, and radio will bring it closer to perfection. However, none of these affect the immediate driving experience!

It’s perfect for someone who values originality and wants a car that’s turn-key, with the option to fine-tune a few details over time. If you love mid-century American luxury and want to own a piece of rolling history, this 1966 Continental Convertible is the one for you!
