Actually I have wanted one for a long time but now I am obsessed with getting one. My great Gandmother had several and I can still remember riding in them when I was very young.

I think after I finish my current motor project on the Mustang this is next but I will have to build a bigger garage to keep it. :lol:

Here is a example from E-Bay it is a little pricer than most since decent ones can be had for $7k - $10k:

A Very Fine Example (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6304&item=4553271432&rd=1)

Anything from 1962 - 1964 are my favorites. If you ever see one in decent shape let me know.

Anyone else like these old Lincolns ?

There is actually one (something) just down the street from us Scott. It's white and has been there for sale for a couple weeks. I say all this ........ I think its a lincoln :lol:. Bill knows which one I'm talking about. It looks good and I actually commented to him that I would like to have it :D. Our conversation also revolved around we don't have a garage long enough for it.

I have to leave to shortly and will drive by and get a # for you if it's still there, and let you know for sure if it's even a lincoln and what yr it is. Whatever it is it's big.

It's a cadillac, please excuse my wife, she doesn't know her luxury cars :lol:
I have always wanted one as well Scott, my old partner had a black '70 cadillac coupe deville with 20 inch spoke wheels and as ghetto as it may sound, it was actually a really good looking car and a lot of fun to drive. I always wanted to do the same thing with an older lincoln, preferably a convertible, but I haven't seen any that were obtainable without holes rusted all through them. :lol:

No problem on the mix up.

I want to get one in pretty good shape and just needs some TLC or mechanical help. I find doing it this way is much cheaper than taking a shitbox and trying to re-do it since most people sell these cars at a loss after dumping a lot of money in them and never finishing.

If you come across a 62-64 (no verts) let me know, I am sure I can find some place to store it.

hey, those cars are sweet! My mom's uncle has owned one for years, but he is getting up there in age. I'll check and see if he wants to sell it.

That would be great, just PM me if he is interested and if so let me know what year it is because I am only looking for 62-64.

Thanks

There's also a place called Lincoln Land on Gulf to Bay. I'm sure thier expensive, but if you ever just want to take a look at some nice cars they have them.

yeah they've got tons of parts as well for the old cars. the early 60's continental is my favorite car. if all pans out that's the next car i want. then i can roll around in a hotrod lincoln lol. the convertibles are about 10-15k in good shape, you can find'em around but ya gotta travel for'em or pay shipping. hard tops like that one are in he 4-10k range depending on what problems if any. i love those cars, great taste man!

Ford Motorsport makes a 512 ci. crate motor that makes 625h.p. with no power adder and 600 tq. for about $6,500. That would do the trick for me. :D
