I would have thought with Scott owning one that we'd have one here by now!!

As you might have guessed... I've now purchased one myself.. but I went a bit older than Scott did.



You can see more picture of it here... along with how the 70 coupe is going as well (very SLOWLY!!)

With the coupe I am just about ready to put another engine in there.. in the past I talked about putting a new engine in it.. then a 390... but now I think I have settled on just putting a 351 in there (less work and less hassle) So I'll be in the market for one here real soon!

 

What year is it?

 

It's a 63... and yep.. with the 430.. got some performance stuff on it already.. nothing major.. heads, ignition, couple other odds and ends... and a boatload (pun intended since they were all in the car) of spare parts.

Susan played bad cop and I played good cop... I printed out some eBay auctions of other cars in the Orlando area (had no intention of buying them) and made sure that Susan waved em around a bit and left them laying on the hood or what not... The guy had it on eBay with a starting bid of $2500 and I started at $1800... we ended up on settling at $1850

 

damn, im soo jealous. nice find, and a damn good price.

 

there was a custom Lincoln like that down here for $2,500...dont know if its still around.

 

Interior is faded... but only has a few minor rips in it.

And GOD NO! The original color was the Ermine White (which is showing through in spots ).. we probably will be turning it into a street rod.. so we were thinking something like dark navy blue... dark cherry... etc...

 

Nice ride Mike! It needs a lift kit and some 28' dubs.
