johnc Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 In some of the photos I've posted there has been a large car under a car cover in the background. A few folks have asked me what that land yacht is... 1964 Lincoln Continental Sedan. Silver Sand with Ivory Leather interior. 430 Continental V8. 145,000 original California miles. Power windows, brakes, AC, etc. Everything works and the car drives great. Its our "going to dinner" car. Valets love it and usually park it right in front. They've even moved a Mercedes or two to get the Lincoln front and center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted June 7, 2002 Author Share Posted June 7, 2002 I bought the car from these guys: VIP Classics down in San Diego. Ended up hooking the owner (Roy) up with our carbon fiber guy so that Roy could get the tub widened on his mid-eighties Indy Lola. I also looked at a few convertible Continentals but they were at least $10K more than my sedan in the same condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 OH WOW!!! I love those cars! Man is that one beautiful! What a classic. If I had my choice, it would be black with a very light tint on the windows. Bada$$. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Very nice. Cool time in our history too, Kennedy era. My grandfather had a '67 Olds 98. Massive car. I think it weighted more than our Suburban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Thurem Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Greeeeen with envy those cars are soo coool. My wife hates them though, had a couple of old caddy's and my wife will kill me if get something like this. Thure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Nice car. I always liked the 64-65 conti, the suicide rear doors and no one mentioned the backseat.... Can you say "Love Machine..." haha... Also cars like that never just sneak up, people are all over them I'm betting, my bro's 63 Tbird draws people like crazy, they like those 60's ford/mercury's now, which is cool, lots of good ones still around. That is truly one fine urban blaster for sure, you do have subwoofers right? Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 Lone, Its got the stock am/fm stereo, power antenna and two speakers (on in front and one in back). The people that seem to go most crazy over the Lincoln are high school Latinas. I've had them run across the street and beg for rides. David, I would love to see photos of the black '64. Thurem, VIP has a nice Imperial for sale: 1968 Chrysler Imperial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 Me too, where I'm headed to live in AZ. has no shortage of Latina's... Regards, Lone Ps: Yeah, factory radio or factory look is the way to go, was kidding on the Sub's. My bro's Tbird has the 'factory' looking unit in the dash, but its a AM/FM with a 6 pack player in the trunk. He does have surface mount pioneer speakers, but painted them turquiose like the rest of the interior and now they look like rear headrest pods. Sounds weird but looks good. Anyway, nice car.
