This 1962 Lincoln Continental convertible is finished in white over red leather and is powered by a 430ci V8 linked with a dual-range three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a power-operated black convertible top, power steering, power-assisted brakes, and 15″ steel wheels with polished covers as well as a power-adjustable front bench, power windows, an AM radio, and an inoperative air conditioning system. This Continental convertible is now offered on dealer consignment with the owner’s manual, a maintenance manual, a convertible top service manual, a battery maintainer, and a clean Texas title.
Originally silver, the car was refinished in white under prior ownership. Exterior details include a power-operated black convertible top, quad headlights, rear-hinged rear doors, a driver-side mirror, a retractable antenna, a Lincoln hood ornament, and chrome bumpers and trim. Paint chips on panel edges and cracks in the window seals are pictured in the gallery below.
The 15″ steel wheels feature polished covers and are mounted with L78-15 Coker Classic whitewall tires. Power steering was standard, and braking is provided by power-assisted front and rear drums.
The cabin houses bench seating upholstered in red leather along with a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Amenities include a power-adjustable front bench seat, power windows, power locks, and an AM radio. Cracks are noted in thedash pad, and photos of the dashboard with the carpeted cover removed are viewable in the gallery below. The radio does not work, and the air conditioning does not blow cold air.
The three-spoke steering wheel fronts a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 45k miles.
The 430ci V8 was factory equipped with a two-barrel carburetor and was rated at 300 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a dual-range three-speed automatic transmission and a 2.89:1 locking differential.
