This 1967 Lincoln Continental convertible was acquired by the current owner in 2009 and underwent a cosmetic refurbishment that was completed in 2011. The body was refinished in silver and the blue interior was refreshed. Power is provided by a 462ci V8 linked with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a power-operated blue convertible top, power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and 15″ steel wheels with polished covers in addition to a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a tilt steering wheel, power windows, an AM/FM radio, and cruise control. This Continental convertible is now offered in Pennsylvania on dealer consignment with a Pennsylvania title.
Finished from the factory in Silver Mist Metallic, the car was refinished during the 2011 refurbishment, and a portion of the driver’s floor has been patched. Exterior details include a power-operated blue convertible top and rear coach doors in addition to quad headlights, a driver-side mirror, a retractable antenna, a Lincoln hood ornament, and chrome bumpers and trim.
Steel 15″ wheels feature polished covers and are mounted with 235/75 Atlas Silvertrac Plus tires. Power steering was standard, and braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The cabin houses bench seating that was reupholstered in blue leather during the refurbishment, and the carpets and door panels were also replaced at that time. Amenities include a power-adjustable driver’s seat, power windows, power locks, cruise control, and an AM/FM radio. The air conditioning does not work.
The two-spoke tilting steering wheel fronts a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer and a fuel-level gauge. Controls for the air conditioning and radio are housed below the instrument cluster. The five-digit odometer shows 94k miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership.
The 462ci V8 was factory equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and was rated at 340 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.
