1961 Lincoln Continental 335 Miles Regency Turquoise Convertible 430 CI V8 3 Sp

1961 Lincoln Continental -- Additional Info:

Lovingly nicknamed Lincoln's Engel-penned masterpiece the fourth generation Continental makes a BIG first impression. The car was originally designed as a replacement for Ford's maturing Thunderbird and after a bit of upsizing was introduced as undoubtedly the most iconic model in Lincoln Motor Company history. Massive and elegant this Regency Turquoise drop-top has a presence that stretches far beyond its large proportions. That presence was very successfully reinstated by Liana Restorations o...f Troutville Virginia - a shop that specializes in vintage Ford luxury cars. The car's long laser-straight panels wear a smooth coat of glossy 2-stage that's been meticulously maintained since the day it was shot. And that mirror-like sheen highlights a level of fit and finish that's well above average. Pop the car's long hood and you'll find a beefy 430 cubic inch 'bulldozer' V8 that's branded with a correct 41E11K assembly stamp. A refined member of Ford's MEL engine family the smooth big block spins stout 10 to 1 compression into 300 horsepower and 465 lb./ft. of all-American torque. Behind that big block an era-correct Turbo-Drive 3-speed spins a familiar Ford rear end. Under that capable drivetrain a completely rebuilt double a-arm and leaf spring suspension is equipped with factory power steering and 4-wheel power drum brakes. And at the corners of that suspension 235/75R14 American Classic whitewalls frame painted steelies and satin-detailed hub caps. Celebrated on the highest levels this investment grade Lincoln is the perfect addition to your collection. From its polished grille to its massive rear bumper the car is a fully sorted show stopper that keeps Elwood Engel's original vision alive and well. Call click or visit for more information.
