Overview Of Entire Vehicle: *2- (Near Perfect Convertible)
Here is an absolutely gorgeous 1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible in amazing condition inside and out. This car is currently on consignment with us from a local Arizona collector who is the 2nd owner of the car. He purchased the car form the original owner and has since owned it for over 20 years. The owner only really takes the car out twice a year to The Good Guys Show and pretty much every year it wins an award showing you how nice and respected this car really is. There is still documentation which includes pictures from the 70's showing the original owners standing next to the car which is extremely cool. The owner has babied this car throughout his entire ownership and has always been very well maintained and pampered. It is in impeccable mechanical condition and you can drive it anywhere with ease as it runs and drives extremely smooth and tight. It features an excellent working power top, ice cold Mark IV air conditioning, power windows etc and is a Lincoln that is truly a pleasure to own. It has an absolutely gorgeous exterior with a mint body that is as straight as an arrow. It has excellent chrome, trim and fit and finish throughout. The car has looks that just don't quit and is one of the nicer Lincolns out there. If this car was black it would be a $100k+ car but we think white is more unique than a typical black car and it is a true bargain for what we are asking for it. This car is turn key ready and does not need anything for it to be driven, shown and enjoyed. This is the first time this Lincoln has been available to the public in over 20 years so do not wait as this amazing car will not last long at all.

Exterior: *Condition #2-
The exterior of this Lincoln is finished in its original factory color of Arctic White. The paint was hand rubbed to a smooth as glass finis, is absolutely gorgeous and near flawless. The fit and finish on the body is absolutely perfect with sides as straight as an arrow and perfect gaps. It has beautiful chrome and trim all the way around it, with crystal clear glass and lenses. The front and rear bumper chrome appears to be original as they have a few minor marks but still very bright and beautiful. It is sitting on a set of chrome Smoothie Wheels wrapped in Goodyear wide white wall radial tires. The original wheels and hubcaps are also included with the car but the owner just preferred the look with these wheels and tires and we agree that it looks very clean and classy. Overall the exterior of this Lincoln is in amazing condition, shows beautifully and is sure to please.
Interior: *Condition #3+
The interior in this Lincoln is absolutely beautiful and looks to have been completely redone back to factory specs at one time. This includes all new carpet and all new genuine black leather seats which are soft and supple and look great. The dash and cluster are gorgeous and look just as clean and bright as the day it was new. The steering looks beautiful with just one hairline crack but all the brightwork and trim throughout the interior is very bright and clean. Everything works in the car including the horn, power antenna, gauges, directionals, courtesy lights, air conditioning, heater/defroster, power windows, power top, clock and even the rear drop down window features work. Every year the top and windows were fully serviced by Ken Berger Restorations who is a local classic and antique car expert here in Scottsdale. The only thing that needs attention in the car is the power seat. You can hear the motors working but the power seat gear transmissions just need to be cleaned out as the gear oil gets crystalized inside. We are 90% sure that this is the only thing needed to fix the power seat as this is usually the case with these Lincolns. The black soft top is in very nice condition and fits excellent and inside the truck is also fully finished off to match the interior. All of the rubber in the car is very nice and pliable and all the seat belts are there as well. Overall the interior of this Lincoln is very very nice and it is a true pleasure getting behind the wheel.
Mechanically: *Condition #2-
Mechanically this Lincoln is in top notch condition and runs and drives amazing. It shows 101k miles which we believe to be original. It is powered by its original 430ci V8 engine with automatic transmission. The engine runs and sounds great and the transmission shifts nice and smooth. Under the hood is beautifully detailed, all stock, with chrome plated valve covers and air cleaner as the owner wanted some extra dazzle. The overflow tank has been polished as well and looks gorgeous and ready for any show. The car has been maintained, given tune-ups and anything that was ever needed was always performed. It drives down the road extremely smooth and straight, it brakes straight and is just a really great running and driving car and you can basically drive this car anywhere without ever worrying. Overall this Lincoln is a truly wonderful driving car that needs absolutely nothing.
Under Carriage: *Condition #3
The underside of this Lincoln is very clean and very solid overall. There are a couple tiny spots, that we show in the video, on the underside that are nothing major and could be fixed very easily if you wanted to. The front suspension is nice and clean and tight and the dual exhaust is clean and sounds amazing. Overall the underside of this Lincoln is in very good condition, really solid and really needs nothing.
