Description for Lincoln Continental 1961

1961 Lincoln Continental
Built April 17, 961 (The day of the Bay of Pigs invasion, resident Kennedy was a few months in office)

• 1Y82H417065
• 7.0L 430ci 'Marauder' engine
  
• I purchased this Lincoln in August 1987 when I was 15 years old. I am the third owner. This Continental was my first car. After 27 years I hate to part with it but would like to see it go to a new owner who can give it the TLC it deserves.
• Vehicle is complete.
• Needs restoration, fter being garaged for many years.
• Pictures tell the story.
• Engine was rebuilt in 1988 and probably has less than 1000 miles use on it.
• My grandfather and I did restoration work in summer 1988, ncluding a 20-coat lacquer paint job, hich unfortunately has suffered the effects of time and less-than-ideal storage.
• The starter went bad at some point. The starter motor turns but grinds. Needs to be replaced.
• The engine turns freely and with a new starter and some tinkering (new points likely needed) should start right up without any major work needed.
• Trans was good, o issues, hifted fine when last driven.
  
• Carpet was removed in anticipation of replacement.
• Floor and frame are cancer-free. Body, specially trunk lid, as rust-through spots that need addressing (rain had dripped onto one location over time).
• Chrome is in nice shape all around.
• Tires have plenty of tread and are in decent shape, ut with some age cracks.
• Gas tank will need draining (still has old gas).
• Brakes are marginally functional. Need adjustment (wheel cylinders had to be backed off to free up the drums/wheels so the car could move).
• I will include in the purchase a single OEM exhaust longpipe that I purchased years ago but didn't need (not sure which side of dual exhaust it is for).
  
• [Battery shown in pics is NOT INCLUDED in the sale]
  
• Basically this is a solid, omplete Lincoln Continental from the first year with the suicide doors
• Odometer is showing "00670"
  

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL I SELL THIS CAR TO A NON-U.S. BUYER.
