Selling my garage-kept 1968 Lincoln Continental with an original 47,333 mi. in the color Belmont Green with green leather interior. Lots of options, many of them rare. Everything is original except for having installed a Pertronix II setup a recent basic tune up. Does have air conditioning but it doesn't work at this time (I know it at least will need recharge, I've never turned it on).

It was a Minnesota and Iowa car until I brought it down to Georgia. It does not seem to have the telltale signs of having been driven much, if at all, in the winter/rain and the previous owner's father (who was the original owner) only drove it on occasion. I only drove it on sunny days here in the ATL. I did plan on a complete paint job, though, as it does have some rust in the typical spots - but it looks to be surface rust.

Sale includes a spare MEL 462 engine and associated transmission from a 1967 Lincoln Continental, both of which were rebuilt in the late 80's. The engine was running about a year ago but I do not have the equipment to run it to demonstrate - it turns. Also comes with all of the parts you see in the trunk which include a case of oil, a Motorcraft filter, a new timing chain and sprocket, new pushrods, a set of new belts, a new high-volume oil pump and associated gaskets. You also you see the Pertronix box inside of which is the original points/coil. I also include a cover that fits the car perfectly (not shown in photos). I also have a spare front passenger door from the same car the aforementioned engine/tranny came from. I can bubble wrap that and throw it in the trunk for you (it's heavy as sin though). Perhaps you may want that...

The car will not change hands until payment has cleared. Happy to deliver the car, engine, and transmission to you within a 100-mi radius of my house for free. Delivery of the engine will not include the engine stand. Any further than 100 mi. and I'll charge a fee. Delivery by me is at my convenience and will most likely be only on a Sunday.

By the way, the tires are pretty much new (maybe 2,500 miles on them) and the tie rods have been replaced. Yes, it does have a spare tire and the original tire jack kit. No rust on the truck lid (a common problem).

Please see video on YouTube (http://youtu.be/9XTopyw1KZk) (you'll have to copy/paste that link) and photos and let me know if you have any questions. Happy to take photos by request.

If you want to ship the vehicle using a vehicle shipping service, I'm happy to be there for the driver but I can't arrange or pay for shipping for you. I'm nearby Atlanta and off of a major truck route from Florida to the north (I-75) so I'd imagine it wouldn't been all that hard to get the car shipped. It was about $375 for me to ship it from Iowa to Georgia but I can't guarantee that price.

Know that, as with ALL car sales, this is an as-is sale. If you purchase the car sight unseen, you are purchasing an unrestored classic Lincoln in great shape for its age that gets compliments every time it sees the light of day and has won a couple "top 5"-type trophies at local car shows. So long as you pay for the required shipping, you'll also get a spare engine and tranny at no additional cost. Plus all the other parts you see in the trunk. It, like any car, has its issues and I have expressed in the video the issues that I am aware of. I'm not trying to screw people, but do not come back to me whining about something I didn't mention and apparently should have known about (because I'm apparently some know-it-all of every tidbit of everything) - it's a 45 year old car and it needs someone to love it. I'm selling it because, while I do love it, I won't be able to "love, love" it (do all the work I want to do to it) for a couple years and I thought maybe someone might have the time now for it.  I've seen 5 year old cars in terrible shape - this is a really great original Lincoln that you can work on, drive, and still enjoy over time - it ain't no rust bucket POS junk missing key parts. So let's not play that "I want money from you because..." game... it's not happening. Again, this is an as-is unrestored classic car purchase - there are no refunds, no partial refunds, no warranty, and no whining.

Viewings will be scheduled and at a location convenient to me, not where the car is stored for security.  I'm happy to meet you at the ATL airport with the car if the meeting is at a convenient time for me.
