A Stunning Cruising Car!

This car has been in dry, rodent-free storage for more than 15 years. We bought this car two years ago and have done extension mechanical work on it including:

  • New power convertible top with real glass rear window
  •  Complete mechanical review
  •  Power steering box rebuilt

The car is yellow with a black convertible top and interior. The interior is original and in great shape, no cracks for cuts in the leather. 

It’s equipped with one of GM’s most reliable engines, 462 cu in with 4-barrel carburetor that has only 89,000 miles on it. Some of the options on this car are:

  • Factory air conditioning;
  • 50/50 split front bench seat;
  • Power windows that all work; and
  • Power convertible top with real glass rear window that works!

The bright work on this car is outstanding. The bumpers and all chrome are in excellent condition and sparkle in the sun. The car is dent and ding free, and appears to have no rust.

Very reliable car that gives you the power of a muscle car and the pleasure of a convertible. 

More on this car

These cars have been doing nothing but climb in value and popularity based on their incredible lines and the fact that they have been seen on television and in the movies. These cars are nothing short of incredible to drive and enjoy. It is a large car with a fully automated convertible top and suicide doors. Take the whole family or friends on a trip down memory lane or out for ice cream!

For 1966, the Lincoln Continental was given a wheelbase that measured four-inches larger than the previous year's platform. They were again well optioned with an automatic transmission, power seats, power steering, front disc brakes, power windows, windshield washer, and carpeting. The Continental was available as a four-door sedan, four-door convertible or a 2-door hardtop coupe. With a wheelbase that measured 126-inches, there was plenty of interior room, with seating for six.

Other noticeable styling changes for 1966 including the return of the turn signals to the bumper. The bumpers now extended to the front tire openings. The taillights no longer wrapped around the rear fenders, which marked the first time this occurred in five years for the Lincoln 

The most popular body style was the sedan, which saw 35,809 examples sold. The rarest is the convertible, which saw a mere 3,180 units sold. 15,766 customers selected the hardtop coupe as their mode of transportation at a factory base price of $5,485. The Sedan sold for $7,750 while the Convertible retailed for $6,380. Nearly every car that left the factory was fitted with the optional air conditioner - a $500 option.

Lincoln plans electrified versions of all models by 2022, say sources

Fri, Sep 8 2017

DETROIT - Ford Motor Co's premium Lincoln brand plans to offer hybrid gasoline-electric versions of all its U.S. models by 2022, according to three sources familiar with the plans. Details could be announced as early as Oct. 3, when Ford Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett plans to update investors on the automaker's strategy. Company officials are also considering whether to introduce one or more all-electric Lincoln models, one source said. The proposed electrification scheme could be critical to Lincoln's future in China, which will require automakers to make electric vehicles an increasing percentage of their total sales. The Lincoln hybrids are part of a broader Ford program to offer at least 18 new electric and hybrid models over the next five years, the sources said. Lincoln aims to follow a path blazed this year by several European premium brands, including Daimler AG, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group's Volvo Cars, BMW and Jaguar Land Rover, all of which have announced plans to offer more hybrid and all-electric vehicles. Global luxury brands are responding to competitive pressure from Elon Musk's Tesla Inc, and proposals by the Chinese government to mandate significantly higher levels of electric vehicle sales in the world's largest auto market. The plan to offer a portfolio of Lincoln hybrid models was crafted before Hackett took over in May, the sources said. Ford said in January 2016 it would spend $4.5 billion to electrify a portion of its U.S. fleet, including hybrid versions of the Mustang and the F-150, and at least 11 other models. The extent of its electrification effort, including details on specific new and redesigned models, has not previously been disclosed. A Ford spokesman said the company would not comment on future products. As the Lincoln brand rolls out redesigned versions of its existing models and introduces at least one new model, it is planning to introduce plug-in hybrid versions of those vehicles, beginning with the redesigned MKC crossover and the new Aviator crossover in 2019, the sources said. The redesigned Lincoln Navigator utility vehicle, which goes on sale this autumn, is expected to add a conventional hybrid version in 2019. Subsequent redesigned Lincoln models, including the MKZ sedan in 2020 and the Continental sedan and MKX crossover in 2022, are expected to include plug-in hybrid variants, the sources said.
