1963 Lincoln Sedan... PRISTINE CONDITION INSIDE/OUT! - $125,000 (San Diego/ Downtown)

Pristine and Properly restored early 1960s slab-sided Lincoln sedans are indeed rare. While more numerous by far than the convertibles, most were not well cared for and driven to unrestorable condition and many were sacrificed as parts cars many years ago. The car presented was purchased by a Lincoln Club owner and has been received a "no expense spared" restoration based upon what was believed to be a dowdy 27,000-mile unrestored vehicle, complete with all original parts except tires and wheel rims (converted at some point to 15-inch wheels and then restored back to factory correct 14 inches.) The color combination was changed from beige on beige to match an advertisement the Lincoln Division ran in 1963: tuxedo black with honey beige interior. A multi-year restoration completely dismantling the entire vehicle to allow the body/paint shop to address minor rust issues (common in all Lincolns of that vintage regardless of location because Ford Motor company did not zinc dip their Sheetmetal) and then carefully repaint the body. All suspension, engine and transmission needs completed, installed new leather seating, a wool carpeting set (passenger compartment and truck), new headliner, new wood inserts and rebuilt all controls and mechanical systems. Also, spent long hours restoring the engine compartment to factory delivered, new car specifications. The result cannot likely be duplicated for less than the asking price: $125,000. Seller is looking for someone who will appreciate an accurate and comprehensive cosmetic and mechanical restoration. If you want such a car to convert it to a resto-mod with a big block engine and a giant stereo system, we kindly ask that you look elsewhere. Clean CA title in hand, always garaged and covered, non-smoker, all records. Pristine Condition! $125,000 Private-Party Sale
