    Looked just like this.....


    That one looks like mine! I have a 58 Continental mark III Convertable 2 door. I think there was 1200 made. I have seen them go for a pretty penny so i am holding on to it. I am restoring it slowly but surely. I bought it at a Storage auction. It had been in that storage since 1970. It had 31000 miles on here. What is funny is, i swapped out the tires, Changed fluids and limped it home. Brakes have been the biggest issue on this thing
    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is the same as calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

    I wish I had a picture of the pink MarkV two door that dad had. I think he sold it for $200 and it ran. But that was 35 years ago.

    I think you should opt for a 351 Windsor EFI and c6 tranny. I'm not sure if a 302 would pull the big sled very well. I bet that car weighs close to 5,000 lbs.

    Im hoping that by the end of the summer, it will be in paint and the drivetrain straight, I want to try to make it to the TURKEY ROD RUN in datona during thanksgiving.

    my plans are simple, either bag it or juice it either way its not going to be a "hopper" like my other linolns have been, just a way to set the hight from ANT DECAPITATION to NOSEBLEED, fairly quickly.

    the one custom coni that I posed with the astro supremes and wide whites is the wheel/tire combo I wanted even before I got this car


    as for the drivetrain, the 302 will work fine, if its in a fullsize truck then it can be in a fullsize car, this car will be built to be driven, everywhere! on vacations and trips, to town and back stuff like that.
