    Cool 1962 lincoln continental....THE GREEN MILE....excessivly long build

    today I found and baught my dream car! as my name implies I like lincolns, so much in fact that I have lincoln tattooed on me!

    for the past 2 1/2 years I have passed by this car thinking man I wish I could afford that, knowing full well if the owner knows how much these cars are worth I wouldnt stand a chance...

    well today I bit the bullet I was determined to find out! so I pulled in after aksing who I needed to talk to, I found the shop owner, I asked him (mind you I havnt even looked at the car up close yet) how much, I cringed, he answered, $300 and its yours! I about @&%*!! freaked!, I dug 300 dollars out my wallet and practicaly threw it at the man!

    Went to go inspect my new aquisition and found a actually decent car, what appears to be a 1962 possibly a 61 havnt decifered the serial numbers yet. Some one started updating the drivetrain with a middle 70's 460/C6 combo, wich I wont keep in favor of the smaller easier to take care of 5.0 powerplan (not going for speed, this is a true lowrider!) the body is actually solid with solid floors, it has only minor rot, but It does need a trunk lid for it (anyone have one? lol) the interior, is there but bad, the carpet is dead as well..

    this has made my day on SO many levels its absurd! I get a hardon just thinking about cruising in this car when finished! I plan on doing this car up right!!

    it still sits at its spot untill next week when I can get my car trailer up there to pick it up.

    if anyone knows of any parts to this car please tell me!!

    thanx guys here are some photos!

    Damn your trunk lid IS shot! but i would have to say i have not seen ANY of them around up this way and the ones i DID were almost rotted to the ground. I'm sure a grinder, a welder, sheermetal, and alot of patients i think you could fix (used lightly) that poor lid and still have a half way original lid!

    syko, when I was 16 I begged my mom to let me sell my car to pick up one of those...it was all original, except the interior, which had been replaced with white leather...every part of it. black paint, white leather...damn.

    like 60 thousand original miles or so...the kicker was it was for 5 grand.

    what you have there is a damned good start on one of my dream cars. amazing find man.

    My Dad sold his 1960 MkV 4 Dr with 66K miles, all original, all mint, been parked for 12 years. Black inside and out. Here is the bad part, he sold it for 5K. It needed paint, but just paint no body work....

    Looked just like this.....

    1985 250R - Venom....
    1984 250R- Resto
    1996 TRX200D - Workin' for a livin'
    Oh, and a Harley...

    hate hearing stories like that salleen....brings an ol' tear to the eye.... hopefully it found a good new home and its cruisin away still. I plan on keeping this one forever, one day many many years down the line when one of my kids asks "dad can I have your lincoln" I will say "you'll have to dig it out of the ground after I die! cuz my dead ass will still be in it!" "NO YOU CANT HAVE IT!" lmfao!
