Believe it or not, lost in a sea of crossovers and SUVs, two passenger cars are still available in Lincoln's American lineup, the Continental and the MKZ. Truth be told, production of both models ended in 2020, but you can still buy brand new examples that are still on dealers' lots. The Continental starts at $46,305, while the MKZ goes for $36,750 – we told you that so you’d have a point of reference for what you’re about to read below.
What you’re looking at is a Lincoln Continental, a 1963 model year that underwent a major, two-year long restoration process, during which time it also received some significant upgrades.
Work on it was completed not long ago, as the machine shows 1,111 miles (1,787 km) on the clock. According to the available information, $300,000 were pumped into making it as it presents itself now. That’s close to how much it is going for right now, $239,881, which is roughly five times the base price of a present-day Continental.
For that cash, one gets a black over a black convertible fitted with suicide doors and a replacement roof. There’s enough chrome to go around on the outside, a full leather custom interior (worth alone, we’re told, $40k), and an Alpine sound system with Focal speakers for the owner's music needs.
The 22-inch, one-piece wheels look simply dazzling (they ought to, as the price tag for those alone is $12,800), and get their spin from a rebuilt and bored 430ci (7.0-liter) engine controlled by means of an automatic transmission.
The remade luxury car, one we were told was part of “a very high-end private collection” (no details on that are offered though) is for sale on the lot of a Texas-based dealer that goes by the name Earth Motor Cars; it is offered complete with photo documentation of the build. Whether all of that, and all the other things the car has to offer, are enough to justify the price, it’s up for each of you to decide.
