This 1966 Lincoln Continental convertible is powered by a 462ci V8 paired with a three-speed C6 automatic transmission, and additional equipment includes power-operated white soft top, 15″ steel wheels with full covers, reverse-hinged rear doors, a rear receiver hitch, power windows and door locks, a power-adjustable front bench seat, a tilt steering column, and an AM radio with an 8-track player. Additional work completed after the refurbishment consisted of installing an electronic ignition system, replacing the driver-side fender, convertible top motor, and heater core, rechroming the front bumper, servicing the window mechanisms, and installing an Optima battery.
The hood hinges forward to reveal a 462ci V8 equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, an electronic ignition system, and a blue air cleaner assembly and valve covers.
Corrosion in the battery box was repaired as part of the 1998 refurbishment, and an Optima deep cycle yellow top battery was installed in December 2024.
The engine and chassis ground contacts were cleaned, and the oil, oil filter, and air filter were changed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed C6 automatic transmission and a 3.00:1 locking differential.
The transmission was rebuilt as part of the 1998 refurbishment, and its fluid was replaced and the filter cleaned in preparation for the sale.
The body was refinished in its factory shade of Dark Green Metallic (R) as part of the refurbishment completed in 1998.
Equipment includes a power-operated white soft top, reverse-hinged rear doors, quad headlights, a rear hitch receiver intended for a bike rack, power-operated vent windows, a driver-side mirror, a Lincoln hood ornament, and a Baker’s Automotive stainless steel exhaust system.
The driver-side fender and portions of the front bumper were replaced, and the front bumper was rechromed.
Work completed in preparation for sale included painting and reinstalling a left fender support rod along with replacing the convertible top motor and lubricating the top mechanism.
Steel 15″ wheels wear Lincoln-branded covers and are mounted with 235/75 Cooper Trendsetter thin-whitewall tires.
Equipment includes power-assisted front disc brakes with rear drums, a dual reservoir master cylinder, power steering, and a spare wheel mounted in the trunk.
The cabin features front and rear bench seating that was reportedly retrimmed in its factory shade of tan leather as part of the refurbishment completed in 1998.
Equipment includes a three-way power-adjustable front bench seat, lap belts for six occupants, air conditioning, a heater, bright door sill guards, an analog clock, power windows and door locks, and an AM radio with an 8-track player wired to three component speakers.
Air conditioning and heater controls sourced from a 1967 Continental were installed in 1998, and work completed in preparation for sale have consisted of replacing the heater core and driver’s window motor.
The two-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a tilting column and frames a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer and a fuel level gauge.
The five-digit odometer shows 84k miles, total mileage is unknown.
