This car is a true survivor. An unrestored Florida car that was bought new in 1975 from a lady in Palm Beach who owned it for 40 years and traded it in to the same Lincoln dealer. It was bought in 2015 by an attorney friend of mine who later sold it to me in 2017. It is in excellent condition with 59k original miles and with exception of the Cartier clock, everything functions perfectly. I purchased the car in bone stock condition and made what I felt were tasteful mods to make it a fun driver. Sadly, personal circumstances force me to sell it.
First, although it has a massive 460 V8 they weren't known to be powerhouses and were choked with emissions. We installed an Edelbrock intake with a 4 barrel Holley carb and a Crane high lift cam to help the engine breathe and also added a true dual exhaust with high flo mufflers. The car sounds awesome, fires up with the first bump of the key and runs like brand new. The AC was also converted to 134a, it has new brakes, new alternator, new plugs, wires and is in excellent running order. Transmission shifts smooth as silk and the automatic climate control, all power windows, locks and accessories work perfectly.
The interior is completely stock, except for the addition of 3M ceramic tint including the windshield to keep that Florida interior cool.
The suspension has been upgraded with 7' Slam Specialties airbags at all 4 corners, twin Viair compressors, aluminum torpedo ping tanks and a Air Lift Performance 3P control system for one touch programmable ride control that can even be operated from your phone. All the original springs, shocks, factory wheels, tires and hubcabs are included so the vehicle can be easily returned to stock if desired. It rides on 20' Mob Steel custom wheels with new tires.
It is a blast to drive, super comfortable and turns heads. It shows the typical wear and tear one would expect for a 59k mile Florida car, but overall is in great condition. Can be driven anywhere!
