Exterior and Interior
This 1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible’s exterior remains in its original color of brilliant white, whilst riding on a set of gorgeous aftermarket black powder coated vintage style wheels wrapped in new tires with only a few hundred miles reported to be on them. The original hubcaps are also available. The interior is garnished in a mellow Saddle Brown color, perfectly communing with the white exterior. What made the 1965 Lincoln Continental distinctive was the use of fancy ‘suicide’ or ‘coach’ doors, where the rear doors are rearwards-hinged, rather than the traditional front-hinged installation. The electric top of this Continental is reported to be functioning too. Furthermore, this Continental has seen a modern upgrade in the audio department in the form of an aftermarket sound system which includes two 10” under seat sub woofers and 8 speakers scattered throughout the vehicle, a treat for any audiophile. Some maintenance records are also available though not all, also most of the original paper work is also available.
Engine

The powerhouse MEL engine was able to produce 315hp at the time. The MEL motor has a storied history in hot-rodding proving its endurance and versatility and serves to move this large luxury car in an appropriately stately and effortless fashion.
