1964 Lincoln Convertible

Car has been in dry storage for about 43 years. A friend of the family bought the car from the original owner in 1968 ( have cancelled title) and drove the car until about 1971 when he had an issue with the car not starting by the key.  He put the car in a dry garage and did not get the time to fix it. After he passed away. my father bought the car from the family around 1994 and again put it in dry storage.  . Car has 34. 28 miles as shown on the odometer. (see photo). and to my knowledge are original.

My father attempted to fix the ignition issue by replacing the ignition key cylinder. the starter solenoid. plugs. points and condenser which did not resolve the issue. He left the car that way as he had other things going on. That is why the cluster face. glovebox and a few other small items associated to that attempt at fixing are not installed. (seen in photo). He put all fasteners/parts in plastic bags and a box then stored them in the car.

Car has been started several times over the years we have owned it by turning the ignition switch on. jumping the starter solenoid and hooking up a fuel line to a gas can. The car runs very well.  Transmission operates also. Coolant and oil have been drained. new coolant. oil and filter were installed two times. once when bought and once several months ago.  The car was brought out for photos for this ad. put on stands. started and ran for about a half hour with no issue. (as seen on stands in photo).  Car has not been driven as the brakes do not function from sitting so long. Car does roll freely. The windows operate except for the drivers door. Glass is good. Power antenna operates. seat works.  

The power top did work when first purchased but does not as of now. There is no evidence of leaky/faulty pumps/actuators. Top is in nice condition.  There is a little filler at the left side rear wheel well and at the right wheel wells. applied by the previous owner (example seen  in photo). There is a very small rust through at left rear quarter at bottom by rear bumper. Otherwise the body and underside do not appear to have any rust through. No obvious dents. The underside looks to have been undercoated. Interior is very nice with minimal wear. Bumpers. grille. stainless are all there and not damaged. No sign/s of previous accident damage/repaint. The car has not been abused.

I feel the car would be an easy restore or custom. but that is my opinion.  

The background information is to the best of my knowledge/memory. Both persons are no longer alive.

## Update. FYI for bidders.  A gentleman stopped by to inspect the car yesterday afternoon. 3/21/14. and wanted to hear the car run. While attempting to start the car. the starter decided it was to old to function properly anymore. The starter now will only engage occasionally and when it does will only turn the motor over very slowly.
