RARE AS YOU ALREADY KNOW. SOLID SOUTHWESTERN CONVERTIBLE WITH A PERFECTLY RUST FREE UNDERCARRIAGE.

BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE.

I bought this gorgeous Bermuda Blue Lincoln Continental convertible just over a year ago. So excited was I to have my first 1963 (the year I was born) Continental Convertible. I have seen many of them over the last 28 years in the business. but I either could not afford them or they were rust buckets and I had no intention to buy a builder. I love superb driver quality cars; the kind you can take to any show. be respected for the quality but also drive it there if you feel like it. So my priorities are simple. I hate rust. I don't like leaks all over my driveway and I want all the important items functioning. So when i bought this beauty. off to the shop she went. Her overall condition was fantastic. a solid southwestern survivor but she had leaks all over the engine and transmission. the top only partially worked and almost every window switch was broken. Next step. pull the drivetrain. reseal it and fully service the running gear. dang. that took more than my budget imagined. Then over to our local convertible top and power window specialist. This was one hell of an ordeal. Switches were replaced and rebuilt. lots of them. I thought the engine was expensive. HA! There is a big financial reason you will see plenty of Continental Convertibles online WITHOUT working tops. BIG PESO. But like I stated earlier. function is my priority.  This car starts. runs and goes down the road. turning heads at every corner and increasing in value every year.   Power windows. locks. factory cruise control and a lot more make this Lincoln one of the best optioned Continentals you'll ever find.   Shiny paint. a smooth body. an absolute knockout interior and mechanically awesome; this extremely rare convertible is sure to impress your entourage . . .

After spending thousaands for new top. service & installation and several hundred more on hard to find servos and limit switches. this convertible top now functions as it should . . . and absolutely gorgeous.

 

 

Rear bumper is new rechromed. wipers work and all exterior lights are clear and bright . . .

 

Exterior bright work look great and all glass is in outstanding condition . . .

 

 

There is no other shape in the world like the top-down profile of an early '60s Continental convertible.   In 1963. only the rich and famous were seen in Lincolns; a loaded convertible could often be nearly three times the price of a new Galaxie.   This slab sided. recognized Milestone Classic today is one of the most desired vintage luxury convertibles of all time. Always in high demand. an original drive train. unmolested beauty like this is the car collectors look for.   Continental convertibles are also pop culture icons and prices are sure to increase for a quality driver with an interior this nice . . .

 

Pretty to look at and prettier still to sit in. touch and enjoy. they just don't do interiors like this anymore.   Upholstery is great. door panels are awesome. bright work is gorgeous and the showroom dash doesn't have a single crack . . . even our sweet model Kendal enjoyed the easy drivability of this Lincoln.

 

 

 

Pretty over here too and this is one of the very few cars that can seat six in actual comfort . . .

 

 

Not just pretty to look at. ok. yes. she is. but that engine is original to the car. resealed. purrs like a kitten and drives like a dream down the road with modern reliability.

The book values posted are high retail figures for vehicle that DO NOT represent #1 cars. but high quality vehicles as stated below. If you don't want to pay this kind of money then real simple. tell me what you will pay. People ask me all the time what's my "bottom line" and yet they have no intention of giving me an offer even when I tell them. That is why I auction my cars online. Although. 99% of my cars sell to respectable serious buyers that call up and make me fair offers before the auctions even close. I am the owner. I bought the car for my business. made it as right as you see and we disclosed. so giving bottom lines. to non-buyers it just plain dumb. Your money is in your pocket and you know what you are willing to pay despite my hopes. costs or bottom lines. Just make a fair intelligent offer. I already know you've done your homework and you know what it takes to buy quality. here it is just in time for Santa to put it under your tree. Pick up your phone and let's make a deal. Let's not waste my time or yours. I will sell to serious buyers. but tire kickers just bug the hell out of me.

 

 

 

A note from the owner.

I am a “used car dealer” but before that. I'm an automobile enthusiast.   I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I've been in business. have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand. high value vehicles.   I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners.   I have an experienced eye for quality but I've discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore. built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.   Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you. the bidder. that this is an above average. exceptional vehicle.   If nothing about the car excites me. it probably won't do much for you either and I would soon be out of business.

With just four employees and no sales people. I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear.   It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often. an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list.   To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris. owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson. Nevada has my back.   He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name. no job is too big and no small detail unimportant.   They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation.   Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price. but a happy customer that says good things about me.   Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence. something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true.   If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell. my choice is an easy one.   I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction.

After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom. my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay.   He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch. researches its history and documents originality and authenticity.   Historical significance. rarity. special features. possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.   Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself.   The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I've developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch.   I provide detailed views of the interior. under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.   Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean.   This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I've converted a paint booth. especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives.

Usually. I'll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing.   If it's a fast car. we film it going fast.   If it's a 4x4 you'll see it crawling up a hill.   In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust. working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital. laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent.   How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty?  We do.

No “dealer. on-line or in the real world. takes it to this level.   No other seller or organization provides you. the buyer. with so much information.   I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away. unable to touch or feel their purchase. that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth.   All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact.   I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay.   To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it.

If you have any questions at all. please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500.   If your inquiry is sincere and your offer  serious. you'll find me the most accommodating business partner you've ever dealt with.   If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation.   Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger. I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so. don't waste your time. or mine.   I am after all. a “used car dealer. ”

Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer.   I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number.

If you hit the reserve. the decision is no longer mine.   I must sell at that number.
