1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars

A Stunning Cruising Car!

This car has been in dry, rodent-free storage for more than 15 years. We bought this car two years ago and have done extension mechanical work on it including:

• New power convertible top with real glass rear window
•  Complete mechanical review
•  Power steering box rebuilt

The car is yellow with a black convertible top and interior. The interior is original and in great shape, no cracks for cuts in the leather. 

It’s equipped with one of GM’s most reliable engines, 462 cu in with 4-barrel carburetor that has only 89,000 miles on it. Some of the options on this car are:

• Factory air conditioning;
• 50/50 split front bench seat;
• Power windows that all work; and
• Power convertible top with real glass rear window that works!

The bright work on this car is outstanding. The bumpers and all chrome are in excellent condition and sparkle in the sun. The car is dent and ding free, and appears to have no rust.

Very reliable car that gives you the power of a muscle car and the pleasure of a convertible.

For 1966, the Lincoln Continental was given a wheelbase that measured four-inches larger than the previous year's platform. They were again well optioned with an automatic transmission, power seats, power steering, front disc brakes, power windows, windshield washer, and carpeting. The Continental was available as a four-door sedan, four-door convertible or a 2-door hardtop coupe. With a wheelbase that measured 126-inches, there was plenty of interior room, with seating for six.

Other noticeable styling changes for 1966 including the return of the turn signals to the bumper. The bumpers now extended to the front tire openings. The taillights no longer wrapped around the rear fenders, which marked the first time this occurred in five years for the Lincoln 

The most popular body style was the sedan, which saw 35,809 examples sold. The rarest is the convertible, which saw a mere 3,180 units sold. 15,766 customers selected the hardtop coupe as their mode of transportation at a factory base price of $5,485. The Sedan sold for $7,750 while the Convertible retailed for $6,380. Nearly every car that left the factory was fitted with the optional air conditioner - a $500 option.
