1961 Lincoln Continental Base Description

1961 Lincoln Continental RAT ROD BAGGED on 22's CUSTOM Suicide door Sedan- Perfect Black Cherry Patina Original Paint 75K - Miles Numbers Matching ( Recently Rebuilt Motor and Transmission) Perfect Driver- Runs & Drives Great 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY no problem ( Drove Car 2 hours recently from Chicago To Wisconsin for a large car show) Sounds throaty and tough with the Magnaflows/Flowmasters- TRUE BAD AZZ Rat Rod Classic.
Bad to the Bone- Breaking necks every time you drive. This car relates to all - therefore more attention than any other car on the road. I can honestly say everyone who see's it just wants to have it. It a time capsule that is so fun to drive and has that LOOK that is priceless. The elements and use over time has given this Lincoln a killer look on a killer stance Car is 100% original less the wheels, tires, brake pads, wires, plugs, Edelbrock carburetor ( which I have the original), & Flowmaster Stainless Exhaust. and of course your triangular 3 link rear end with bags, CCS switches, Viair Twin Compressors, Whole air ride system including Bags on all 4 etc.
Has over 22K invested into undercarraige restore, axle, air ride, switches, fab work, etc.. car has the look and needs nothing to those who know what a rat rod is... Either you love it or you don't. Those who appreciate this understand how hard these are to come by in this condition supporting this style. Radio works, horn works, and the Windows. Doors Open and close as they should.No rust in the door jams, Minor MINOR surface rust ( looks irreplaceable) - nothing that affects the cars structure- all is purely cosmetic and supports the character the car portrays. All trim, Badges, etc is in tact and looks straight and shiny. Chrome is nice as well and compliments the paint -
This is a perfect driver or a start to an aggressive custom on this all steel 18 foot long Bar Cruiser. Fit 4 so comfortable with a lot of head room and foot space.( doors sills and shape of body make for the most comfortable are rest with your arm out the window) . Car is at stage you can keep as is and enjoy for many years to come or use it as a canvas to make your own by putting a Custom Paint Job on it and having your beautiful custom pro touring resto mod classic
Serious inquiries only - this is a one in a lifetime find and are becoming more rare and in demand. All the hard work and expensive work has been completed. Call or text John with any questions you may have : 630-688-6888 ..I prefer to speak to the new owner prior to the auction ending. Car is bad ass as is and gets crazy attention. This is a Rat Rod Drive, not a shiny classic. This car does not have a perfect paint job ( it has perfect patina)- it has a ton of character and shows its age V8 cylinder engine
Clear Title in Hand- Car runs and drives - Can Deliver......GOOD LUCK!!!

QUESTION FROM BUYER:
The undercarriageis perfect and the floors are 100 percent perfect. There is zero rust on the underside of the unibody..... Has been completely restored correctly. The paint and surface of car was left alone and is original.
