The "Lincoln's" were why I was invited over, I've been building a 56 Continental Mark II with my Dad for the last 6 months, but we made Dad's a convertible because the factory never officially made one
Technically they are not Lincoln's , they are Continental's
Ford formed a separate "Continental" division just for these cars
here's a pic of Dad's, it should be painted in the next week or so
i should start a build thread , it just doesn't really fit in here on this site
but it's been a full frame off restoration and custom convertible conversion
Wolfman I think your build is cool and sure does belong here, post some more pictures if you have some, Thanks.....oh and if I found a gold mine like that I'd keep it under my hat too! HRD
I can't understand why any car/mechanical/ restore/ from tractors to boats and or planes would not be of interest to many .. hell if uses fuel and moves.. it is of interest to me, may not be my passion but It would still be of interest to any real car guy or Gearhead..so post away..
Thanks guys, I guess I kind of highjacked my own thread
I'll start a build thread in the proper section
The fellow that owns the cars and parts We went and saw has an amazing collection and the cars he's building were awesome
Believe it or not, he knows what every part in there fits and has cataloged a lot of it
There are more than 60 cars in various buildings and some outside
and when he passes they will still be there for another person to build or Hoard..amazing how many stories exactly like this are brought out every week..must be a ton of this chit as of yet still unfound, but it's still out there and will be after were gone..
The owner realizes he will never build all these cars and is willing to part with a few that he is less interested in building
He knows the values of everything in there and wants top dollar
We did make an offer to buy the 3 Mark II's he has and if you notice in the very first pic I posted, there is a white convertible top, that's a 57 Lincoln Premier vert that Dad made an offer on as well but we're a bit too far apart on the prices
He wants to possibly trade some cars for my Dad's 2004 T-bird
So we make be able to make a deal on some cars yet
Even if we don't make a deal on anything, it was a great afternoon spent with a great car guy, the tour of everything was amazing and he was a hell of a nice guy.
His metal work on the cars under construction was superb, a very talented guy
