Who knows about 60's Lincoln Continentals?

I hear ya -- not many 4 doors I am interested in either, but I did like our 4 door 63 Nova wagon we had for a couple years.

That's what I was thinking too, Mike. Looking for a hardtop actually, as cool as a convertible would be. Thanks.

Watched this vid again today, and wow, Jay’s guest, John Cashman, who has 40 years experience just on the 61-67 Continentals, covers so much ground on the shared features/systems on the hardtops too. For Leno to do a 50 minute vid is unusual, but the content is that good imho. Tough to not be enthusiastic about the 61-69 Continentals after watching it, even as complex as they can be.

Those cars can be a mechanical nightmare imho, especially the early years. I would never own one FWIW.

I worked on a lot of them back in the day.

I actually had 66 for short time. Mine had the 430 motor. It's not unusual to have main bearing rattle in those.

I swear the intake manifold must weigh 100 pounds
