When you want the finest, this is THE ONE. This 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible has been restored to the kind of prestation that gets you invited to concourses. So when you demand the best in vintage luxury, power, and prestige, take extra time going over this triple-black icon.
We have a long receipt file documenting over 0k in the frame-off restoration, and we understand exactly why it's worth every penny. After all, this was the year that launched the rolling opulence that is this four-door drop-top. Black is tough to get correct, but actually the key to a top-notch restoration like the one seen here is quite simple. All you need to do is invest heavily in the best paints and a very professional hand applying it. So now every time you take this sunshine-friendly convertible out for a cruise, the daylight radiates off the dark finish like they covered it in a black mirror. And these pictures show how evenly the light rolls off every surface, which means there was obviously plenty invested in the body, too, to make sure this black had the best canvas possible. You can really see the difference that comes from the extra time crafting the restoration. Just look at the way the long sides look nearly seamless over the hallmark suicide doors. Lincoln won major awards for this design, even outside of the car field. After all, in the era of over-done chrome, they integrated it with grace. It's everywhere from the way the front bumper cradles the quad headlights to the trim that crisply defines the full length of the profile. You'll really love the full presentation - right down to the whitewall tires that give this the sophistication of a finely pressed tuxedo.
Open any one of the iconic suicide doors, and you're greeted to an amazing-looking interior. We have receipts for over k from the master at OCD Coachworks just for the interior alone. It's the kind of supple feeling upholstery that Lincoln strived to provide when this was brand new. And because this is a true luxury machine, it's loaded with rarities for its time, including a power front seat, power windows, and the smooth action of the power convertible top. You'll even spot the rare Speed Control dial under the dash for an early version of cruise control. There are more great factory features like the AM radio and air conditioning (both are there to complete the display and can be serviced to return the full function.) The steering wheel has an amazing nostalgic feel, and beyond that is a gauge package that looks like it was made by a jeweler.
If you've been admiring the elegant work to get the interior and exterior back to day-one status, then you'll need to check out the engine bay, too. The large 430 cubic-inch MEL V8 is the correct spec for this car. It has the glossy black look of a fresh full restoration, and so even the colorful and correct decals reflect off the dark metal components. It looks like a time capsule back to 1961, and because this package was fully rebuilt, it also runs like a brand new car. As you look at the undercarriage photos, you really begin to understand the full gravity of what a nut-and-bolt restoration brings. And while this has the comprehensive quality that you could park this artwork in your living room, it also is terrific to have out on the road. The long wheelbase helps deliver a Lincoln-worthy smooth ride. Plus, you have the best easy driving features of the time, such as power steering, power brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission.
This is the year that launched a legend, and this one has been given the big investments to give it legendary status. If you demand the best, you know no other will do.

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
