This 1968 Lincoln Continental sedan is finished in Teal Metallic over a black interior. Powered by a 460ci V8 linked with a three-speed automatic, it has power steering, front disc brakes, power windows, a power-adjustable front bench, an AM radio, and air conditioning with automatic temperature control. The vehicle was acquired out of Texas by the selling dealer, and it shows 69k miles. This Continental sedan is offered in South Carolina by Competition Cars, a BaT Local Partner, with an owner’s manual, service records, and a Texas title.
The body was finished at the factory in Teal Metallic (U), and it was repainted under previous ownership. Exterior details include a black vinyl roof, a driver-side mirror, a power antenna, and rear-hinged rear doors. A ding in the passenger-side rocker molding and some touched-up paint blemishes are noted by the selling dealer.
Power steering was standard equipment, and vacuum-assisted front disc brakes are paired with rear drums for stopping power. The 15″ steel wheels feature polished covers, and they are mounted with Milestar thin-whitewall tires.
The black interior has button-tufted upholstery, a power-adjustable front bench, power windows, manual vent windows, an AM radio, and air conditioning with automatic temperature control.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer, which has a five-digit odometer showing 69k miles.
The 460ci V8 was equipped at the factory with a four-barrel carburetor. The selling dealer tells us that the engine bay and undercarriage were steam pressure-washed in preparation for the sale, and metal components were refinished.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a differential with 2.80:1 gearing. Records for Ziebart rustproofing accompany the car, and they are shown at the end of the gallery below.
