Details

This 1962 Lincoln Continental custom sedan is powered by a new 6.4-liter 8-cylinder HEMI crate engine that puts out 470hp and 470 ft/lbs of torque, paired with a modern GM 4L60E 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission turning a Currie 9-inch rear end with 3.50 gear ratio and Truetrac. The drivetrain features a custom-machined bellhousing, aluminum radiator and ceramic-coated exhaust manifolds. The build was based on a rust-free 1962 Continental. The body was refinished in the original color of Silver Mink with emblems removed, bumpers rechromed, stainless trim polished, new windshield and clear UV window tint film all around. It was lowered 1 inch all around and received new springs and shocks, complete front end rebuild kit, 4-wheel disc brakes, polished and powder-coated 20-inch Centerline California Smoothie wheels, BFGoodrich radial T/A tires, cooling ducts for the front brakes and a custom dual-exhaust system. The front seat was converted from a full bench to 60/40 with GM electric seat motors on both sides. The Silver Mink exterior is complemented by new black leather upholstery. The vacuum door locks were converted to electric, the gauges refurbished by Redline Gauges. It has LED lighting, new carpet and new weatherstripping. The custom Kicker audio system with remote-controlled head unit is enhanced by Lizard Skin sound proofing. Additional features include Mopar PCM and wiring harness for easy service, Mopar air conditioning compressor, cruise control, powder-coated fuel tank, custom seat belts with aircraft-style buckles, body-color skinny 4-inch spare wheel for more trunk space, remote door locks and start, emergency hood release and paint protection film on the header panel. It also has Bluetooth, alloy wheels, power locks, power seats, power steering and power windows. The fabrication and overall craftsmanship of this custom took a great number of hours, and it has been showcased in Street Rodder magazine and Hot Rod Network magazine.
