60 Lincoln Mark V Coupe Starting to inventory the parts: In the garage with the 51 What it looks like together... (can't find good pictures of a coupe, they're ultra rare)
Very cool. Looks like all the hard work is done, the previous owner must have spent a zillion dollars to get those bumpers chromed.
Wow! That thing is monstrous! That would be my favorite! All done, just needs assembly! I hate body and paint work!
The guy was restoring it, lost his job, house, bankruptcy.... It's got a fresh motor, paint, chrome, and has sat in storage for about 3 years. I got it all for much less than he paid to paint. Sucks for him, but I'm sure he is relieved not to be carrying it and the storage costs. All the parts are wrapped up in boxes, with manifests on the outside and just inside the boxes. Stainless and other trim needs polish. The rebuilt motor was bolted up to the trans with no torque converter or flex plate in order to move/store the car. 31xxx original mile car. The guy bought it from a farm where they had connected the spark leads wrong, and left it parked for 25 years behind the barn.
