1957 Lincoln Capri

Description

This is a real, true survivor that is very complete. It starts (shifter in neutral not park), runs, drives, and stops well.
The body is very straight with just a couple bubble areas (pictured) and will require minimal pre-paint body work.
All of the glass is good, with no cracks except for a small rock chip on the windshield, and the windows roll up and down as they should.
The interior is all original and in good condition including the headliner. It has the 285HP, 368cubic inch engine.
It has new brakes all around, new wheel cylinders and hose, repacked bearings all around, new sparkplugs, distributor cap and ignition wire set, distributor rotor, repaired all lights, replaced turn signal flasher assembly, repaired and recharged (R-12)the dealer installed A/C unit. The oil and filter have been changed.
The wide whitewall tires are old, but serviceable. The undercarriage and floor pans are in good shape and have been undercoated. It will need new weather stripping.
It should have a repaint of the original bluewhich I believe is Seascape Blue, DUCCO #2491. There is a good deal of documentation on the history of the car and traceable back to the 1980’s. The person that sold it to me indicated that the odometer reading ( current 23,647) is original mileage. I cannot verify that and question it.
The reason for selling is that I have sold the hangar where the car is stored, and I do not have another location for it. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION, with a non-refundable deposit of 0 due within 48hours of the close of the auction. It has a clear Colorado title in my name.
Full payment via cash or wire transfer only is due within 7 days of close of auction.
