any more pics of the VW? nope, it looked pretty good though aside from the mashed up left rear fender. i couldn't get more pics of it for the same reason there are no pics of the front of the lincoln: the garage was in the way are they selling the stuff in the garage? if so i would be intrested in ...

thanks for the comparison pics Dan

as i was taking the pictures i thought it looked different than the '63 i had, which looks about the same as the 65 you posted. in fact, i was hoping it was a 65 as i don't like the 66+ bodies as much.

there was probably a DMV mixup in the past, thanks for the info

interesting

my neighbor is quite certain it's a 65, i haven't seen the title and didn't look for the ID plate

i jsut put some pictures up here

and the reason i think it's been sitting for 20+ years http://thumb13.webshots.net/t/57/457/3/75/58/2790375580036053013OSzpNn_th.jpg mileage reads 25802 unfortunately the car is encased in that garage, and will not be coming out any time soon as it needs a professional demolition crew. hopefully i, ...

now on to the more promising things: the interior. other than the mildew and mold smell it was in pretty good shape. rear headliner http://thumb13.webshots.net/t/59/559/6/33/55/2461633550036053013HEUzhM_th.jpg front headliner, visors http://thumb13.webshots.net/t/59/659/5/29/99/2544529990036053013mZ...

the hood ornament http://thumb13.webshots.net/t/53/553/5/59/77/2752559770036053013FdHyPs_th.jpg and passenger side: look closely and you can see some body damage on the rear door near the rocker panel. this is the only damage i was able to find on this cursory expedition. http://thumb13.webshots.net...

well, a garage actually in this thread i started to tell the story and last friday i got a chance to take a look. here you can see that, in spite of my hopes of exaggeration, the garage roof is indeed falling down on top of the lincoln http://thumb13.webshots.net/t/53/453/1/88/34/2231188340036053013...

i know it needs pics, i get to see it for the first time after work today. i'll get pics up by monday at the latest

sooo i have been absent from this board for a couple years because i had to sell my '63 continental. unemplyment kicked my ass... anyway, i have a lead on another vehicle and from the verbal description it's one of those "you won't believe what i found in a barn" stories, only it's in a ga...

i would totally drive that, probably wound't buy it though

just for the edification of all... i had to replace the windshield on my '63 with a gasket from one of the usual suspects and the installer said it was a piece of feces. coming up on 2 years later i would agree. the soft corners, which are a different type of rubber than the straight sections are lo...

hi

i can't seem to find my answers with a search so here goes ...

what parts do i need from what year cars to convvert my '63 to front disk brakes?

is it just a matter of finding the correct caliper and bracket or do i need an upright/spindle from a disk brak equipped car too?

thanks
