peecher Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hey guys take a look at this car for sale. It's located in Seattle and needs some TLC. Restored, it would look nice next to your Zephyr.www.glynphotos.com/36lincoln.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceCollins Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Nothing more than a little oil, wax and a good sweeping out needed. A quick weekend job. Looks like something Cecil might tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Cullen Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I would sure like to give it a go, a 36 K model and a 36 Zephyr would be great parked in my stable side by side. Going to Washington for it is a little too much. I'd pay the price being asked though. It looks like about a 5-10 year restoration job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_V12Bill Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 A K Lincoln would be nice in anyones garage. Too bad the current owner didn't store it in his garage. I was talking to a K owner at a GOF Meet and he told me it costs about $15,000 to build up a K V12! And I thought $5,000 for an H V12 was a lot. I don't know who the body builder was on it but the OLD CAR PRICE GUIDE lists a range of $41,000 to $54,000 for a 4 door sedan in condition #1. Given the cost to rebuild a K V12, chrome plating and upolstery, your almost up to maximum that you could recoop. Add body work, paint, tires and a tank of gas and your over budget. I bet the owner turned down legitimate offers 20 years ago that were more than he can get now.BillBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceCollins Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Amen! I watch a 36 Ford go from really good driving shape to being eaten by the Texas dirt over the past 25 years. The guy simply would not sell the car. Was doing to fix it up. Now it is well beyond even salvage for parts. The K would have been a great car, and if you had the money and wanted to just shell it out, still could be. But I looked at K limo for $17K a few months ago that actually ran and looked pretty good for an original car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDale Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Dear Ace,Check out the 37 K Touring Cabriolet in the pre-war section of the clssifieds.I would guess that 37 was first year Lincoln put the headlight into the fender ala Ford.WHAT a GREAT car,have to make the garage BIGGER just to get it in.diz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBoz Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I kind of agree with V12Bill here....You could put more into this car than it's worth to get it back to driveable, much less restored, condition. And my perception is that the market for "Full Classic" four-door sedans is very soft (check out Hemmings some time). Too bad, because this could have been a nice car if someone had taken even reasonable care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceCollins Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I have not interest in the Big K sedan, but hate to see a classic being left out to rot. Recently ran into a 36 Auburn in the same state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8096 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Check out e bay # 4538464946, a 1937 Lincoln K sedan in very nice restored condition with a buy it now price of $33,000. And the one on e bay is a sportier model with no rear quarter windows. A new set of aluminum heads for a 1934 - 1939 K run about $2000. That car in Washington is worth about $4000, but as mentioned earlier here, it would cost more to restore it than it would be worth done. Yet, one would hate to part it out because it is complete.

AceCollins Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Cool car. I talked to a K owner one time, he said he got between 6-9 miles per gallon. That would be fun this day and time. I really do think they are incredible cars, but I think if I could ever afford one I would want a limo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_V12Bill Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 The body appears to be aluminium (you can see silvery base where the paint is peeling off the rear body panel.) The wood frame for the body would have to be done.How much oxidation has occurred to the aluminium panels?Is there enough of the original upolstrey to draw a pattern? My 48 Lincoln Zephyr was in similar condition when I bought it. I did the engine and trans rebuild myself and did all the body work and paint. By the time I paid to have the chrome and interior upolstrey done I had a little more in it than it is listed for in #1 condition. I enjoyed working(playing) on the car for 5 years and can say that I saved another from the crusher, but I am going to have to keep it for 10 years for it to appreciate enough for me to break even .Given the cost of K parts, sadly it may be best to consider this one for parts only.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
