Guest bensimons Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 New member here. I was hoping to get some opinions of this 1941 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet, that was recently found. It appears to be in very original condition. Has all running gear, and motor. Motor does not turn over, found rust on spark plug in front p/s cyl. All other plugs looked very clean. Also found oil in radiator. Seems to be blown head gasket?Original paint, interior, perhaps top. A very complete and easily restorable car?Also have parts.Full set of fendersHood3 engine blocks1 crankvarious iron heads1 transmission1 complete rear axleseveral aluminum intakeshubcaps / trim rings1 nearly complete engine - condition unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldren Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 The body number seems to be 16H-56-233 Looks like a real find. Aluminum heads? I have had V_12 blow head gaskets and that is a minor repair. WaldrenIs the V-12 motor that is listed for sale. I just bought a 42 with a V-8 so I'm looking for a V-12. I'm in Fort Myers, Fl.

Guest bensimons Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 The V12 out of the car may be for sale, depending on more in depth analysis of the one in the car that is seized. The heads on the motor in the car are iron. There are also two other set oof iron heads but I need to take a closer look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldren Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) The body number seems to be 16H-56-233 Keep me in mind for the motor. smiley303us@yahoo.com. The oneoutof thecar isfine. Lee I worked at an uoholstery shop in Ohio that bought and sold Lincoln Continentals we had 10 at one time in the 70's. One had a stuck v12 and we removed the spark plugs and filledit with diseal fuel and we would put it in gear and rock it back and forth until about a week it came loose. We drained the oil and cranked the motor with the starter. Installed the plugs and it started smoked like mad we drove the car for over a year and never had a problem with it.

Waldren Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I worked at Reliable from fall of 1950 till February 1982. I was 10 years old when I started training for upholstery. I still do upholstery on weekends and evenings. I have all my L.C. patterns and would be happy to do any upholstery or help you in anyway.
