lincoln v-12 questions

[wes]

a friend of mine is building a 41 lincoln zephyr and has the v-12 sitting around. just trying to find some info on it and maybe what its worth. its not exactly somthing that pops up every day.

Don't know much about 'em except that's what was in the original Hot Rod Lincoln! If you listen to the original song (Charlie Ryan singin') he says "Got 12 cylinders and uses 'em all"!

Probably worth more to a restorer.
Look on hemmings.com
Or look for Lincoln Zepher owners clubs on line,they might have a classified section.
The power to weight ratio is probably not very good.And parts would be a bitch.
But it would look good in a roadster. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Anybody got pix of that blown Lincoln V12 that Castlemain was working on?

There were also some pix floating around of some full dress versions.

Charlie Ryan and his old buddies call them motors "silver dollars" because of the small piston size. Weight may be a factor also...........OLDBEET

Wes-

I would recommend you ask the guys over at the Lincoln Zephyr's Owner Club. (http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=UBB35) They tend to be a bunch of restoheads but would be able to give you a rough idea of the value of that motor. Hell you may even find a buyer.
