barn find Lincolns

Friend of my brothers called him and asked about some old cars and parts,,so they went have a look see. Turns out to be 47 Lincoln Convert,,and a super rare 1942 Conti.( only 200 made ),,Couple v-12s,,Front ends like a dozen Lincoln transmissions
Dashes etc,etc Guess the person who passed away was a Lincoln nut,,and looks like they now have alotta stuff to move

 

It's amazing what people rathole away thinking that someday they'll do something with it. The wife asks me all the time what I'm going to do with all the stuff I hae stored away...I tell her it's my life insurance policy!

 

Man, those old Lincolns sure were ugly.

Grab the steering wheels and run! And don't look back.

 

Personally I think they are a cool. Wish I had the coin to buy the vert.

 

What a mess, What a shame...

 

so ya' gonna grab all that shit or what? that convertable got to be worth some coin, and those engines, wow! you know someone's got a boner for 'em.

 

Thanks for posting Little Wing. I've never seen a 42 Lincoln!

 

I would love to be able have the money to buy and build a v12.... It would look killer in a fenderless coup just my .02

 

Yes they did make on it all..I'm told theres just speedos ,,radios etc etc parts in boxes and cabinets

 

I love V12s..them lincolns are cool too

 

""What a mess, What a shame...""

they look fairly well preserved to me. not seeing what's the shame about that.

 

I owned a 1941 Zephyr before moving to Tempe AZ but I have rebuild over the years a dozen of them and I am now rebuilding another V12 for a 1938 Zephyr one of my customer in Tucson AZ. Open car look kool with V12.

Thanks

Wow --- I went over yesterday to a friend of mine to see how he was doing, He is a collector with about 20 cars and he just purchased the same Lincoln ( not convert ) in un restored cond. but in perfect shape and running ... small world

 

is there a diffference between a lincoln convert and a cabriolet
My dad has a 42 cont. cabriolet and they only made 136
rare bird none the less and worth picking up for sure
let me know if they want to part with any of it
tk

 

Yeh not the nicest looking car but still nice find the only redeeming quality is that flathead V-12

 

The 42 I'm told is really good ,,the vert needs floor work but not tragic.( as well as what you can see ).few aluminum intakes and all ...I already called dibs on the front axle

 

That's the same axle we have on the front of our HA/GR. Looks great with a bunch of holes in it.

 

Those transmissions are the way to O.D in your Flathead/torquetube Ford.

 

...yeah, ugly as sin...that's why the more sophisticated among us love them.......

 

I've got an uncle down in So Cal goes by the name of Mrerv Adkins. He's probably one of the largest collectors of Early Lincoln stuff on the West Coast. If you're looking for rare or hard to find parts PM me and I'll send you his cell number.

 

Opinions are like u know whats......

 

nice flatheads

 

You are EXACTLY right!

 

thats obsurd.

 

this guy here in iowa has a junkyard and he has a couple barns full of old cars
