1960s Lincolns rule. The slab sides, the length, the rumble from an MEL engine through the pipes as the car cruises around…we are all about these Elwood Engel-designed beauties. After Lincoln had found themselves in a bad way with the 1958-60 model cars (they lost $60 million on the third-generation cars) the fourth-gen had to be reduced in size from the monsterous twenty-foot length that the 1958 Continentals sported and needed to be built to a high quality standpoint to sell. And sell they did. The four-door droptop is most known but two-door sedans appeared in 1966 to compete with the Imperial Crown Coupe and the Cadillac Coupe de Ville. Under the hood would normally be a 462ci MEL V8, but not here. The license plate, I SHOCK, is perfect for this Lincoln. The MEL has been tossed in favor of a Barra 4.0L inline six turbocharged unit that will easily match the power output of the old engine…at least, until the beast of a new bullet that the owner is currently getting together gets shoved under the hood instead. Will it run? Oh, yeah, but the sound isn’t quite up to par, it seems!
