Restoration Work

Mr. Brian Ventura, the former owner of my 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III, did a lot of restoration work after he bought the car - so there was not much left to do for me ;-)

In the 9 years Brian had the car, the following work has been done:  

• rear brakes rebuilt,  
• transmission rebuilt,
• new water pump,
• correct stainless steel exhaust system from Baker's Auto (another Lincoln restoration and parts company),
• NOS Ford A/C compressor and clutch - charged with R-12 freon,
• new heater core,
• engine removed,
• heads rebuilt with hardened valves and seats for unleaded gas,
• new headlight cover vacuum motors,
• front door window tracks cleaned and re-lubed,
• one new window motor (the right door),
• good used rear window motor assemblies installed (you have to completely remove the rear interior to replace those!),
• rebuilt steering gear,
• new correct size radial tires,
• engine painted and engine bay detailed and with all the correct decals, correct radiator hoses and clamps,
• new washer pump and reservoir,
• new correct battery cables and battery tray.   
• A new headlight switch that I haven't installed.

• new speakers
• new inside rear view mirror
• new rubber bellows for the cruise control
• front seat got new foam underneath
• new alternator
• new carburetor
• new battery

Brian even went so far to have some minor things repaired after I already bought the car and before it was picked up. Try to find a seller who does such things for you! Thanks Brian!
