Tony’s 1965 Lincoln Continental Hardtop is a “Death Row Lincoln” survivor with a family story and real road miles. Watch the full walk-around, including air ride, stronger brakes, and the yearly Christmas tree run on the roof.
Tony from Death Row Lincolns walks you around his 1965 Lincoln Continental Hardtop, a Texas warehouse find that sat untouched from 1982 until he bought it around 2015 and brought it home to Florida. He explains how this mostly original car still wears its factory interior, original carpet, and elegant hardtop lines, with only the hood and deck lid repainted after the common inside-out rust showed up. You see the 18 by 8.5 inch wheels that echo the stock hubcaps, the air ride that drops the car low for shows, and the rebuilt engine that solved nagging heat issues after decades of use. Tony also talks through his daily work repairing, transporting, and supplying parts for sixties Lincolns, then shares the wild story of chasing this car through a vague Craigslist era ad and a phone number spotted on a stranger’s tree service shirt.
Under the hood, he shows the factory front disc brakes that arrived on 1965 models, then points out the HydroBoost system he built, the Wilwood dual master cylinder, an aluminum radiator, and electric fans that keep this big V8 happy in Florida traffic. Inside the trunk, a finished compartment hides a period style pleasure chest packed with tools, a spare tire cover recreated in the original pattern, and space for an overnight bag, while the rest of the car keeps its honest patina from years of polishing and real use. Tony shares memories of holiday runs with a Christmas tree strapped to the roof, his grandfather’s Sinclair station and Cadillac roots, and how this Lincoln still hauls his family to Thanksgiving and Christmas in comfort while turning every gas stop into a mini car show. If you love sixties luxury and want to see how an original hardtop survives as a true driver, this walkaround and story session will pull you straight into Tony’s Lincoln world. Watch more Two Guys and a Ride videos for New Cars, Classics, Automotive History, Outdoor Toys and so much more.
