Phoenix Gold Phorum

I am selling my Jeep as it is a much too expensive hobby for me and I am getting out of it before I blow any more money on it.

I am starting to look at other projects and I think I have narrowed it down. I want to do something big. Something metal. Something American. Something totally BOSS >:).

I am leaning towards a '66 Continental, but have considered a '62. Or maybe a '68 Cadillac Fleetwood. I like the lines of the Lincoln much more though so I think I will go that way....just not quite sure on the year. Every year in the 60's they had a new front end...not sure which is my favorite yet.....here are some pics.

'66:

You think offroading is less expensive than car restoration? Either way that 62 looks totally bad ass... I would take the '66 wheels with it though.

Just to piss everyone off you should swap a Prius motor into it

lol....I dont plan on "restoring" it. I plan on making it my own. Most of the money will be spent on the paint and interior. I will lower it a bit and put some nice retro wheels on it...maybe white walls....it will be a cruiser.

I dont think a Prius motor would get it out of the driveway....this thing weighs more than 5 priuses probably.

I think the '62 is the best looking of the bunch too....I think I am going that direction.

Lowered a bit with some nice retro wheels and possibly white walls. No 24" spinners here. Re do the seats in a nice leather. Suede headliner. And paint it black with green flake.

Here is the one James drives.

have you thought about a mid 60's impala? I like the 64 SS, but even the base ones are cheap to make look nice.

'62 Linc all the way.

I actually really like the chrome Daytons on it, but thats a personal thing I guess

i've been wanting a 63 for YEARS. they are seriously badass.

of course i've always been a sucker for a 72 caddy hardtop

I've been wanting a Lincoln for years!!!!!

I'm trying to save up some $$$ so I can get one in the next couple years.

I like all of the 60's myself, but a 62-63 is what I'm shootin for.

I like the grill on the '62 and '64....not so much the '63. Doesnt really grab me. The '66 has a nice pissed off look to it as well. Looks like we are all after the same cars....good luck!

yeah, mine is a ways out. i convinced myself that finishing college is a better investment then a Lincoln. not sure what i was thinking

a good education can always buy more lincoln's.

a good lincoln can get you ALOT of ass, though..

Alot of ass IN THE BACK SEAT of said Lincoln.......

There's an electric blue 66' 2dr on 22" wires that runs around P-town and everytime I see that kid he's got 3-4 girls in the backseat.

I've had this Lincoln for about 15 years now.
'69 Mark III w/60K miles.
Drop in a battery and go.
It's a future project.
A Chinese family can live in the trunk .........





I also know where there are two '63's and a '62 sitting doing dick. They are pretty rough, but appear to have a lot of original chrome and trim for anyone building one.

Imagine that...Turkeys in Ottawa!!

since it appears that everyone is also wanting a Lincoln...i have come up with a new "someday" project

59 Cadillac meteor....aka

ecto-1 (and yes i plan on the paint job AND roof effects)

fuck son...the coupe looks even sicker! im in deep deep lust

If that was in 22" chrome wires, id look like a LOWRIDER mag pic. That's just sexy.....
