Smithy Customs built this 1963 Lincoln Continental at their company in Houston, Texas. The convertible is powered by a supercharged 6.2 L LT4 V8 producing 650 hp (478 kW) and 650 lb-ft (881 Nm) of torque. That is backed by an 8L90 eight-speed automatic transmission and Currie 9-inch rear end. Smithy Customs modified the handling using a power steering rack, AccuAir air suspension, and Baer 13-inch disc brakes. The body features “Gray 8” paint by Painthouse in Houston, Texas and a power convertible top. The finishing touch is a set of Schott Wheels C10 wheels. On the inside you find custom red leather by Innovative Rides in Houston, Texas accented by Dakota Digital gauges and Restomod Air AC system. The classic convertible sold at Mecum for $297,000.
