Thank you for looking at our 1956 Lincoln Mark 11 I purchased this car 3 years ago from a gentleman who got it from
a family friend that passed away. When I went to purchase this car I met my mechanic, who works on all my old cars,
to inspect it with me. I was most concerned about the frame, because these cars are known for having bad frames. He
looked underneath it and told me it needed a little bit of work on the front frame but the rest of the frame was
fine. He put the car in his car carrier and said it would be ready in 3 to 4 weeks. Two months later, I called him
and asked "Where's my car?". He said that when he was underneath the Lincoln there were also some rust spots on the
main frame and he already tore it apart as a process of fixing it. I was not happy. He dragged his feet for 2 and a
half years to finish the car. Finally, he called me and told me it was done and I could pick it up the next day. At
that point, he had replaced the whole main frame (both sides), and fixed the front frames on both sides where they
went bad. And with all the work done correctly it was probably better than new. He also ran all new brake lines and
gas lines and replaced wheel cylinders, springs and other parts in the brakes. He also replaced the fuel pump,
tuned it up and rebuilt the carburetor.
This is what was damaged on the car:
-Passenger's side paint peeled off
-Needs a front window and 3 side windows
-Will probably need some new rubber in the door
Outside of that, it's good.
I'd also like to mention that all the chrome and all the aluminum is fine and there is no warpage in any door or
fender. When this thing blew up the mechanic ran outside and pulled the car out with a chain with his truck so
there was not that much damage actually done. I also would like to mention 3 years ago a new gas tank was put on
and 4 new tires that have less than 100 miles on them and within the last 2 months, I rebuilt the starter, put in a
new battery, and replaced the oil ring for the filter. I also would like to mention that I have the original radio
that goes with the car and the owners manual. You can get in this car now, start it up and drive it down the road.
It shifts correctly, the brakes are good, and there's not one rattle in the car. This car will need a total paint
job to bring it back to where it should be and also will need new carpeting and interior because the carpet is not
good.
The 57, 000 miles are actual, it's an all matching numbers car, the title is clean as it shows in the slideshow and
it has the rare factory air conditioning option. Both front and rear bumpers are still in very very clean condition
for being 60 years old. We hope that someone will purchase this car from us that will restore it and take it to the
next level because these 56 Lincoln Mark 2s were in very limited production, and the ones that are still left
around should be restored for generations in the future to enjoy.
