723hp 1964 Lincoln Continental on eBay = the ultimate sleeper


Lincoln Continentals, especially those of the 60's variety, are the epitome of great styling for the luxury brand. The cars are instantly recognizable and just have that gangster cool look to them. But they are certainly more recognized for their styling and comfort rather than their power and speed.

Which makes this 1964 example the perfect sleeper. Chances are, the guy next to you at a stoplight is more than likely checking out the sultry shape of your ride instead of trying to race you. And when you unleash the 723hp that is nicely hidden under it's enormous hood, the game is on.

And you can experience this, thanks to eBay. This particular example is up for grabs right now, with a claimed $120,000 invested. Currently the bidding is at $30,000 and the reserve has not been met.
