Yep. It's a 1966-67 model, but mine is a '67, last of the breed. 2300 made that year, they weighed 5600LBS, more I think that a R-R Phantom V. 462 cubic inch engine, I think that's right at 8 liters...126" wheelbase, 226" overall length. Could cruise all day long at VERY illegal speeds-I've had mine to 110 indicated, & it wasn't done yet. They had room inside for 5 big people, stretch out legroom in the rear, something that's largely forgotten nowadays. A Yank Tank par excellence ! The 1966 & '67 models were essentially identical, bar some minor differences in the grille. Lincolns were cars unto themselves, very little interchanged between them & other FoMoCo products. From 1961-69, they had a frameless "Unit" body construction that they shared w/the T-Bird til '67, when T-Birds were built off the basic big Ford sedan frame.
