The 63 came about by accident.
I wanted to buy a 1960 Lincoln from Canada, but it was just too much
mucking
around, whether i sent it to Vancouver or Long Beach(USA), so i let that
car
go.
I still want to buy a 1960 Lincoln, but will wait till there is 1 closer
to
California.
So the fellow that was going to ship the Lincoln over if i had purchased
it,
sent me some pics of the 63 Polara, and said it had just arrived into
Australia and was i interested?
I said i would give it a miss, as i wanted a 1960 Lincoln.
Anyway, after a few weeks, looking at the pics (daily) of the Polara, i
thought "why not"
So he shipped it by truck down to my house.
My polara was only in Australia for about 6 weeks sitting in a shed till
i
purchased it.
And from what i can work out, it has not been registered since 1973 and
sat
in a very "unsealed shed" since then (so im told).
I think shipping time from Long Beach CA to Sydney Australia is about 6
weeks, but i dont know if that is direct or stopping at other ports on
the
way down under?
I still am on the lookout for a 1960 Lincoln if any body knows of one
for
sale?
