BODYWORK/TRIM

The first generation of Lincoln's famous Z-car is easily one of Detroit's most handsome creations. It elegantly perfected the famed 'teardrop' design vocabulary on the way to becoming a mainstay at America's finest establishments. Approaching this professionally modified Zephyr, it's difficult not to be taken with the car's sinuous profile. Original Henry Ford steel was essentially perfected during a 5-year, no expense spared restoration. That detailed process saw the car fully stripped and carefully chopped by 5.5 inches. And when everything was smooth and solid, a rich coat of glossy black 2-stage was sanded, buffed and selectively re-chromed.

ENGINE

Fitting perfectly under a custom, shaker-inspired cowl, the car's spry 350 is almost as fun to look at as it is to drive! That faux shaker feeds a polished air cleaner, which rides a modern Holley carburetor that's fitted with a trusty Lokar throttle linkage. Beneath that carb, an aluminum, bowtie-branded intake bolts between a polished bowtie oil cap, a polished bowtie breather, polished bowtie valve covers and cast GM heads. At the back of of that intake, a proven HEI distributor shoots spark through quality GM Performance Parts plug wires. Beneath those cables, cast exhaust manifolds ensure the block breathes well. At the front of those tubes, a pliable serpentine belt spins a modern alternator opposite a modern AC compressor. And a beefy aluminum radiator makes excellent use of a centered puller fan.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Bottom-side, a tough 700R4 4-speed drives a familiar 10-bolt axle, which pushes a sturdy factory chassis that's fitted with fresh leaf springs. Modern power steering utilizes an AGR gearbox to mix steady apexes with tight turns. Power front disc and rear drum brakes are a welcome addition and big performance upgrade. There's a free-flowing, true-dual exhaust system that makes good use of brash turbo mufflers. And everything rolls on 8.20-15 BF Goodrich Silvertown whitewalls, which lap a cool combination of polished Intros and stainless-trimmed steelies.

INTERIOR

One of this classic's coolest assets is a thoroughly upgraded interior that's decidedly retro in flavor. For starters, and despite its chopped top, the car certainly feels more spacious than the average street rod. Hit the door poppers and you're immediately greeted by modern leather thrones that feature full power adjustment. Below those seats, luxurious carpet floats color-keyed floor mats around a billet accelerator pedal, a painted Lokar shifter, a plush armrest and a polished emergency brake handle. At the front of that rug, a classy, Lincoln-branded dash frames ornate Classic Instruments telemetry opposite hidden controls for the car's modern climate system. And in front of the driver, a requisite factory wheel traces a painted and tilting column.

From its hallmark grilles to its trick bumper, this classy Zephyr is a completely sorted head turner that's ready to hit the road.
