1967 Lincoln Continental rescued from Pennsylvania barn after 45 years but can’t be properly inspected

A Lincoln Continental rescued as a rare barn find is now the subject of a full vintage restoration to preserve this classic Lincoln.

Hidden since 1980, the car was discovered in a Pennsylvania barn and brought out for the first time in decades.

It’s believed to be a 1967 model, complete with coach doors and much of its original trim still intact.

The car was transported to Pittsburgh, where detailing experts began work on its revival.

The Lincoln Continental rescued from the barn was covered in dust but structurally solid.

It took a full-size trailer to haul the 5,700LB, 18-foot-long classic Lincoln from Pottstown to the detailing shop.

Once there, a careful decontamination process began with pre-wash, pressure rinse, and two rounds of foaming to uncover the original surface.

Even the interior showed promise, with its original leather, clean door panels, and surprisingly well-preserved cabin.

This kind of barn find is not just about the dust and decay, though.

It is about the story underneath. The Lincoln Continental rescued for this project still had a visible 1980 Pennsylvania inspection sticker.

But the rear wheels were locked, the hood latch was frozen, and the trunk would not open. However, the car’s completeness made it worth the effort.

While the classic Lincoln has its flaws, such as surface rust, bare metal spots, and missing trim, the overall shape makes it an ideal candidate for vintage restoration.

The team focused on making it clean and safe to handle before transporting it to Iron City Garage for mechanical inspection.

The plan is to free the seized wheels, check the drivetrain, and see if the engine can turn over after four decades.

If successful, the Lincoln Continental rescued from storage could roll under its own power once again.

For now, this vintage restoration is a visual success.

The barn find has gone from a dust-covered relic to a detailed, presentable car with real potential.

While the final mechanical outcome remains uncertain, the transformation so far shows the value of saving these forgotten pieces of automotive history.

The Lincoln Continental from a Pennsylvania barn might still have many stories left to tell.
