Around 1976, a local eccentric antique dealer brought in a limo to have rebuilt. To my suprise it was one of the Kennedy Lincolns! I remember being impressed at the remarkable workmanship on this vehicle. It had a luxurious bar and extra airconditioner and heater in rear along with many other amenities. The one thing that impressed me the most was the cylinders did not need boring, as they only had .002 max wear at the top of the cylinders. The crank was perfect and the brgs looked like they came out of the box. This was a 430 by the way and struck me funny why it was not a 462. Car was immaculate and I had seen it around for 10 years. I think he said there were 6 of these built. This one was white. I will say they are heavy, 65 more pounds than a 429. I found that out 10 years ago as I built a blown 430 w/Scott injection for a 40 Ford coupe a guy had. I was trying to talk him into letting me put a handmade girdle on it or cross-bolts, neither of which he was interested for it was only a "cruiser". Funny thing though, he wanted Crower rods, and when you look ay MEL rods, they are some of the beefiest out there.
