Welcome to the insanity.
Driving a brand new 1978 Lincoln with a 460 only 200 original miles.
Probably the first and only time I'll ever get to drive one of these new.

I bought the cheapest and the rarest 1979 Lincoln continental, Well i traded two tempos and some cash but this is a true one of one car. Being a basemodel and custom ordered.
Man.....what a ride😊
bigfoot drives a Lincoln
I would be happy to make a bet $$ that that odometer has rolled over a couple of times. It does not look/sound like a car with 200 miles on it. Yes it has been taken care of and garaged, but 200 miles, no way.
No need for words
For sale I wonder????
Junk then. Junk now.
That thing is virtually a museum piece. Nice!
A fool and his money are soon parted
Incredible condition considering its old age.
Door striker bushings are gone. What is the fwap fwap fwap noise while driving?
If its the noise I think you're referring to, I believe that's the guy breathing! 😂
Flat spots in the tires, probably. You can see the steering wheel vibrate with the fwap fwap noice.

That thing would look gorgeous lined up at the local demo derby this weekend!
Try 100200 miles. Idiot
By 1978 Luxury car buyers were already turning to Benz & Beemer. Lincoln and Cadillac had a bad quality reputation
I disagree. The generation who bought luxury cars back then for the most part still bought American. Which meant Cadillac or Lincoln. I knew several of those people back then. I think the switch really came about in the mid 80's and with the boomers, by the 90's it was pretty much complete.
Terrible /pitiful camera work
Ford cheapened the dashboard for 1978. The replaced the beautiful Lincoln dashboard with the bar speedometer and replaced it with the same dashboard as the Mercury Marquis to save money and perhaps some weight.
Should have a backup alarm
That's when cars were not just transportation, superior American engineering or signs of excellent taste they were literally WORKS OF ART!!! NOTHING new today looks or runs as well. Todays gl0bal g@rbage belongs in the can. I will never buy another new car.
You Bought this From Bill at competition cars…On his bring a trailer page…
Bill actually had some bad gas in this car believe it or not
How much did he pay for it?
The condition of the drivers seat looks like it has 100k miles.
No it doesn't
I was thinking that the seats and door panels DO look a little faded. I had a '79, same color interior only with cloth seats and the burgundy was much deeper. This almost looks oxidized like the old car paint used to get if you didn't compound it regularly.
I want it and I want it now!!! 💕
Me too - really want to upgrade my ‘01 town car , but I probably should stick with the 2000’s 😎😎😎
Teaser video since car really wasn't driven.
It was; only just for the last minute of the video! LOL
White or Dove grey?
You selling it?
Seats still look new. Usually they're all flat and ripped up on these
look's like the camera quality is from 1978 and the camera work itself... well it's god awful , the car looks in decent condition, but why does it have a half falling off sticker on the windshield and a non lincoln oil change sticker on the front door, something doesn't add up, somebody has probably disconnected the speedo.
I dunno about that. No signs of wear on the steering wheel, the seats, the door panels
You should change the oil over time even if it's not being driven.
A 46 year old car with less than 200 miles, may not be a good thing actually. Do you think that those miles are from sitting, or possibly rolling without the odometer connected?
Or rolling the Odometer over?
If it has 200 miles on an old car all gaskets should be replaced be4 this thing turns into the Exxon Valdez
Well, that all depends. Look at guys like Matt Garret and Jim Haley and their car collections. They both have some original low mileage cars like this 'still in the wrapper' as they call them. They run them regularly to keep the fluids moving and to keep the gaskets from drying out. But they do them in their garages on those 'roller' contraptions. So the car literally stays stationary but the wheels do in fact turn. That might have been the case with this car.
It's like driving a boat. I know you're happy with that big ol couch 'mobile
No vent windows is good those suck and are nothing but problems. So are vinyl tops

No surprise when a kid gets a 5,500 lb. Lincoln they immediately think an Edelbrock branded air cleaner lid is an upgrade. Nice car, looks good in yellow. I would like one that has already been 4.6 2V swapped so I could actually enjoy driving it without experiencing financial ruin at the gas station. My brother had one with a 460, seemed like it was a steady 9 mpg no matter what.
Non ethanol gas and non retarded cam timing and emmissitdelete helps
"Cheap" or not. It deserves white wall tires.
Wow, this is bare bones! No power seat, no cruise, no tilt, bench seat, cloth, no vinyl top, no opera windows
These Bare-Bones Lincoln's are very hard to find. In the 1970s up to the Mid-90s I learned as a kid . Our next door neighbor was a Sales Manager for Lincoln/Mercury & Always having a new car as my Dad & I would walk over to Look at this Week's Car. It was 1 time a Lincoln with Cloth interior & Dad asked our neighbor that Cloth was A Wow Factor. The Neighbor said LOOK at the REAR of the Car. Wat did we Notice he Asked us. We couldn't figure out, then he said it's DUEL EXHAUST. Ok So I'm thinking. He told us that Ford Produced a Limited amount of Bare-Bones. Cloth interior, Dual exhaust where to be Sold to Coach to get Stretched. The Leftovers which where Not Many that Coach didn't Buy, then got Sold at Dealership's.
You should see my RARER 75 with all the trimmings.
THANKS FOR SHARING 🤗 Mine had the cloth interior and the only option was a vinyl roof and it was gold , with gold interior …9 + yrs
Yep that’s what I have the fabric seats, power everything, and my 8-track still works too. So does my clock. It’s all original.
@@sirfoot3940 THANKS SIR …FOR SHARING YOUR STORY 🤗👍😎 Fyi … mine went over 220,000 mi. In N E OHIO winters
@@sirfoot3940 I have a Question. Do You know if your Cloth interior Lincoln came from Factory with Duel exhaust ???
Not so rare
Well you know you have a 400 Cleveland engine that's a plus. 💥😎💯
I’ve got the 460 in my Lincoln.
Only one coffee can.
I got a go fund me for fuel for my 79. It cost 5$ to ride to the gas station and back lmfao.
It sure does but what a cool ride ⭐🌟✨🛣️
🤗 Believe it or not I had one and drove it for nine years and he got 19 1/2 miles per gallon avg.
@@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461 what year and motor did it have?
@@myotherbrotherdarrel4495 1979 400 CLEVELAND 🤗 And if I nursed it on a long drive I got 20.4 mpg ALSO…I should mention I did very little stop and go driving and in the winter 🥶 warming up took it down as well…just FYI
I beat that with 400 Ltd landau. Non retarded cam timing, no. Ethanol, emmissitdelete and dual exhaust and 3.55 gears. 18 to 26 mpg. They won't do that on ethanol or with emmisions
I've always wanted to see what a base model looks like. I have the '79 Collector's Series so it is fascinating to see the differences. The driver's switch panel seems to indicate no power seats. I've never seen that! Great find!
It's a base model Continental. They made thousands and thousands of them.
But you don't see them anymore this one is pristine. 👍
A very handsome Continental. It is somewhat rare that's true, I have been fortunate to have seen a surprising number of them over the years starting when they were still new on the market. What I particularly like is the fact that they use the first style Lincoln Continental four pointed star as was seen on The Mark II in 1956 through the 1960s and on the 1970 to '71 models. On Town cars with Opera windows, the original Continental star was etched into the glass. All other emblems beginning in 1972 were either pinched into a narrower shape or in the case of the hood ornament, squarer in shape and the points of the star were shortened for safety purposes.
I see it has the skinny SKirts on it 👍
I do believe all Lincoln's came with white wall tires, Standard Equipment. Never seen one like this & not envious.
It looks a nice clean example but PLEASE get appropriate whitewall tires (with the thin white band) and put back the correct air cleaner with thermostatic air intake.
Well it's his car it probably performs better with that open air cleaner and he doesn't have to worry about rust and those tires he has on there gives it a better ride and a better grip helps the suspension. 😎💯💥
truth be told there probably is one rarer, the golden anniversary edition cars.
Beautiful car.
Nice!!
lincoln continental town 79 in box in italia
Very cool Continental, it's refreshing to see one without all the extra stuff!! 👍👍
I know that the Town Car package was an option, but I didn’t think such a Lincoln existed without the package. So this is just a Lincoln Continental. NOT a Continental Town Car. Far out!
It is confusing, but back then you had a Lincoln Continental, and a Continental Mark III, IV, or V. and other than both cars had Continental in their names, they were completely different cars. Starting in 1980, the Continental Mark VI was a more expensive version of the Town Car, with different front and rear styling.
