I owned car in the same color with a half navy vinyl and navy interior..in my neighborhood it was all Lincolns and Cadillacs I was 17 the gas crisis was on and they lowered the national speed limit to 55.. all the car manufacturers were going to 85 mph speedometers .. people to this day will still ask me about that car.. definitely one of the great ones
Wow. What a car and love all the metallic sparkles. That would make it fun to polish and look deeply into. The longness and hugeness of late 70’s Lincolns mirror the great expanses of America to cruise, so many rural roads and would float over them all. As a project car, a similar 100,000 mile excellent condition Continental with that delicious waterfall huge grill, redo the drivetrain, convert to sleeper sled EV zero-60 in 5 and a daily non-salty road driver with recharge cost at fraction of gas cost. Would not be cheap to accomplish, but could be a cheap daily driver once there. And don’t forget slaying people with a quiet whoosh!! to 60 in 5. “Out of my way!!” in my ginormous dinosaur. The looks on their faces. Endless fun.
A 1977 Lincoln ( any model ) has been my ultimate dream car since I was 5 years old and remember seeing one brand new. Even in the 80s when all my friends had posters in their rooms and dreamed of expensive foreign sports cars, I still wanted this. I'm at a point in life where its important to start making dreams reality due to health issues. Thanks for showing this !! I am subscribed and will watch everything on here.
@@christianbugatticg That's good to know and I'll keep it in mind. Unfortunately, it has to stay a dream for a while longer. Just seeing your reply about an ultimate goal in life means a lot in my little world.
Everyone asks "Bill, where do you find these cars"? It's called years of networking and if anybody who owns a successful business, it's hard work. Nice job Bill.
Many 1977-79 Lincolns were saved as "the last of the luxury cars," as people knew downsizing was inevitable. They are available today in large numbers, even with low mileage--so common that a patient buyer even has his choice of colors.
@@christianbugatticg I knew people who rode in a Rolls & a Lincoln Town Car. They said for being whisper quiet & navigating rough roads, the Conti wins
Amazingly, awesome, beautiful, magnificent, majestic, splendrous and wondrous Ride.

To the individual who gets their hands on and becomes the proud owner of this Lincoln Town Car please do your do diligence on maintaining to keeping this Ride the exact way when you acquired it ok 👌👌🏾please.

Aeronutronic was Ford's name for their aerospace division, which also had their audio systems lumped into. This was after Philco - which Ford owned since 1961 - was split up and sold off in 1975. The earliest variants of these radios do not have a name at the radio display's top. After that, you'd see Aeronutronic Ford like the one in this car. Aeronutronic got removed at one point and those have the Ford logo only there. Some of these radios were manufactured by Motorola, while some were not. As far as I know, the circuitry is the same either way as I have not seen different service manuals, etc. for one vs the other. When I got a NOS one for my '77 Cartier, it actually had a kinda obnoxious looking MOTOROLA sticker over the Ford portion of the dial. I had the Motorola thing removed, but a bit of residue was left behind. I am guessing mine was sold at the dealer or something for it to have once had that piece added.
Beautiful car! I have a 1979 Lincoln Continental sedan slick top with original 45K miles in the same color. I love my Lincoln and the look of the massive hood out the windshield.
Absolutely beautiful car in my opinion 77 was the last nice one because it had the fender skirts in the begin j'en and that special speedometer. I could be wrong I believe back then Ford offered one or two extra cost colors. And I think that blue was one and again I'm going back to when I was a kid there was also a gold color. Very heavy metallic
I think whoever that was it was talking about a 179 horsepower was talking about the 400,, through the later seventies the 460's were usually in the 200 to 212 horsepower range,,, it varied....
I think they were trying to sound modern. They only used that from 77 to maybe 79. I see the car is over $20,000 already. Have one just like it in the same paint color with less than 11000 miles. Didn't think about mine being worth that much.
I have a 1977 silver town car, they ride like a cloud. I love driving it to work. Ya that Lincoln would have t-bone the shit out of that truck. What an idiot. People see me coming and think twice about cutting me off.
The one thing that big American cars have always done better than any car from anywhere else is the air conditioning. These cars had ice cold A/C. It could be 95 outside but if you were sitting in the front seat you could see your breath because it could just get that cold.
I have the same car with 29000 original miles, been thinking about selling it but it’s hard to figure out an appraisal to value it. What do these sell for?
I'd like to take a look at it! It really all depends on the overall condition! Could be worth $9000 or it could be worth $25,000. Call me! Bill 843 294 7777
Bill, these did not come with the ‘Lincoln Continental ‘ name on each front headlight cover, should only be on the left side. Similar at the rear, it should only sat ‘Lincoln” on the right side, not both sides.
Too bad I wasn’t into Ford products back in the seventies and eighties. I was a General Motors guy, mainly Chevrolet and Oldsmobiles. As far as big cars, I did have an old 1967 Cadillac and a 1971 Oldsmobile 98. Back then driving those bigs cars was no big deal but seem like big boats now.
If I had the proper funds, place and room I would buy with in a heartbeat and add it to my collection. What an addition that it would be to have in a collection. Amazing, awesome 👏 😎, beautiful, beautiful, magnificent, spectacular,wonderful and wondrous beauty it most certainly is. To bad it didn’t come with the factory 🏭 installed Moon 🌙 🌚 🌝 Roof.

Good morning!! It was on a 7 day online auction. The site is called, Bring a Trailer. At the time I did this video there were 5 days left in the auction. this one sold. Thanks!
That car needs h1h4 Helen glass conversion headlights, 1156 1157 Switchback bulbs and turn indicators it needs a bumper tuck in the front bumper it needs mirror window tint, it needs the catalytic converters hollowed out, it needs a new set of sensor Matic shock absorbers, it needs the LED strip installed behind the reflector panel in between the tail lights that connects to the parking lights, it needs the rear bumper tucked also same as the front 4 inward delete the plastic flexible filler permanently, it may need the striker pin nylon roller bushings, it needs interior LED bulbs so that the plastic lenses don't become brittle from the heat of the Vintage candescent bulbs and the power drain from them, it needs a new set of fresh speakers, it needs the 1969 fold back hood ornament that has the long spikes on either side just like the symbols in the rear quarter Opera windows, and that should make it a really nice car. And don't forget to wipe that leather down in that with Vaseline park it out in the hot sun till it soaks in so the leather won't crack.

Bill, the color is amazing. Love it! Christian did a great job capturing the metal flake.
He did!! Thanks!
The paint on these 70s cars was very good. If the cars were Zeibart treated then no rust. I remember as a boy. Beautiful.
Yup!
My Uncle had a brand new 77 Town Car back in the day and I loved driving it. It rode like it was on a cloud!
Super comfy!

Another superb sample of a low mileage Lincoln in a most desirable shade of blue. How many more will Bill find in this condition?
Thank you!!!
All I can say is WOW!!!!
The original owner really did a great job of keeping it preserved!!
I like that dash with the amp and temp gages better than the later one.
Yes, that dash was very nice!
What a car BEAUTIFUL 😍
