One has to drive/ride in a car like this to really appreciate it. They’re are unbelievable especially to say someone born later than 1990’s. I can still remember driving down the highway 100 mph and it felt and sounded like 30 mph. Not exaggerating
Your opinion about the wire wheels is ok and I see where you’re coming from however, sometimes less is more and that car doesn’t need a pearl neckless , it’s wonderful as it is.
Wire wheel covers are horrible to keep clean and shiny. I have the original forged aluminum wheels on my 1975 Mark IV. They look great and are wonderfully easy to keep clean and shining.
Beautiful car, but please keep it stock, and as original as possible, and if you do this, there’s a much better chance of the car increasing in value, and more attractive to a collector.
Flemings Ultimate Garage Many thanks. Yes I gathered that this beautiful car must have been sold quite some time ago. But the same comment I made would apply to any other classic car. Keep it stock, and as original as is possible. It’s sacrilege to take away or alter the original factory specification on some of these old classics. When I look at a car for sale, and see that someone has for instance put 20 inch alloy wheels on it, I lose interest immediately. Sale, Cheshire, England.
My dad has Mercury Cougar XR7 not much different than this but all white on white has 10,000 miles in showroom condition all original never restored. Still has the old tires on it.
Wow that pale honeydew green colour is astounding. Had never seen one in this colour. Maybe this happened 6 years ago but Im sure today it still looks this good.
There were a few more options besides a moon roof , power mini vent windows , a few radios , lumbar drivers seat , trailer towing package , different rear ends ,gold heated glass front and back, sure track brakes, recliner passenger seat was a option in 1976 ,Aluminium deep dish rims stunning , the passenger outside mirror was a option in 1976 but standard in 1975 ,there are a few more just can't think of them right now. again MRS.

My brother in law had one of these back in the day. I was 10 years old then, and remember being amazed at the number of speakers. If I remember correctly it had 6. Also it seemed to coast forever when it got to highway speeds because it was so heavy. Loved that car, great video, cheers,!
I never understood why everyone says they were big, slow, sluggish boats? I have an all stock 70K original mile ‘74 Mark IV. From a dead stop with only 1/3 throttle it just dusts every new car at the stop and just leaps ahead of everyone! In fact, I have a 2013 V8 Silverado and my Mark feels like it has double the power and speed of my truck! Never understood that.
The chrome front grille was taken from Rolls Royce. Lee Iacoca told his designers he wanted a T-Bird with a Rolls front end. The fake spare tire bulge in the trunk is meant to look like a Continental kit which mounted the spare tire upright on the back bumper.
I don't know why,but I remember my father came home with two identical white on white with red stripes cartier editions he bought from the local Ford dealership for 500 apiece. This was in 1985. I inherited them I loved the ride.Wish I had kept one of them. That 460 was a torque monster.He could always wheel and deal for a nice car when we needed one.
I went to my prom in 1977 in a car just like that but it was Green with green leather interior. We got six people in that thing with room to spare. My buddy's dad almost didn't let us take it for that either because it only had 4K miles on it but we broke in the stereo with Fleetwood Mac's Rumors 8-track and Aerosmith Rocks.
He almost got me with the undercarriage there's no way in West hell did that car has been sitting and that gas tank is not Rusted or anything under the bottom of that car is not rusted. It is an exceptional vehicle don't get me wrong but it's been restored. I have a 91 Cadillac Brougham that sat in a garage for 14 years and most of the undercarriage was rusted, brake lines had to be replaced from front to back, interior was cracked.
Sad to say, you are wrong. I bought my 1975 Mark IV with 97K miles in 2002 and it had/has NO cracks in the leather. Had been treated with mink oil by the original owner. I use the leather conditioner we use for the furniture in our sitting room. As for the under carriage, a friend of mine had a 1973 Mark IV from Sacramento, California. You can eat off the under carriage. It was all original. Not restored.
@@FlemingsUltimateGarage Yes they are. Just bought a 2020 Black Label Nautilus. Lincoln is working very hard to make their way back into the luxury market. Uber quiet, and rides more like a Continental than a SUV. Of all the so called luxury SUV manufacturers, only Lincoln seems to get what luxury means. Their new line of SUV's have a sport mode, but it takes a back seat to the emphasis of sound and ride dampening.
I think the body color is exactly the tone given by the glass and seats cream inside. In other words, it is mix of greenish of glass vision stand from exterior. And color of body car is this hue. And vynil roof is a 1 tone darker green-grey of vody. My perception. Greetings from Santiago, CL SouthAmerica.
@@FlemingsUltimateGarage trying to help the dude out. Not gonna get any bearded clam walkin around with a hairy nutsack on top of your head. Nice car though.
Have one. Do not complain about the gas milage. It is by far better than my previous 1974 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 454cui. Almost as good as my 1973 Cadillac Coupe dé Ville 472cui.
not cool to say lincoln stole the continental kit from rolls royce arent you trying to sell the car.i think your bun on your head is too tight you stole that hair style from yo mamma.
04:00 Styling feature stolen from Rolls Royce - come again? The interesting thing is that if you look at 2018 Mercedes S Class Coupe, it looks like the trunk design has been adopted the three star cars.
Thank you sir. I just lost mine to Fire. I just bought it Dec 08, 17 from a 94 year old man. Barn kept and started often. Dry leaves under the hot muffler after parking it in my yard.
Sorry to hear about that. The closest thing we would have to that in current inventory would be a 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible: www.flemingsultimategarage.com/vehicles/2806/1964-lincoln-continental and a '84 Oldsmobile Toronado: www.flemingsultimategarage.com/vehicles/2757/1984-oldsmobile-toronado
I remember these cars coming out in 1972. The first Mark IV. Great stuff here. Your hair, on the other hand, is an affront to mankind. Just stop. You're cruising 50 yrs old. Please don't try to recapture what you never had!
Except for a few minor things under the hood that car is perfect. Unfortunately it's a mid 70's powerless gas hog of a boat. With the typical mid 70's puke green color inside and out. I bet it gets 8-10 miles per gallon. I know of a guy that has two of these, just as nice which he has been trying to sell for over a year now. Incredible cars yet he can't give them away, nobody wants them. If it was a 69/70 model and in a different color, that's another thing.
@6:13 that is not a canister for the evap system. It is a resonator to minimize air cleaner hoot. Headliner? Not going to sag because it uses bows. Guy doesn’t know Fords/Lincolns.
I was 17 years old when this Continental came in 76 brings back memories I’s nice Thank You for posting.

My parents had one of these and I was the family driver. If only this car could take me back to 1976 I'd buy it.

Iacoca said that when the MARK III was designed.
I don't know why,but I remember my father came home with two identical white on white with red stripes cartier editions he bought from the local Ford dealership for 500 apiece. This was in 1985. I inherited them I loved the ride.Wish I had kept one of them. That 460 was a torque monster.He could always wheel and deal for a nice car when we needed one.
Granted they were nothing like this,they were ride hard and put away wet.
Now THAT’S a cool car memory!

I owned this exact car back in the day.
Time to cut the man bun. Looks 😜
Don’t worry about other men, they have a word for people like you
I always loved this series of Lincolns!
RC M aren’t they just beautiful!?

Grease the hood hinges top to bottom These car hinges get sprung if not cared for grease them up
the one option I don't see? A sunroof or a moonroof.
The sunroof has more room for manbun when open.
Extremely incredible Lincoln. I was 15 when bought new. Un real find.
riding in those, your floating

Greetings from Santiago, CL SouthAmerica.
I have one here in UK. Bill Blass model.Ride better than latest Rolls models! I know, I recently was taken out in demonstrator.
What the hell's with the hair comments. Some people like long hair and don't always want it down. Let the man live, enjoy the car
people seem to miss the cars and think this is Flemings Ultimate Hair Studio lol
Такой авто должен ездить только правительство СССР ! БЕРЕМ ЭТОТ ЭКЗЕМПЛЯР !
I want it!
Time for the silly man bun to go.
Don’t worry about other men, they have a word for people like you
He is probably a Democrat
What's with all the man bun comments who cares look at that gorgeous car!!
Henry Harris we couldn’t have said it better ourselves! Lol
@@FlemingsUltimateGarage trying to help the dude out. Not gonna get any bearded clam walkin around with a hairy nutsack on top of your head. Nice car though.
The grill was "stolen" from the Rolls, the continental rear deck is all American....
and I hope the man bun is gone.
One of the predators had that hairbun on NBC's To Catch a Predator. Get rid of it.
It looks comfortable.
There's a guy I met once with one like that with under 9k on the clock 👍
iwishe i had that car i love it
Had one of these, same color. The 460 had no balls, sucked gas like it grows on trees, but it was quiet, smooth, and sexy.
Have one. Do not complain about the gas milage. It is by far better than my previous 1974 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 454cui. Almost as good as my 1973 Cadillac Coupe dé Ville 472cui.
Just divine.
Clean!!!!
Man bun??? Honestly, does he expect to sell this, or any car w/hair like that?
You never started the car...
He must have. The headligt covers came down again.
Beautiful...but a little wd40 would be the icing on the cake, kopy?
Man bun....YIKES !!!!!!!!
Is it still avail?
Someone is a lucky fish.
that bun. sheesh!!!!!!!!!!!
$30,000 ish ??? Just guessing.
Now.... park a 76' Benz, a 76' BMW, and pretty much any European car from that date, next to this Lincoln and tell me which one you'd rather own.
I grew up with and have driven the cars you mention. That is why I drive Mark IV today.
@@KoldingDenmark exactly. nothing prettier than old american iron.
Is it for sale. ??????
What's with the goofy top knot?
77 was the best
I wonder what it sold for? Nice car.
It's still for sale the lincoln
not cool to say lincoln stole the continental kit from rolls royce arent you trying to sell the car.i think your bun on your head is too tight you stole that hair style from yo mamma.
How match this car?
its last mark iv is it??
1 mil = .001" (one thousandth of an inch). Sounds confusing but that's what it is.
smooth
like driving a cloud
What if they repainted the whole car before?
What's up with everybody wearing these man buns ?
Don’t worry about other men, they have a word for people like you
gay hunter LOP
@@garyhunter8429 well they have a word for people like you if you like a man bun
What did this sell for?
That thing probably can tow more than a 5.3 Silverado lol

Timeless gorgeous car manbun from 2015 lol
Trust me, I have the lowest mileage MARK IV.
American good love!!!
I feel like putting you in a friendly head lock, then closing that yuuge hood on your man bun.
Very low options car...
Even at 16k miles not a big value mark....no, moonroof, p.v.w, lock group, lights, lumbar...zip...
I remember these cars coming out in 1972. The first Mark IV. Great stuff here. Your hair, on the other hand, is an affront to mankind. Just stop. You're cruising 50 yrs old. Please don't try to recapture what you never had!
