1979 Lincoln Continental Bill Blass Edition - PART 1 - Goes for a Drive

[@owlnswan4016]

Your car has a 6.6 liter V8 (400 cubic inch)...the 460 wasn't available in 1979. The QUADRASONIC note on the door for the radio/8 track player is because it not only plays normal 2 channel stereo tapes, but also 4 channel quad ones, which are discrete surround. The quad tapes have two "programs" since they are using 4 of 8 tracks at once vs the usual four programs on a stereo tape which use 2 of 8 tracks at once.

Jock Ewing had one of these in Dallas, back in the day. What a boss of a car.

I'm usually not a fan of old american cars, but this one is really impressive. I love especially the dashboard and the gauges. I don't like the wipers 😁.

[@wizardsportsandclassics9937]

I agree. Wipers were extremely irritating. Now replaced!

The Great American Land Yacht especially w/ the Bill Blass embellishments WOW

"I'd do a walk round, but it would take me about 20 minutes to walk around it!" I laughed out loud. :D

Was never a ford guy but those old Lincoln's are sweet. Definitely needs a tune up. Time for rock auto.

[@Lot76CARS]

Great car but please let the restoration involve the purchase of two wipe blades😂

[@wizardsportsandclassics9937]

Wipers now replaced and tyres pumped up. 👍

Cool it's on an Irish registration plate!

Put your seat belt on Richard!

[@wizardsportsandclassics9937]

Sorry. I did have on later on. We were in Mexico and the laws are a little more relaxed there.

17 ft!? More like 19 foot literally same length as an 02 RR Phantom!

Rain as a typical NY winter day? Try again. NY has 3 of the top 5 snowiest cities in the US. Buffalo NY just got upwards of six feet of snow last week! Lol
