13,701 actual miles. Excellent original survivor. Owned by a farmer that put only a couple miles on it at a time. He eventually went into an assisted living home and sold the car to someone else living in assisted living. Needless to say he didn't drive it much either.
EXTERIOR: It's as long as a football field and you can look down both sides and there is not a dent, damage or rust. The Dove Gray paint is believed to be all original and it shows really well, especially for a survivor car. Of course if you look for flaws there are some minor ones. The factory white pinstripe is not polished off. The Valino padded top is very nice but pulled away slightly from the rear trim. Overall the chrome and trim is straight and shiny. The Michelin tires were replaced. The jambs are clean, weatherstrips are still soft. Exterior features include the opera windows, hideaway lights with auto dimmer, outside thermometer, intermittent wipers, illuminated entry, heated mirror and premium side moldings.
INTERIOR: A living room on wheels! Big poofy leather upholstery is very comfortable. Every thing is in excellent shape. The leather, door panels and carpet look great. All the trim, bezels, knobs, vents are excellent. The headliner and visors are excellent. Features include lighted vanity mirrors, full power accessories including driver and passenger seats, tilt wheel, FM stereo, defroster group, light group and more. The owner's manual is in the glovebox.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The motor is a smooth running 400. It looks just like it did at the factory. It still has 1979 dated sparkplug wires. The stickers and factory markings are still showing. The duct work all still attached to the air cleaner assembly. The smog equipment is hooked up. It has power steering, power brakes and air conditioning.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Giant trunk opens with the power trunk release. It has the wall to wall gray carpet liner in excellent shape. The spare tire has never been used. The jack assembly is still in place. The trunk light works. There are still ink stamps from the factory.
UNDERSIDE: Very well preserved original under this car. The exhaust has twin catalytic converters, new muffler and tail pipe. The chassis components look to be proper and mostly original. Looking up at the motor it's clean, fuel pump and lower radiator hose have been replaced. It has a C-6 heavy duty automatic transmission. It has disc brakes in front.
This is the last of the Lincoln land yachts. They will never make cars like this again. Here is a chance to own one of the most original survivors left.

Can't beat a Continental for comfort and luxury.

[@tracybone1336]

Had the pleasure of driving one of these for the first time as a teenager, and instantly fell in love. Was doing 80 in a 55 and did not notice! Great memory, and great ride.

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Lucky you!! 😎

I had a 1972 White with white leather. Cruising easily down the highway on your favorite leather sofa. Turned corners like a boat.

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Sounds about right. 😆

[@mikedevlin803]

I owned a 1980 Lincoln Mark VI for 8 years, my living room on wheels, and I loved it! Best car I ever had!

[@tommyjoseph6241]

I actually bought this car from Volo it’s very nice, starts, runs good! Needed some brake work and AC work but that was it! I get lots of compliments about it every time I drive it also had it ultra cleaned up, ceramic coating Looks even more amazing then what I thought it would

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear you're enjoying it. 😎

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Thanks Steve! Hope you'll come back as we keep evolving & have ever changing inventory. 👍

[@brettb8825]

Beautiful. Surprised it fit on the turntable. So glad to see that dove gray leather interior instead of the expected bordello red velour that was slapped into so many silver cars of the day.

I own a 1979 Lincoln Continental Collectors Series 400cid 6.6. I live in the Netherlands, and to fill up the tank fully I do pay 2,14 EURO per liter gasoline, so a full filled up tank cost me 209 Euro that is about 243 dollar.!!!!! We have no gallons here only amount in Liter. But I love the car it is all about comfort, drives well, roomy. The last of the mastodonts!

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Do you drive it all the time, or only taken out for special occasions?

most beautiful lincoln and last year for the big one

[@charliefunboy5210]

It’s a beauty but it’s odd how the steering wheel is so warn considering the low mileage and the ash trays, front and back, have really been used. Maybe the family just sat in the car with the AC running while enjoying some chew and Pall Malls. lol. I didn’t have the sound on so sorry if he talked about this.

[@tommyjoseph6241]

The steering wheel itself is in superb condition The part you are speaking of is the plastic cover that runs across the wheel It’s a common issue, not made well Same issue on my Buicks and Marquis Easy $40 buck replacement, no need to trash a car for a $40 buck part

[@united57]

That is one beautiful lincoln continental we used too have several until ford shrunk them down

[@mikesawyer4707]

Just beautiful. And I mean beautiful!

[@jec1ny]

Government fuel and emission regulations killed the great American land yachts. Lincoln was the last of the big three to resist downsizing and 1979 was the last year for these full sized luxo-barges. The only real upside to the move towards electric cars is that it could make a lot of the regulations that have limited sedan size obsolete.

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

🤔hmmmm. A modern electric Continental? Would be very interesting to see.

[@jorgemoll5994]

What a beautiful and elegant car it is!!

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Imagine if every person on the planet had one of these in 1979. There would be no 2021 if so.

[@weirdshibainu]

My dad had one in emerald green

[@MELLIEbevhills]

Wheel covers, hub caps are questionable. Otherwise, amazing.

[@Rypsolisti]

Those are beautiful cars! My late father used to have a 1977 Continental Town Car, dark blue with slightly longer wheelbase, something like 19'' inches longer than standard. It used to work for US White House so great history as well and I loved that car. Perfect for long trips! Sadly my father sold it to Sweden, would be nice to know how is that Lincoln doing nowadays.

[@geraldboykin6159]

The models back then look better than the garbage of today!

[@Rypsolisti]

Nice video, but you don't show us the flaws that you're mentioning.

[@dalebowman2194]

It comes with a Prius in the trunk if you breakdown.

No room to expand, I'd have to move too! LOL!

[@j.campbell8491]

Im surprised that big ass car could even fit in that room.

@@j.campbell8491 About as close as they get. Usually we have to reposition a vehicle like this once or twice as we slowly spin it before filming, to check that it spins okay. 😜

I have an under ground garage at my house I keep all my classic cars there I can hold 8 cars, I still have room for 3 more 😀

[@willieclack9186]

What's the car 💯

[@briansearles4473]

I wonder how fast/slow this big Lincoln is with only a 2bbl 400 under the hood? One of the first cars I ever drove was a 1976 Ford Country Squire that had the 400 engine. Power wise it wasn't too bad but this Lincoln must weigh at least 500 lbs. more. For me real luxury demands ample power which is something this Lincoln probably lacks. Otherwise it's a beautiful car.

[@davidwright640]

My 1972 had a 460 x 4 barrel. Go fast and hope you can stop.

[@lindycorgey2743]

Not sure of the horse power. The 400ci/2bbl engine had 1970s anti-pollution controls on it. I'm going to guess around 180hp. I worked at a auto repair/tire shop called TALLEYS in New Caney, Texas in 1979. The owners bought a full size F150 and the Lincoln Continental. Just like the one in the video. Because it was Ford's last year to build such vehicles. Both vehicles were pretty impressive. The F150 had the 460 in it. The Lincoln could get out of its way pretty good for such a land yacht. It was fun to pump $1.00 gallon gas in it. I use to joke with my Boss's Wife, "can you shut the engine off so the gas pump can catch up." Those were the days.

[@lindycorgey2743]

I looked it up. The 400 made 159hp in 1979. Less then I thought. If it had any get up and go. It had to be all gearing.

[@briansearles4473]

@@lindycorgey2743 That's really a poor HP number for a 400 CI engine. I think my 1976 400 was rated at 180 HP, can't remember the TQ though.

[@lindycorgey2743]

@@briansearles4473 I can say one thing. At such a low HP. It sure wasn't going to stress the C6 transmission.

[@jbncnow]

Thats the am fm stereo no 8 track or quadrasonic 8 track

[@tommyjoseph6241]

Correct but really not important to me I had an alpine Bluetooth head unit installed in the glove box , JL speakers all around, a 5 channel Alpine amp and a 12 inch Alpine sub woofer Sounds AMAZING! And dash still looks stock

[@TimMonbrod]

A Battleship, not a land ⛵ yacht😁😃😊🇺🇲You can charge not by the length or weight, but by how many gangster's body's can fit in the trunk😁😃😊😂😆🇺🇲

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

Damn shame you have that car priced as high as you do with such a small engine and the front seats in such crappy condition.. if it were in better shape and had the 460 engine instead of the 400, I'd have probably bought it by now..

[@dapsapsrp]

The 460 engine was not offered in 1979, only the 400 so nobody had a choice unless one did a replacement.

[@tommyjoseph6241]

Worn seats? They cleaned right up Not even a dirt line can be seen now And a 6.6 powers the car just fine no complaints here

[@jamesmustin7289]
