1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V picking up after paint job- First time I drove it.

[@jliscorpio]

As a kid I really liked these cars when they were new. As an adult I LOVE them!

[@robertadoue8374]

I remember this car at a neighbors house and fell in love with it. It’s my favorite Lincoln from 77-79

[@GodandGears]

[@DavidFlorida634]

[@tui7088]

Very nice! Not to many videos of builds on these mark v’s. Keep us updated!

[@luckysparkle738]

Beautiful! Just Beautiful... impressive ... ENJOY!

[@DavidFlorida634]

Thank you very much!

[@cradiecast8407]

It needs the white wall tyres to really set it off😊

[@billiebobbienorton2556]

VERRRY VERRY NICE ! ! !

[@DavidFlorida634]

Thanks

[@youtold7727]

After you put whitewalls that car is going to pop and be even more beautiful

[@steves9905]

looks super...looked almost like copper while at the paint shop

[@DavidFlorida634]

Thanks! And Yeah, this Crystal apricot is kind of like the color of a new penny in the sunlight.

[@adape0884frank]

Such an amazing car that you have there and my parent's had one to back in the day and I wish that they would of kept it but instead the motor went dead and then it went to the junk yard.

[@A-classic-smithy]

Siiiccckkkk whip. My 76 caddy is all original and im looking at repainting it next year, might do the original cream color 🙂, thanks for sharing the video!

[@DavidFlorida634]

Hey, thanks and good luck with yours!

[@Hudsonlane]

Get some white wall on that bad boy

[@A-classic-smithy]

They're hard to find now 😢

[@alanglickman]

If it's a 15 inch wheel, uniroyal makes a tiger paw white wall I put on my previous town car If it's a 16 inch, continental makes a white wall I just put on my newer town car White walls change the entire appearance of the car.... It's a must have in my opinion

[@DavidFlorida634]

Yes! I totally agree. I have purchased some, I just haven’t installed them yet hopefully within the next week or two.

[@garysarnowski3113]

Crystal Apricot Moondust color? Wife, when she was single, had 79 Continental sedan same color, cordovan half vinyl top and cordovan cloth interior. Big boat but gorgeous combination.

[@DavidFlorida634]

Yes, same color combination on this one.

[@realbogus]

Looks great!! My only issue with the Mk5? The wheel well to tire ratio. Needs wider rims.

[@jakereal3604]

Very nice car but PLEASE put whitewalls on it. These cars need them to light proper.

[@DavidFlorida634]

Yes, I could not agree more. I have bought some. I just haven’t gotten them installed yet. I did remove the aftermarket tachometer and steering wheel cover

[@jakereal3604]

Great! Then she’s almost there

[@keniacobelli1618]

hope you are able to put hand painted pinstriping back on the car like it had from factory...

[@7c8f9x]

JUST A BEAUTIFUL COLOR, NOT LIKE THE 4 BORING COLORS NOW, YOURS JUST NEEDS 1 MORE THINKG W H I T E W A L L S, NO ONE BOUGHT LINCOLNS IN THOSE YRS WITH BLACKWALLS, IT WOULD MAKE IT LOOK SO MUCH BETTER.

[@DavidFlorida634]

Thank you and yes! I absolutely agree. I have purchased some but need to get a hem installed

[@billiebobbienorton2556]

Im sorry if you said it, but can you tell us how much it cost...

[@paulparoma]

Fantastic color, fantastic car, excellent paint job, but the ugly aftermarket tach is an eyesore.

[@DavidFlorida634]

Thank you very much and Yes, I agree about the tachometer and I could not figure out why someone had added it, but when I was driving it the first time the shifts in the transmission were almost imperceptible and I was thinking maybe that’s why the person had added it because you could see the RPM drop down with each shift. I will be removing it and putting in a different car.

[@paulparoma]

@@DavidFlorida634 I see. Well, removing it is not a bad idea. There is a reason luxury cars never had tachometers.:)

[@paulparoma]

@@BilllieverMinistry You don't need a fuel gauge in a Mark V. You know you need to fill up after you've driven for about 20 minutes.;)

[@DavidFlorida634]

@@BilllieverMinistry i removed it!

[@BilllieverMinistry]

​@@paulparoma Don't I know it. I had a 1973 Mark IV in the late '90s and just doing a cold start in 13 degree winter mornings in Colorado seemed like it took an entire gallon just to light off all eight of those coffee can pistons.
