[@benhur563]

I drove one in Florida in 1979 ! Great souvenirs.

That would make a fantastic birthday gift being i was born in 75 & my 48th birthday is in a couple of weeks March 30 1975 👏👏👏 having a car the same age as me lol and Lincolns being my most favorite car of all time. I've had 2 of them but not that year. I love it 👏👏👏

[@kennethanway7979]

I had 1978 town coupe with a 460 and dual exhaust! It would lope along at 100 mph! 🥰

Great video. I have a 1974 Mark VI also with a 460 big block. There's tons of aftermarket, very easy to get parts for that motor. Even Edelbrock, holly performance has tons of parts available for it. I put dual exhaust on mine. It sounds great

[@rocksolidmotorsports]

Thanks for sharing! These Lincolns are a great car and you are right about the aftermarket support for the 460. Sky's the limit when it comes to these engines.

[@theincrediblehulk5797]

@@rocksolidmotorsports Are there any aftermarket parts for the ford 400 v8 on the 1979 model

[@rocksolidmotorsports]

There are aftermarket parts for the 400 V8 that came in the 1979 Lincoln but I don't think it quite has the aftermarket support that the 460 does. With just a quick search, Summit Racing appears to have some Edelbrock intakes and heads for it.

@@rocksolidmotorsports Aw man I was hoping to get the full potential out of the engine despite it being strangled by emissions regulations

[@theincrediblehulk5797]

@@rocksolidmotorsports hey man one more question could I install these parts myself or should I go to a mechanic because I don’t have much experience working with engines

[@viciouspoodle5543]

The turbine style rims from a 1977-79 Mark V look great on the Mark IV!

[@LeviBadmanTheYT]

My uncle has a white one with red interior too. It’s the lipstick edition.

[@cooganalaska3249]

Its 149,000 miles boys. The tell-tale signs are there. However, it is very well kept for that many miles.

[@kennethanway7979]

Sorry, it's been repainted! 🥺

[@kennethanway7979]

I'd drive it!

Es Hermoso .

[@ferencmolnar6474]

it must have been a 1976 model, instead of a '75 one (just 2 power windows without vent section, not 4 with vent section)

[@rocksolidmotorsports]

It was a 1975. In 1975, you could only get the vent window on the Town Coupe or the Town Car. The vent window was not available on the Mark IV Lincoln in 1975. Below is a link for reference. autocatalogarchive.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Lincoln-Continental-1975-CA.pdf

I can nearly smell the exhaust through the screen haha

[@bobhoward6676]

I'd pay FULL MSRP to own that car. Fuel rose to $4.25 where I live. This @ 6mpg city / 11mpg hwy could get expensive as a daily for a poorboy like me.
