Back when they built cars that were worth owning for 50+ years. What a fine automobile! These early 70s Continental Coupes were the best looking in the luxury market, and are my favorite Lincolns. There's something sinister with their big, impressive, imposing bodies and that big 460 under the hood. I wish this were closer...a specimen like this, in my neck of the woods, would be asking double or triple the price... and there's no way they would've gotten it running before listing it for sale! Respect to this seller for letting you film it.

[@tonyscarcare5657]

I agree, and the triple Black is a huge bonus.

[@robertgastreich9846]

This is a rare classic Lincoln. One of a kind in black on black with the covered top. Maybe Adam would like a second one. Hopefully someone will buy it and give it a good home.

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Adam told me the vinyl top and body side moldings ruin it for him.

[@groovy1937]

That's a nice car! I wish I had room for it. . . .

[@tonyscarcare5657]

I know the feeling.

[@bigjoe330]

Stunning Lincoln. I am not a fan of the vinyl top and side mouldings but l would not have the heart to mess with a car this man ordered like this and loved his whole life up until now. In this instance l would choose to leave it be.

That is a very nice car that just needs a small amount of TLC. Thank you for featuring it -- the two door Continentals are much less common than the sedans.

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Yeah......I really need to block it out of my head. It's awful close to me not to get.

[@markbehr88]

Thanks Tony. Nice car. Interesting how sloped the roof was on these early coupes before going more formal from 1975 onwards. It gives the cars a very different vibe to the later ones. More late 1960’s Marauder type roofline for these ones.

Tony that’s a beauty!!! Around 1985 I saw a 1973 4 door with the town car option, cloth seats and factory ASC sunroof (metal panel covered in same material as the roof), it was triple black too it even had the mini vents. I was only 19 and if I recall the dealer was asking $2200. Which I didn’t have back then. I had some minor rust a few dings/dents but I thought it was awesome! I show it to my dad and he said it was a “bomb” to forget it Lolol all these years later I still think about that car as I’ve never seen another 73 town car in black with factory sunroof. This evokes memories of that car! If I didn’t have three other projects I’d grab this car and take it to the next level!! Thanks for this treat

[@tonyscarcare5657]

It's funny you say these things because all I can think about it getting this car and adding a big factory 70s moonroof to it after deleting the vinyl roof and body side moldings. But I'm like you.....too many projects. 😢

[@jakereal3604]

We must be related. We both know all about those damned mark iii rear quarter windows and what a treat it is to remove the mechanism to service it. After you have already removed 16 screws , 12 nuts several clips and a few bolts it STILL is in there solid as all hell. Then you find the last 2-3 screws and out it comes!! Lololol my 67 tbird uses the same mechanisms lol

[@tonyscarcare5657]

​@jakereal3604 Oh yes......I've worked on both, and what a nightmare!

Tony you need to buy this one and add to your collection. He's done a lot with the brakes and gas tank/fuel pump. Also the water pump. It's ready for you to finish up. You like two doors, since you have that two door mercury. Pretty rare car. You'd be a good caretaker.

@@tonyscarcare5657 I'm not telling you anything you don't already know but triple check the undercarriage for rust. I know he said it was rarely driven in rain, but always verify. I just bought a 61 that was surface rust only according to the seller. Rust is so bad that one leaf spring has six of seven leafs broken in two and the other has the main leaf spring broken in two. I know better, but I trusted the seller. With the cracked dash and the rust under the vinyl top that 72 must have spent a lot of time sitting outside. Still the price is right especially with the mechanical work that he has already done. My least favorite jobs are gas tank and brakes and these are done on it.

Man if i had just waited a few months later id have gotten this. I ended up buying a 72 Mark IV that im giving TLC. I always wanted a 70-73 Continental Coupe. Im sure this will sell soon and probably for $5-9k. Top and rust will cost $2-3k to repair and replace though.

[@tonyscarcare5657]

I'd really like to have it myself. And it's close! 🤯

[@js6752]

It’s worth a lot more than 5-9

[@Chitwn81]

@js6752 Not with it needing rust repair which will be in the few thousand and a crack in the dash and whatever else you can't see. Like Tony said once all of that is fixed or addressed then yea maybe $12-15k. When cars sit though it never does them any good. He has to put all that stuff back together.

[@howarddavis1307]

Good video that be a good buy the 2 door coupes are rare I’ would have changed that plastic timing chain with a new double roller chain and gear for 1970 or 71 which brings the cam straight up really wakes up that 460 1972 first year for low compression 460 the heads were not great and had detonation issues sow premium fuel is a must throw that Holley carb away and get an edelbrock 700 carb I’d strip that top off and repair that rust and paint the roof black and you have a great cruiser with good get up and go.✌🏿👍

that car is under priced, i have an all original 72 triple black continental that was my brotherinlaws dads car, mine has 64,000 original miles and is a hershey award winner and hpof certified car all original, mint condition, and i had to up my insured value to 20,000 dollars, so i dont know where that price came from but this man should look into the value of these cars

[@tonyscarcare5657]

I think it's a fair price. I looked it over very well. You would easily have $10k in it by the time it was road worthy, and then there's a lot of rust under that vinyl top that's gonna require a lot of time and money if it's hired done, even if one was to simply delete the vinyl and go with a painted top. There's also locating an un-cracked dash pad. I'd say one could easily have $20k in it before it's show ready.

Any vehicle pulling the trailer with the Lincoln on it will get better fuel mileage than the Lincoln driving on its own power. That is the most thirsty engine ever produced it drinks more gas than the Cadillac 501 8.2 l. I know cuz I owned both engines in the Cadillac got better gas mileage. I have a 77 Lincoln town Coupe and a thing drinks so much fuel that it's been sitting parked under a tree for over a decade awaiting it's diesel conversion. So I can run it on used engine oil mixture that'll get it down to a dollar a gallon.
