Will this 1969 Lincoln Continental RUN after sitting for 37 years ???

[@japanjack62]

WOW that is in great shape. My Grandfather had a 69, navy blue with blue leather and black top. My grandmother had a 66 LC Convertible, it was light yellow, they were tanks, My grandmother's car was totaled after a tree fell on it.. she was heartbroken.

[@vintagetincustoms]

Yes, I would have to agree on the shape of things. That is sick that your family was all running around in Continentals. These things are true classics. Thanks for the comment. Your family sounds like a cool bunch

[@jakereal3604]

Forgot to say I’m the proud owner of a 1970 Mark lll (bought in 1985), a 66 Toronado bought in 1984 and last my 67 Tbird Landau coupe purchased in 1989. Still have all three of them and have amassed a collection of NOS parts the past 30+ years!!!! Long live the personal luxury cars!!!!

[@vintagetincustoms]

Wow, those are all really cool cars. Always good to have NOS on hand. You'll never know when you need it

[@lklpalka]

Motor sounds good, beautiful interior. They really spent the money then! I hope you get her to go would love to see it. Good job filming - Subbed.

[@vintagetincustoms]

I was surprised at how good the engine sounded. I'll be doing alot more videos on this car as it progresses. Thanks for the sub, I look forward to sharing the progress with you. Thanks

[@gened7756]

I just subscribed to your channel. Nice car--nice interior. I love those old lincolns!

[@vintagetincustoms]

Thanks alot for the support it is greatly appreciated. There will be plenty of other videos showing this as it progresses. Thanks again

[@bevis226]

I need to find a 462 manual bell housing. They are rare as hens teeth. Really don't want to mess around with adapters.

[@vintagetincustoms]

I will keep an eye out. I might a hens tooth first, though.....

[@jakereal3604]

Awesome Car!!!! I smiled when she fired up and must say it sounds great !!! The exhaust was nice and smooth too. No putting or sputtering sounds, means engine is pretty healthy as well as Carb working properly which after sitting all that time amazes me!

[@vintagetincustoms]

Thanks for the comment. I would have to agree with everything you said. I was shocked by the way it just purrrrrred. I'm excited to get it on the road and get it out on a family trip. Def stick around as I will be updating this regularly on the progress of this car

[@jakereal3604]

Please do so I’ll look forward to it. Side note my 66 Toronado has rust in the same spot as your Continental where the sill plate and leading edge of door “post” area. I was wondering how to tackle that ???

[@lakesadmin3622]

[@radioguy1620]

I always use an outboard boat tank hooked up to the pump inlet the prime it with the hose bulb and use the carbs accelerator to get fuel in the engine with the air cleaner on, if a valve is stuck you might get a face full of flaming gas doing it the way you did. also add some two stroke oil to the fuel to lubricate the motor first tank. really helps. Be safe and keep on having fun with it .

[@vintagetincustoms]

I would def have to agree with you. Burnt eyebrows have never been in style..😆.

[@thedullone]

I love these get um running channels that bring vehicles back from the dead and drive them asis. Good stuff.

[@vintagetincustoms]

It's so awesome to bring life back into something that has been forgotten. Getting these old cars back on the road can bring a smile to anyone's face. We gotta try and keep the old steel around. Thanks for the support and I like forward to showing you more cool stuff.

@@vintagetincustoms the one from the Matrix was as close to my perfect Lincoln I’ve ever seen. This one here, with some TLC could be really amazing

[@79tazman]

A good thing to do on a car that has been sitting is to drain the coolant and put in straight water to flush the system because the coolant will gum up if the water was evaporated and harden in the water pump thermostat housing and even the radiator it gets real bad so it's a good idea to flush the coolant out a few times after it's been hot just to get all the anti freeze out because that stuff does not evaporate it just sits and hardens and plugs everything up

[@vintagetincustoms]

Awesome advice. Will do, thanks

I picked up a 68 Continental a few years back. Missing engine and trans. Rear brake shoes seized to the drums. I installed 460 and c6 from a 70 mark 3 that I picked up awhile ago. My car has been up and running for a couple years now. Fun to drive head turner. I have a cold start video on my channel. 460 engine came in the late build 68 Continental

Your going to have low compression from it sitting a long time I usually test compression once the engine is running and it has been through a couple heat soaks to get everything working again but if you test it without getting it to run don't be upset of the low numbers.
