Lincoln Continental Mark VI - 1980 5.8 liter 351 Windsor V8 (Detroit Belle Isle) 

Proud owner of Mark iv 1973. I fall in love each time I drive it. No other does that to me. Not even a lambo. Couldn’t care less.

Man, that was an cool and refreshing ride out. And I love how older cars have emblems out on front hood. Cruise on man.. cruise on. I’m an older car die hard. I own an 81 towncar coupe as I commented before. And I also have an 77 NewYorker and an 73 Chevy Caprice. I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. Those were real built cars then. It’s ashamed that the cars nowadays you can thump a dent in them. Nice video.

Thanks for the ride. Had a great time riding such a fine vehicle; a true king of the road.

Nice ride. All it needs is a tune up and a REAL MUFFLER.

Back in the early 80s when I was a teenager, my parents rented the 4-dr, the Town Car, and the Versailles (bustle back & pre-bustle back) just to go on family trips from Los Angeles to San Diego. I loved everything about those cars, the way the exterior looked, the cloth interiors, and especially the sound systems back then- it really sounded good when “Sailing” by Christopher Cross came on- LOL. And now, every once in a while whenever I see one of these cars, I remember those times fondly. Thanks for sharing your trip to Belle Isle. By the way, your car’s muffler sounds like my late aunt’s 70’s Olds Delta 88, which she named “Gracie”. That car was huge!

I enjoyed watching the drive you took to Bell Isle, love the view and the memories it brought back of Summers when I was a kid and we visited my mother's sister in Detroit. Your nice Mark VI ride returned me to some fond memories 😊

I have a car club acquaintance who owns a 1989 Rolls Royce Silver Spur. I told him I'd love to ride in it sometime. He said, "Any time. But, your '89 Town Car is more comfortable. Don't expect much more."

Beautiful, brings back alot of memories. My grandparents moved to Wyandotte Mi, when they came from Italy. My grandfather had a 1974 Lincoln town car 4 door it was a yellowish color My other grandfather also from Sicily, came to Chicago. He had a copper colored 2 door 1977 Lincoln mark v I have fond memories of both...

Great video! It was like really being on board this flagship car for the world auto industry. A fantastic time travel. A large and fraternal embrace of your friends in Brazil! Televisual Team

Beautiful Lincoln. Love the digital 8 track deck I have never seen 1 very cool my friend

Awesome Lincoln! Enjoy it!

Sweet ride!

Thanks for the ride man, beautiful car. There's not many sounds in this world sweeter than a 351W.

Real classy tossing that gas cap on the paint.

Wonderful

Thanks for the video. Such a beautiful car. Great to see Detroit and Belle Isle. Never knew it was there after I've been to Detroit a few times. I plan to take out my classic cars this summer for cruises as well. Enjoy yours!

This is an amazing video! I can’t believe I didn’t know this gem existed

great video

My Dad bought off the Showroom Floor a 1981 Model 2 tone Blue/Gray with Blue Leather interior & traded in his 1976 Ford Country Squire Wagon. My Dad's only Dislike about his 81 was the Many owners complaints was the Electronic Carburetor which was New for 1981 & by 1983 Model year Ford went back to the 79-80 Simple & Non-Problematic Carburetor. Otherwise My Dad absolutely loves his 81. My Dad is 93 yo now & still owns his 81 with 102.000 miles to Date, Been Garaged since New & in great condition. It's rarely Driven now But goes to same Lincoln Dealership as bought for Service once a year now. Wen my Dad does drive he drives his 20012 F250 that has 30.000 Miles

I was looking for one of these , til the SUPER COUPE came out . Love that car still

I'm lucky to drive Lincoln town car amazing the gear on steering wheel!!! loved those olden design .

Omg that engine is taking me back to my childhood and our 79 mark 5 then a mark 6 later . Cold starts were extra chuggy but its like waking a beast and sounds like it too.. .. That car could haul ass too

Enjoy your Lincoln

that windsor sounds awesome

these car will make a come back im sure

One hell of a beauty

thank 4 the ride Mack . canon was a fat private eye and he had one

Hermoso auto, hermosa ciudad, felicitaciones.

Very beautiful

I had the Lincoln mark VI Bill Blass a 1982 coupe It was white with 2 tone colors red on the sides white leather and red integrated leather straps I had the Landau top making it look like a convertible so the oval opera windows were not present but made it quite private in the back. That was presented to me around 1995 in Chicago. Beautiful car they had black carpeting which Nicely coincided with the black carpeting Ford factory CB radio and an 8 track player Full digital dssh- and extra buttons.. The CB radio was integrated in to the radio speakers and the aerial also was AAM FMC B antenna factory amazing car had a lot of fun and it ran at to 300,000 miles. Not bed for throttle body 182 horsepower. The hood ornament was missing so I put on a gold Cadillac Sedan DE ville ornament it made people ask alot of questions but it looked pretty cool. One of my favorite cars but in this Chicago Winter the headlight covers would freeze shut if it got very cold. Ps. At the end of the video in the night time sceen, the very last frame it said mark 6,, was that from the computer control read out 3rd panel dashboard computer right square or was that on the passenger side wood facia etc? My friend let me drive his all silver Cartier version and my Uncle in Florida had an 82 bill blass with the gold to tone and blue with the mix of leather and cloth stitch seats love these cars too. My favorite was the black and silver Givenchy. The car was so much fun and classy to drive around do you enjoy it to and do you own it. The only sadness it had ever brought me was. I ran over a pedestrian the last year I owned the car, actually a little girl who was about six on her bicycle drove right over her in that car. It was dark night and I pulled out of This restaurant Really fast, and she rode along without looking for traffic.

A beauty of car

That Lincoln is one of the nicest (If not the nicest) and most well kept early 80's cars I've ever seen. I agree that this generation (1980-1983) didn't enjoy much appreciation, but all things considered, the Mark VI moved Lincoln into modern territory with features like the 4 speed overdrive (a great improvement for 1980). If I had to chose a car from that year, I'd go for the Mark VI, and in a close second: a Mercury Grand Marquis, Ford LTD, Chevrolet Caprice or a M-body Chrysler LeBaron or Cordoba. It's good to see this Lincoln doing the thing it was designed for: to give comfortable transportation in a daily drive/weekend drive and not staying in a museum.

hola ,muy bonito el carro ,felicidades ,lindo video ,santiago-chile

Very nice ride here 👍

Lincoln: What a luxury car should be!

It's like driving on a cloud 👌 I own one too and sure do have it posted in my RU-vid channel.

I really enjoyed your video on the Lincoln coupe. I own a 1989 Lincoln Town Car for about 11 years. After watching the step working with the Lincoln on video's as well as driving your car, I think I will keep my 4 door Town Car for a long time 😗😙😚☺.

the car a beatiful and i love it tum s upp

You are so lucky! I love the electronic display! I don’t like the 4 door version, as much as I love the 2 door version. Very beautiful car!

This car would definitely turn a few heads on the road !!!

Hi. I am french. I have a 1980 lincoln continental Sedan with the 351w. At moment she is in réparation in my garage To do it in very good condition. It is an export of canada sell new in andorra. All the equipement are ok. She s got only 63 000 kilometers. I think this génération is very rare in europe, one of another 1980 lincoln continental Sedan with the 351w is in France because it was in selling in 2017. But i have no lot information on this génération of continental.

A digital speedometer in a 1980 car? Lincoln was way ahead of its time.

I'm definately familiar with the powertrain. I had a '79 F-150 Ranger(.351w /c/6 ) They got a ton of torque! Uncle has a Thunderbird - same year as yours. I think its a c/4 tranny though Classic wood paneling look ! Digital readouts for that year seemed way ahead of their time- therefore way cool. Nice car ! Luxury and beauty= Lincoln 👍

Hi Nice Mark VI I noticed your Trip Computer/Clock is not working. They had problems with them 80-83.If you go to any Auto Wrecker and find 83-89 Lincoln Town car with the Digital Dash, Its your control Module that is gone. Its located above the gas pedal next to Transmission Hump .There is 4 1/4 inch bolts and an electrical plug in. The 83-89 version is identical and improved Plug and Play. You also need a Muffler and a Headliner. Cheers from Calgary

that was sweet in 1980

They are known as Ford Conquistador’s in Venezuela and they were hugely popular amongst kingpins, drug lords and politicians back in the day. My dad bought a 1980 model, full loaded, in 2002 because it literally was the first car he saw on the street when he moved to Venezuela and he fell in love with the style. Super comfortable and easy to drive, giant car and slow as hell. I never saw one with a digital dash though.

It was the first car. A gift from my father and I used to travel to the cities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Driving pleasure and rest. It is of a sedan type 1986. The color is brown with beige interior

Beautiful and AWESOME MASTERPIECE. I can imagine that gorgeous car with today's technology. Ford needs to bring back the V8's for the Lincoln brand. Njoy, that puppy. I had a brand new 78 Mark V, with 460cid 4V. Enough power for highway & long trips. But, a bit thirsty for premium unleaded. AMOCO 93,worked best. Almost $13k for a fully equipped non designer Mark brand new. All I did was change to true spoke wheels & VOGUE tyres. What a ride. Mobile living room.

Carro de minha preferência Lincolin continental sonho de ter um.1953

Hola sr este vídeo esta genial y que hermoso. Carro y como dice el dicho autonulistico lincon es lincon saludos desde México hoy 17 mayo 2019/

hello car enthusiasts and lovers of rare things. I hope you enjoyed this original footage featuring my 1980 Continental Mark VI. If you're familiar with this car or would like to know more please comment below. Thanks!

I think you need to get your tires balanced, I could see the steering wheel shaking. Other than that you have a real beautiful piece of art there :)

Nice to have beautiful Lincoln not many around hope you take care keep it .have it long time American build great cars 60s 70 s 80s now new cars aren't that great plastic bumper my favorite car 78 Lincoln mark v ill would like to own it But gas prices it make it difficult to drive it

Garage door needs some grease badly. Nice ride.

Hello you have a nice car there. I remember that back when they were selling these they came with accessories. The accessories were cufflinks, sunglasses and a few exquisite key chains. Did you get any of those or do you have them?

I really can't decide between the V & VI. The V is a bit larger but the VI seems to have a better fit and finish if that makes sense? Too bad you can't find someone with a V to do a comparison video, I think you could make a good one!

Essa nave é show

Этот автомобиль, - произведение искусства!

Thanks for the ride Butt we're is the hand Brakes on the lincoln mark vi or you just put it in park and the Brakes turn on

Que gravação engenhosa

Unlike this 82 Continental Coupe , the current one as mid size sedan have tactile automatic transmission. Such bodywork won't be made anymore as far as I know

I have the baby blue 1980 Lincoln Mark 6 got it out of an old lady's garage with 7700 original miles on the 351 Windsor

This is how a real luxury car should br

Located a 79 4 door with 40,460 k. Been garaged by OG owner since new and parked since 96. What should I offer?

Lincoln are real nice cars I used to own a 92 and 00 Lincoln Town Car sadly both of them got totalled.

Whats up with the headliner inside?

What's with the headliner?

Nice Mark VI, if you need parts for it.. I have a 1980 same white with red carpet and dash pad, dash pad isnt cracked.. it's just a parts car for my 1983 Mark VI but I don't need some of the parts.. it has the 351 W . I hear your car has an exhaust leak.. sounds like up front.. are the emission tubes ok ? I believe it has the air pump.

1980 features are equal to today's many cars

Why the loud mufflers? Love the car and this generation of Marks.

please please please USA create these cars again!!

My first luxury car!! I only wish the 5.8 came with fuel injection.

The engine sounds odd, as if there is a leak in the exhaust or a bad valve. The steering wheel shakes because of it. It would be worth it to have it looked into. I miss my Mark V's.

Hm loud motor noise.. 😳 exhaust?

Clasic

[Nephew of Ida] There is no car nowadays I would buy. Unless I have to...Thumps up

Beautiful car,but the 351,came with a 2bbl. Ran out of STEAM too soon. Then,the "horn button" on the signal lamp STALK. You have no idea on panic situations drivers would hit the center of the steering wheel! I swear I can hear an exhaust leak? Otherwise very quiet.

I have the same car in 4 dr same engine. the quietest ride.

Are you wanting to sell the Mark VI ? If so, I would be interested in purchasing your car ... can you translate the mileage into miles, please? What is your price, and does the Mark VI have all the options, I.e. Keyless Entry system, premium stereo sound system radio, exterior mirror on drivers side with temperature gauge, etc.? Please contact me back, and tell me, because I want this Mark VI ... thank you!!!

Ford should have kept the availability of the 351 Cleveland engine through out the 80s instead of dropping it in 1982 and having the 302 as the only V8 option.

И эти навороты были уже в 80 г когда у нас москвичи с кикстартера заводились ещё))

car is running rough it needs a tube up

Lovely car but it sounds like the engine is missing on one cylinder.

how much you want for it

Nice car, but fix the exhaust leak.

It's looks like airplane... تبدو وكأنها طائرة......

I see..some spark plug not working.

Beautiful car but sounds like it had a misfire......?

Nice car. But fix the missfire.

これの4drが欲しい、このサイズなら取り回しがいい、 日本にはほとんど無く悲しいよ😔

Era bueno cómodo pero gastaba mucha gasolina y muy lento

needs exhaust work...

Did you use premium.😎😜

Hello you can forgot this car 3 miles on call on gas. Need a tank behind you

الموتر يتفتف ياصديق .. يبغاله تصفيه

1980 debtroit was hell in a hand basket, now it's worse.

These videos where no one talks(description or history) I turn off. There are plenty of other videos that will give you information. The silence is actually creepy.🤨

I have a 79 mark 5 516-817-9446 fyi and its sweet.

Love how it has all that gimmicky electronic gauges yet still has a carburator under the hood. Benz, BMW, Jaguar etc had fuel injection on their cars for quite a few years by the time 1980 rolled around.
