Proud owner of my 1980 Lincoln Continental Mark VI (5.8 liter 351 Windsor V8). The Legacy of this generation Mark is greatly undiscovered and under appreciated by many. The Lincoln Continental Mark VI was technology and beauty in motion from model years 1980-1983. It is my hope to be a valued resource for quality content and make evident why the Mark VI is a significant contributor to Lincolns rich history.

I will receive my 1983 Mark VI this week. Thank you from Warren, Michigan, USA. Thank you,

@xrmerkur Год назад

Wow Tedly, that’s gonna be great! Maybe we’ll run across each other at a Metro Detroit C&C. M1 Concourse has a Ford & Lincoln feature with a large turnout. Congratulations on your find, hope you have an incredible experience. Thanks for watching!!!

That car is gorgeous

I really appreciate the compliment, thanks! My Mark VI is almost 41 years old and I’ve owned since 2017. More videos to come!

Can't wait for your next installment. I never thought about the vacuum loss on headlights! The Mark VI I just purchased (1982) has been sitting for about 7 or more years. Can't wait when she comes home from the garage; I'll bet the headlight covers will be closed! Keep us posted on your beautiful example. As Lincoln put it many years ago: "Nothing Could Be Finer."

🥳congratulations🎈 Fantastic news about your new classic purchase. I definitely will check out post of your Continental when you upload. Thanks for watching my video 😇 PS. I’m a little late putting together my 3rd year ownership video, but more videos are to come!

I have a brochure of the 1982 Mark 6, along with 1982 Town Car brochure and 1982 Continental brochure. I love the early Lincoln, real luxury compared to today's so called luxury Lincoln cars.

The Lincoln Town Car and Mark VI are as close to automotive perfection as it ever got, in my opinion, across that critical gamut of beauty, reliability, longevity, comfort, style, ease of maintenance and pleasure of use. Driving used to be a lot about pleasure, and these cars remind you of that fact. Absolutely nothing else thrills me automotively as much as these older Lincolns do, and that’s been true since I was old enough to be conscious of cars. The 351 is always desirable to find. You could hit that engine with a bazooka and it would probably still be trying to run - strong as an ox. Glad to see this car being lovingly owned and enjoying a QUALITY second life. What we’ve got is all we’ve got left - FOREVER. I wish more people understood that.

@xrmerkur 3 года назад

Wow! 🤩 beautifully started and in complete agreement. it’s been my goal all along to spread positive news about the Mark VI. it’s so wonderful to hear others share the same opinion. spring starts tomorrow so i’m ready to work on what maintenance is needed next for this rare luxury vehicle. i’m planning to keep it running forever.

@lincolnlane9235 3 года назад

You will want to start introducing the car to Marvel mystery oil. I have a video posted about it. It is responsible for the health of the engines of ALL of my old Lincolns, many of which sat for years before I bought them. It is one of the best kept secrets on retail shelves. You will never see a drop of advertising for it, but it has been around since 1923. The old-timers swore by it, and there was a reason. Any engine with moving parts will love it. Cars, trucks, lawnmowers, chainsaws, you name it. It goes in your gas and in your oil. You will absolutely not believe the difference after about 60 to 90 days of regular treatment. The 351 is a powerhouse anyway, but that’s another good reason to offer it a treat, and MMO is “automotive apple pie”, as I like to say.

The 2 door is the G.O.A.T.... Digital dash!

@xrmerkur 4 года назад

Kreol Boi , in its day the sedan version really shook the purest in the Mark community. many prefer the coupe, but the 4-door will probably become the rare most sought after. Personally I like them both 🤩. Thanks for tuning in to my channel, please come again 👍

Salvatore Amelio congratulations on your new classic car. wow! the Mark V is the grandest of all the Marks. thanks for watching and I’m glad my experience can bring hope to you and maybe future collectors.

@salvatoreamelio1989 3 года назад

Maybe one day we will cross paths at one of the car meets that would be cool

@xrmerkur 3 года назад

Salvatore Amelio would be pretty cool. hopefully 2021 will be more solid for planned events.

Leighton Farms , your comments makes the hard work putting these videos together worth every minute. Thanks!

@MixNutzNBoltz 4 года назад

that is cool to cruise with everyone. I see you have shown new cars too.

@xrmerkur 4 года назад

Mix Nutz N Boltz , yes, I enjoy both new and classic cars. Vintage vehicles have a special charm about them and new cars are safer with convenient super smart technology.

@warrenwinslow4266 8 месяцев назад

Run non ethanol gas only. You may want to reglue the turn signal lens before they fall out. You should have gotten dusl exhaust.

@xrmerkur 8 месяцев назад

i hear you for sure. Fortunately i glued mine before the clean plastic could fall out.

@patricksaxon3983 3 года назад

Very nice car! I love that you have the electronic instrument display, my favorite feature. I did not notice if you have the keyless entry system and the auto-lamp. I used to own a 1977, Lincoln Mark 5, also having the same problem with the head light covers staying open. I hope to find an early 80's Lincoln, hopefully a 1980-1981 Lincoln Town Coupe', a two door version of the Town Car.

@xrmerkur 3 года назад

it’s amazing such technology was featured back in the early 80’s. the development had to be planned at some point in the 70’s. back in those days teams were assembled almost a decade ahead to create completely new platforms like the futuristic Ford Taurus. Believe it or not the first recognizable scratch/clay model was rendered in 1982. That’s pretty awesome you used to own a Mark V, I’m sure you miss it. The panther platform proved to be the best / iconic riding experience of all modern Lincoln (the signature float). The Town Coupe’ is super rare, i wish you much success securing that one. thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Please check out my other videos by clicking on my channel.

Hey buddy. I have located a Lincoln Continental Mark VI Bill Blass Edition. I'm probably going to see it next week. I'm wondering if you have any resources on how to refurbish the canvas coach top on those cars. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

@xrmerkur 4 года назад

SHUGAH CAINE , that’s fantastic news on your find. I’d imagine if you watch current RU-vid videos on car restoration (specifically ragtops/etc...) they will list their sources in the description. Maybe you’ll find someone local, or even look on Instagram. I’m sure some shop is advertising job they have done with contact info. I wish I had a company to quickly recommend to you, but I’d be googling and on classic car forms. Much success and I hope your car will be everything and more!

@shugahcaine4137 4 года назад

@@xrmerkur thanks for the advice. I'll follow up on those ideas. I've still got to go check the car out but it looks like it may be in pretty good shape.

@MixNutzNBoltz 4 года назад

whew almost missed the fun bro due to the technical problem.

@xrmerkur 4 года назад

Mix Nutz N Boltz , close but with determination we got it running 😁. yes, it’s kinda a techie classic. Just old enough to be a classic, but modern enough to be glitchy.

@PureQualityCanines 4 года назад

where did you find repair manual for this car i have a 1983 i want to restore

@xrmerkur 4 года назад

grap3ap3 , believe it or not a little over two years ago I purchased the manual on eBay. It has been helpful and pretty straightforward to follow. Thankfully these cars are on the heavily supported panther platform, therefore the crown-vic is a fantastic reference too. much success on finding your shop manual. We Mark VI fans need to keep these rare vehicles on the road. Thanks for visiting my channel and commenting.
