Will it Run and Drive 50 Feet to the trailer?! My ABANDONED 1967 Lincoln Continental comes to LA 

Sooo is this gonna be the chassis for the 12 Rotor? 😁 It is a boat after all...

Rob, we don't just watch for the cars, we like watching you and we like your personality

I can't be the only one that thinks a RestoMod of the Lincoln would be insanely nice content!

Watching you guys figure out the carb and the timing adjustment made me think of archeologists finding unknown artifacts from hundreds of years ago. It’s funny that carbs and timing adjustment is how I grew up, and I’m only 47… makes me feel like I’m 100 now watching this 😆

Brads a legend could tell he was nervous with his hands shaking. But he knows his shit and was super informative.

I had a 1977 Ford LTD which was basically the same size as this thing and, I think, pretty much the same motor too. Bought it for $75 in 1993. The previous owner had haphazardly ripped out half of the vacuum lines and cut out the cats so the thing was loud AF and barely ran. He'd also painted over the vinyl 'Landau' top with house paint. It had an in-dash 8-track player. It wouldn't start hot unless you adjusted the timing at the distributor. It wouldn't run in the rain. The headlight switch had vacuum lines run to it to open the headlight doors and it would freeze in the winter; you'd have to idle the car long enough to warm up the interior and thaw it out in order to have headlights. The entire pep band drum section's instruments fit in the trunk and back seat. I think it got about 12MPG, but at least gas was only like a dollar a gallon. The 3-speed auto was in 3rd at something like 15mph. I do not miss that car one bit.

I always look at the videos at the beginning and see 30 minutes, then they always so abruptly end after what seems like 10. I'm excited to see the revival of this car, I miss the blue garage days but it's been quite the journey you've made so far. I can't wait to see this thing get some love.

Reading the title I thought this was a Vice Grip video lol. Always love seeing a guy do the right thing!

The 12 rotor will have a good home in the Lincoln :D Just enough space

Just gotta say I LOVE this chassis and I can't wait to see the build. I have always been enamored of mid to late sixties Continentals and with your meticulous talents this should be a blast

Smarter Every Day made an entire video on how carburated systems work, it's beautiful. Slow-mo shots of the vacuum created by the venturi and shit, really cool

bro i was 15 when you got the continental, im now 24 lol . HOLY SHIT HOW TIME FLIES MANNNN

Absolutely love that body style with the rear suicide doors, so dang classy.

I've never heard timing so far advanced that it spark knocked at an idle which would also be why it overheated

This felt like a more educational version of "Roadkill". I'm sure Freiburger and Finnegan were lurking behind a tree and giggling at your efforts... 😁😁😁

The shit I go thur the day with then I hear Rob laugh,makes everything better 😅

I've driven past this every day on my way home from work, waiting for the day the project gets going again. I'm excited to see it.

The suicide doors on the Lincoln make it one of my favorites. Great hotrod project car.

I love that old Lincoln Rob, please restore it to its former glory!

The last video with the Lincoln was a instant classic

19:24 When I worked at a shop we did a sniper install on a MEL in a Continental just like this, it went from being hard starting and temperamental to being just dead simple turn key easy.

Love watching you work on you old junk. That car is rad.

Thanks for powering passed the anxiety guy explaining the gear's ❤❤❤❤❤❤

i almost forgot you had this car lol. the why you shouldn't drive a classic car video was gold

I grew up learning about EFI and whenever my Dad starts talking about carbs and distributors, I tend to zone out, actually looks like a lot of fun. I need to start messing with an old car for a change, it looks really rewarding.

Man this is fascinating stuff, loved this change of pace.

Dude gearbox guy. Never be nervous again. You're like the gearbox whisperer :D

That giggle @00:13 is something ALLLLL car people have uttered way more than once 🤣🤣

Only OG's remember this beautiful beast.

to answer your question at 9:30, i like this kind of content. that car is so cool

ROB! Yall just answered a question that I've always wanted 2 asked. That "Grinding-Point" within the mysterious world of a TRANSMISSION

I love your work Rob, but you guys appeared out of your element. Made me feel good having 40+ years of experience... Yes some days I feel old 😂

Was thinking about this car a lot recently, glad it finally made its return!

I love classic cars and knowing how detail oriented you are would make this such a sick build series.

Plenty of room for the 6 rotor and all the goodies!!!

Old engine fireup speedrun any%. Love it!

27:52 I can't believe it's not butter!!! That's amazing, it does fit.

i'm feeling the uncle vibes radiating from rob in this video

Love seeing ViceGrip inspiration spread; solid.

LICOLN CONTENT LETS GOOO

Im a sucker for classics, love the old styling of them.

Dude. Seeing this gave me another reason to watch your channel. I love these absolute behemoths. I wish I could get hold of one

Good lord I feel old... This was every Saturday afternoon growing up, working on somebody's old shitbox. FYI (if anyone cares) the small rectangular openings in the top of the carb are bowl vents. You can fill the bowls through them using a small funnel (or beer can). That will usually provide enough fuel to get the pump primed and working. This video is truly a "grandma's car" primer for millenials.....

I would love for a series on this and just teaching basics of repair and restoration

Love it!!!! Any Rob content is good content!

I have missed most of the 3 rotor videos recently but i had to see this and im glad i did

God bless you for not giving up.

Omg perfect 12 rotor candidate 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you rob and co. Gooood stuff‼️‼️‼️‼️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

So glad you haven’t gotten rid of the Lincoln

warmed my heart seeing this video get posted i wondered about this car

Excellent stuff, i mean a $15 of terminals versus this is absolutely relatable

Let's actually go! I've been waiting for this video for ages!

Is this gonna be the 12 or the six rotor? Id love to see either one and it'll annoy so many purists it's gonna be great either way!

This is the greatest content this channel has ever produced..

im dying to see a full build series on this now....ASAP!!!!

Just I was getting bored Rob drops another banger🔥🔥

That old girl was running on 5 cylinders at best! Lol. Rebuild that carb properly, new wires, plugs, a splash of coolant and have fun!

Need more content on the Lincoln! You see people working on Chevys, Caddy's and all the other cars but rarely see someone working on a Lincoln, not to mention an old Continental like this. I would love to see you go through the whole thing mechanically and clean it all up, maybe do some mods like lower it with some nice wheels and then cruise with it. :D Those 462s are such smooth engines when they run properly. I'm stoked for more of this beauty!

I would love to see more of the Lincoln!

Yes rebuild the Lincoln been wanting to see this for time

462 isn't the largest displacement engine that Ford ever built. It was the 1100 cubic inches for an all aluminum tank engine. They called it the GAA.

12 rotor the Lincoln brother, plenty of room and it would be epic.

1:15 holy cow! That guy explaining the syncros needs a drink! I can see why he is not a welder!😮

This reminds me of vice grip garage. I love it!

I had a 67. Lincoln... I have had all the best 60s cars.

I've been waiting YEARS ROB!

The last little jump on the trailer was priceless!

the clip of you 2 stepping the 3 rotor loaded on the trailer in the drive way is amazing and now its back haha

What a classic breakdown sound at the end. Straight from a horror movie. I love the Lincoln glad to see it back

Aww man, a restomod would be so cool! It would be such a sweet addition to your growing collection

Lincoln updates!!! My dream come true

Loved it! Thanks

NGL I did not expect this content from Rob, but its welcome!

I am sucker for that Lincoln Blue. Really pretty colour! I wish I could get my hands on one of these, these are dream to work on. I'd restomod the hell out of it.

I can't wait for Holley to send you a Sniper kit for that thing!

This reminded me of your "Why you shouldn't daily drive a classic car" video, that video is absolutely hilarious and the comments make it that much funnier 😂I've never seen so many people with no sense of humour in one comments section lol.

Wholesome content today, need more

Awesome episode really like simple stuff as well wish you would use this as your towing rig set it low and tidy the engine up😮

really enjoyed this video

Never seen a 5 cylinder Lincoln before! Must be super rare!

Fun fact, I discovered your channel when you made a video : why you should not daily drive a classic car😊

Love a classic Lincoln, I got a ‘65 myself

My 2nd car was a 1979 lincoln Mark V. I miss that car, boats are fun to drive.

Dude idk why but when old engines diesel it is the funniest thing to me!

Hell yeah the lincoln is coming!

Felt like I was watching VGG ❤

Man that things slick!!

I feel this needs a resto mod done.. Rebuild the motor and do kinda show car style. For suspension, do air bags or air ride and drop it on 20inch rims. Then do some custom interior or original revamped and modernized. Would be sick build to bring back to Michigan and do woodward cruise again.

Ah, carburators and distributors. I wish everything was that easy! 😂😂😂

Could be my favourite new project car on Yt.

The Lincoln Continental is one of my all time favorite cars :)

My friend bought a cherry Cartier edition back when we were in high school off this elderly fella for $400. The best boat on the road.

Doesn’t have to be relatable! Just has to be you man. Doin whatever the hell you want.

Didn’t realize this was a rob video for 4 days 😮‍💨

OMG, the ending had me cracking up

Also very fun too see, although also still waiting for the return of the rx8 :p

Didnt expect a will it run from this channel lol

I like the blue paint

Oh feels good to be back in the blue garage
