God love you man. I'm glad I watched. Saving an old Mark 5. Of course I hit the like button. Those things are royalty.

Those are beautiful classics ! They truly are special !

This MARK V is LOADED with options and has the very rare Versailles Interior Option. This was, for the time, one very expensive MARK V. Duel Exhaust is another very rare option.

Thanks for this video. I really enjoyed watching you troubleshoot each issue.

Hey Rust I like the Lincoln she is kool got to try n save her

Those Mark V's have a very strong frame. I know someone who cut the top off to make a convertible, and he trailers a Continental Mark II with the Mark V. So just do that (cut the top off)

I like how you shoot your videos, straight to the point and get an overall view of the car. Lot of guys on KZfaq waste time talking about themselves or insignificant things you are straight to the point, take a look at the trunk, the interior, then pop the hood and get started on the engine. Great video!

Wow! Can't believe you did it. You knew everything about everything on that car. Enjoyed watching the full video.

hey buddy we are proud of you keep up the good work its a joy to see you making it work agin😊

Excellent!,..Great Job Guy,.Hope You Continue and Fix er Up n Bring it Back to it`s Former Glory

Just stumbled across you and love your content. Will be watching more ❤

The rust on the roof it could be repaired with fiberglass layer and bondo and a new windshield you have your self a Lincoln continental 👍

Great job on getting that ole Lincoln running and on the road.

I'd make it a daily driver, but that's me . . . I love it

Turn it into a convertible it would look awesome. And I think it would be a easy job to do I watched the video on pole barn garage he did this. Good luck with your project

Just recently bought a 79 and immediately saw this on my recommended. Amazing video!

After no spark, i screamed, change the neverstart box😂😂

GREAT JOB MAN

LOL, Love the intro. Nice project.

I love the sound of that starter!

Well you got me for the entire video. Man you have some faith in that jack! 😂 I saw the jack stand off cam. Maybe it's one of them harbor freight killers

your amazing thank you for a very educational video!🤔

Well done my friend. slow and patient ... working through the issues until your good to go. awsesome vid. No sped up shit with music. Cheers.

I enjoyed watching that 460 engine come to life. Starting in 1977, the C6 transmission uses Type CJ (Dexron) transmission fluid, not Type F.

Great job bringing her bk to life.I was thinking of buying a 79...That distributor looks like a pain w those lil clips..had a bunch of lincolns.Cbeers.P

This video really help me with my car

The best way to fix the roof is find one with a good roof and cut the roof off and weld on the new roof it's not to bad I did it to a 70 chevelle.

I love 70s lincoln this is 1 gorgeous car and very durable ❤

I haven't watched the entire video yet but I just wanted to mention that intro was hilarious 😂

Fun project! Keep her on the road. Never a fan of derby cars taking out our big classics.

I have a 79 Bill Blass Mark V. Without a doubt the smoothest riding car I've ever owned to date. The car arrives at it's destination before I do. 🤣 Get that boat back on the road! Cheers

love MarkV"s , have fun with it

Very well done that Man 💯👋

That's a nice sounding tractor.

Rust Wrangler Friend Hello this Car can be saved For sure, never was a fan of those vinyl top cars but you could replace the top roof skin, with new metal i Highly recommend that !! I would try to stay away from that Bondo, or fiberglass, for patching, that roof back together !! You should try to see if you could find a good donor car too cut the top off of that to fix that roof back together properly , because this car is worth it !!

that's unfortunate about the roof. You should do what @Pole Barn Garage did. Cut the roof off and make this into a convertible

Dude good job, perfect KZfaq time killer! Wouldn’t mind seeing a video where you clean it up.

good video

good job!

That’s a very rare Bill Blass .. Top of the line in 1977. What a shame.

Enjoyed the video and want to see more. For the love of God, put a jack stand under it. All it takes is that jack to fail or slip and your a driveway stain.

It needs a whole carburetor rebuild to be able to start easier and not burp when you turn it off. The idle is about 500 rpm’s high from what I hear and it’s probably to keep the car idling from that bad carb

That man has guts.. It is also impressive to tackle constantly new problems, and solve them in turn. But is there a part II..? When will it arrive?

The ignition switch is down in the lower column, i believe

good for you buddy.... parts cars for sure....

I loved my 78 Lincoln Mk V with a 460 got 26 mpg hiway i've owed about 5 lincolns

Yeah brother

Wow what a shame man she was a beauty in the day

I always wonder...when a car has hidden headlights, and they're closed, it's like it's asleep...what is it dreaming about?

what a beautiful car, america that i loved (not like today with, plastic, computered, misshappen, japanized boxes).--. If you restore this car and want to protect this car and be definitively efficient against rust , you should put grease everywhere. grease is the only thing very efficient against rust. put grease between metal and carpet, inside door, behind metallic bumper, under the vehicle, behind the repairs you can make (everywhere inside the body - hidden erea - instead of using paint), hollow areas (necessarily hidden, so no need to be aesthetic). For rear wings unreachable with a paintbrush, use an extender and pour old oil everywhere each year. Rust almost always comes from the inside and welds. Handyman Experience - 35 years.

If you ain’t testing, you guessing. Parts cannon!

If you ever wanna sell her It would be good company next to my maroon 78 Cartier. I love the Mark Vs and have owned many over the years. got my first one for $25 when I was 16. The rust under those Landau tops are the big killer on most Vs unfortunately.

My dad had the exact car when i was a kid been looking for one

Nice job! But please, use jack stands. Accidents happens 😢

A lot of gremlins in that car but it was interesting to watch you tackle them one by one. She would be a money pit to bring back to original but also interesting to see. I'm not holding my breath, they were money pits from the factory. You had to have it to own one. We lose so much because people don't have the ability or knowledge to take care of what they own.

I’m sure it was a beautiful car back in the day. But, this would be a expensive restoration. I had a mark IV every thing was power on it. You need a donar car. Congratulations on the start. Part it out or scrape it. Too expensive to fix up. 💯👊

This car has the same two tone blue as the 79 my old next door neighbor's son promised to sell me when he was done with it. He moved out and I never seen the car again. It was absolutely frigging gorgeous! When I seen him visiting his parents he apologized saying he forgot about it. I would love to see this restored back to its original glory. The color being the same as the 79 is what really peaked my interest.

Daily driver for somebody for sure.

Welcome to the 70's - A whole lot of cars had that dieseling issue - there should be an anti-dieseling solenoid that completely closes the throttle - no idle at all - when the key is turned off.

well pleased for you mate getting her driving great when all the work pays off take care

Cut the roof off..add a chassis bracing..voila convertible..also dump the autolite carb for a holley and instantly rid the bogging and prolly add a couple HP...that era of autolites were not great.

Never even clean all that windshield lyrics flying in your face

in your intro you need a Cowboy hat but I see your a bit tall :) I had a 77 cougar and had the same problems with the ignition

I have a 78 Lincoln mark v and my sending unit is stuck on empty. I was told that the float might have holes in it where gas getting in making it to heavy. I want to change the float are all float compatible or do I need a ford or Lincoln do you have any advice.

The good old day’s

Good job! But being a ford only guy. It’s pains me to watch you work on that ignition system. Lol

Qual liquido você colocou no radiador quero dizer qual liquido de arrefecimento ?

The 460 made a whopping 197 horsepower in 1977. Throw away all the smogger crap, throw on decent heads and cam, and it'll be a rocket. That early emissions junk didn't work anyway.

Parts cannon engaged😂

Nice! I'm not a big fan of "patina" but I think this car would be perfect to satin-clear and slam. Would look really tough.

HEY RUST WRANGLER,, YOU DIDNT TELL US WHERE YOU GOT THAT OLD BABY ,, IF THAT OLD CAR COULD TALK WOW!! WHAT RIDES IT WOULD TELL US GOING DOWN THE ROAD... MAX AND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING KZfaq VIDEOS WHERE PEOPLE GOT BURIED IN THERE CARS OR MOTOR CYCYLES IN THE GRAVE YARDS BECAUSE THEY LOVED THEM SO MUCH .. THIS CAR LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST PULLED OUT OF THE GROUND RUSTING IN THAT HOLE FOR SO LONG.. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH OLD GIRL..GREAT DASH,, AND SEATS YA!! MY SON MAX AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE DIS. CAP,, WOW!! WHAT LESSON YOU GAVE US ON THAT WE NEVER OUT OF MY YEARS WORKED ON A CAR WITH A DIS. CAP LIKE THAT WITH THOSE SMALL PINS AND OTHER THINGS.. I THINK THE OLD OWNER GAVE UP AND LEFT IT ..WE LIKE THOSE FLIP LIGHTS ..SO HAPPY IT STARTED!!!! SOME TIMES THESE NEW PARTS THE CARS DONT LIKE IT,,, WASNT MADE ALMOST THE SAME IN ITS DAYS.. MAX LIKES THE HORSES YOU HAVE NEAR THE BARN... WOW!! AFTER 27YR.S ITS ROLLING .. YOU NEED TO KEEP MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO ON THIS CAR!!! THIS WAS SO AWSOME AND VERY HELPFUL .. THANKS FROM MAX 7 YR.S OLD AND I ..

Isn’t there gonna be a part2 on The Mark V? The idea would be a mechanical restoration series.

The size of this car is jaw dropping but the years before were even bigger. Hard to imagine this was the downsized version but it’s true!

460 Lincoln!

Since the roof is so gone it would be cool if it was just done with a steel frame and plexiglass

Can this roof be replaced.?

Anyway I can get in contact with you to ask some questions??

Fix it those are good cars get a donor roof it can be done.

I would use 10w40 or 15w40

At furst sight, I say pull the engine and transmission and junk the rest.

That dieseling sounds like a bad carburator or timings is off......

At 70 years of age i have owned many 1970's Lincolns. Have done lots of tepairs and a few restorations. Unfortunately what you have there is a very good parts car. The cost of restoration would far exceed the value. You are much better off to spend more money on one that needs very little if any work. You can still buy a good driver quality car for 6K. 10 to 12k will buy you a very nice car and 20 to 25k will buy you an exceptional car. In my experience, this one is just too far gone. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

First video I saw when I typed mark v restoration! Saw your vid, and I was amazed at how you broke down the problems one at a time to get this Dino back to life! New sub.! Great video!❤❤

Lol make her a rag top with no rag lol

You can still find lots of thunderbirds and Lincoln's in the junkyard to cut and replace that roof.

Crush it ,you can find one in much better condition.

Make it a convertible

If 3 won't get you home 5 never would have. ha ha.

90% of the time these fords with no spark is the ignition module.

Vinal tops kill cars, moisture gets trapped between vinal and steel and rusts them out!

So that’s a con nenal , I thought it was a Continental.

Would you sell it?

Starter switch is bad

For God's sake use jack stands !!!!

talk about " clapped out !!!" the 460 engine is poor quality like FORD is.....

Vinyl roofs were the most idiotic feature ever. Who thought that putting the interior on the outside was smart? Especially when coupled with a water absorbing foam pad.

動くようにしたのはいいがこれから先は？ やるなら中途半端かなせずにフルレストアしてやってくれよ！

Those landau tops are horrible. Cut it off and make it a convertible.

why....just why........spend 8 or 9 hundred ......and get a better one

Those brain boxes are the worst
