Flipped me out when you said "the dipstick is stuck" I don't think I've ever seen that before. Shame the engine is that bad. Hope someone still rescues the ol girl. What a regal ride she once was.

It's really a shame when beautiful cars from a time when car design meant something are allowed to deteriorate to such a terrible degree. The owner should have taken steps to preserve it long before the trees around it grew so big. But I give you credit for making a try.

You are on for a restoration just to get it running! I’m sure no electric seats or windows are working, etc. Appreciate you looking at something else on his yard to keep the owner excited. You two have a great heart!

Babe! It moved! Every car guy needs a Christina. Great work from the both of you!

'' That car is a priesner and the trees are the jail bars ' ha hah, that's a good one!

This Lincoln was beautiful when it was new !!

We need an educational campaign to teach casual car fans the "first do no harm." If you need to pinch a part from a derelict vehicle, at least stuff some rags in the hole and close the damn hood or windows. So many cool cars get ruined beyond restoration by idiots who might as well be vandals.

that motor is now a ship anchor

Richard and Christina Hello Friends, God Bless you both for trying to bring this old Lincoln Continental 4door car back around !! It's really a shame that the owner left this beautiful classic car out in the woods like this !!!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😫😫😫😫

Mr. B. Here ! 🍔🍸👀😎👍. LOL Remove from tomb, let see what adventurer it would be , what have you guys got to loose . 👀😎👍

Awesome show! Please keep up the great content. This Lincoln appears to be a 1969 model though.

Don´t be too disappointed, Richard, it´s not your fault.

You guys are amazing at what you do even fighting against mother nature taking this one back but not all of them are gonna be runners. The effort is always appreciated to save these old gems!

Hello you two as a recent retiree i have so much respect for you. I wish i could find me a older car to have fun in.

It’s sad that this one was so far gone

I think the owner knew someone or him self had been trying to get that one to run because it had no spark plugs and no carburetor that's why he wanted y'all to do that one to work a miracle on it.

The Lincoln Continental, WOW! That sucker is buried guys, watch out for critters Christina!😮😮😮 I know one thing Richard, I wouldn’t be crawling underneath that thing brother! Seems like the ole man wants the worst one rescued! lol 🤣😂🤣

Great try on this Lincoln, you two! Sometimes they are too far gone. Cheers anyway!

I wish I knew you when I had my ‘66 Lincoln. Had the engine rebuilt (twice). First guy did it wrong. A racing team rebuilt it the second time. They did a great job. I ended up donating it to a veteran’s group

To bad it was that far gone! Would be so cool you drove it out there!

The miracle has been extended!❤

Hello Christina and Richard ! Richard you have the perseverance and patience of a patron saint ! When I saw the intake full of forest fixings and no plugs , I would have bailed !! I know you were trying to save it for that gentleman , still you're a mechanic not a magician ! I was wondering when a pipe was going on your breaker bar !! Christina I always gotta applaud your camera work , you keep us right in the middle of the action !! Bless you guy's, your efforts are so appreciated!!

Oh my God! He would pick the one with trees that have grown over hoods? Praying you can get it running. I don't understand why they don't protect the cars better.

It’s ok guys, thanks for sharing Christina and Richard! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻💯💯

Richard you are right when it done it done

The motor was totally neglected for many years. Thanks for another entertaining video.

Hi Cristina and Richard well wow I couldn't believe how bad that was but as soon as you realised there was no plugs or carb I suspected it was toast, never mind, can't wait for next project really enjoy your videos cheers 🥂

I think your approach to this car was spot on. No point to get your volunteer team to try and work on a lost cause. It is a shame that the car was left in the situation it was. Onwards to the next rescue which i will be watching with enthusiasm!

Gave it the ol college try... My hat's off to ya. Can't wait to see what's next. I'm rootin fer ya!

Had a 68 back in high school. Loved the thermometer style speedometer!!!!! Turned white as you accelerated and at 70 it turned red!

I love the sound of nature in the background

Richard and Christina. They did exactly what I said. They took out that rear tree. And pulled it back. Going to be a tough one. No plugs in it and no carburetor. I think you have met your match on this one. That much rust inside an engine is just the impossible. And your the best I have seen on will it run. Love y’all 💕💯👊👍

I just started watching the video, and I know the both of you can get this running , no doubt

Solid 428cui boat-anchor, lol.😅

The sad thing is that if the owner really wants it to run he would not have let it set up this long

Christina i know you will find out all the tea of this vehicle! So fun to watch you both! ❤ The channel

This is going to be good !! You should put a piece of pipe on the breaker bar for leverage that would move it if it was meant to be

Thank you for sharing Richard

Good to you doing more videos again

Thats the only reason Im watching

I fell many trees never with a tree so close. Interesting!

You guys gave it a decent shot like you say sometimes it just don't work out awesome video thank you Richard and Christina

Thanks for another , Brother !

I remember the Omega car batteries. They were sold at Walmart stores back in the mid-to-late 1980s; maybe into the early 1990s. So, that’s likely when the Lincoln went ‘out of service’.

Save the Foxbody in the background!!

Back in the days when they made real luxury cars.

I understand that you can't fix everything Richard but you guys are awesome together and I love your videos and I will watch pretty much anything you post.

Richard is going to get the most out of those orange gloves!😂

Great video guys what a find just wow and its got the suicide doors that makes it even cooler in my book thanks for sharing and see you in your next video.

besides the valves the lifters are definitely stuck with the amount of rust on the rockers. Nice try but I think the engine Is gone. R.I.P. Lincoln. Good video guys.

Ah Richard that was such a shame the engine was too far gone. It is such a cool car.

60s Continentals are some of my favorite cars. I was rooting for this one.

Is that sound cicadas- that you got so used to you, can't get scared anymore😊

Even if by some great miracle the engine could have been started, the interior would have been a mess to get cleaned out. Once critters get inside it's almost a given they trash everything. It's a shame the plugs were out and the intake wasn't better protected, even if it meant putting a junked carb over the ports. Plus, with all the open ended hoses, that engine just didn't stand a chance....but you guys never give up and that makes for great videos.

Gallant try Richard! I agree the Lincoln isn’t worth going any further.

Believe it or not, the dipstick sticks on my Crown Victoria sometimes....but not that bad. I think it's due to the engine heat. I just give it a little twist and it comes out. 😅 The part that you pull on is made of plastic, so that probably contributes to it. It would have been cool to get this Lincoln running, but unfortunately some of them want to continue to sleep. You gave it a great effort, Richard. Thanks for sharing!

Hey guys my dog Bender and I love your channel! Teague & Bender the dog.

It's going to take lots of work, lots of time, and probably lots of money to get this car back on the road.

I agree Richard, this is definitely going to be a MIRACLE CAR for yall! Let’s get er done guys! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

nice work guys-even funny at times-but all you can do is try-good job guys!!

Beautiful car, great challange!

Poor Lincoln 😢. Great jobb om trying Greatings from Sweden

Great effort! Great job! Great to see!

Excellent video Christina :) ,.Eugene :) , Richard :) also have one Dipstick for Engine Oil do same this did on Lincoln car , but do remember my older brother 1979 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS Dipstick on Turbo 350 3 speed Automatic transmission was get one years and what happen tube squeeze of bottom and took a pair vise grip pull out ! Then pull tube out put different in and Dipstick went in fine plus pull out too! Next one was was a Costumer vechile 2002 Chevrolet Cheyenne with 460LE 6 speed Automatic transmission and 5.3 Vortex V8 350 (327) engine oil Dipstick truck was in vechile accident ! Bend tubes on both and was task to do!

Richard I am sure I heard it in your voice when you said the plugs and carb were out & off. The chances of that engine turning or running without a total rebuild needed a prayer answered. I was a bit surprised with your experience that you had not chalked all pulleys and belts before you tried to turn the crank. Even if the crank does not turn you can easily verify other stuck components water pump alternator air con. comp. Power steering. It is all nice to know where the problems are. What a big job that was to remove the trees. Good luck with your next selection.

Hi Richard and Christina, yes, that's a shame that engine was in such a state that you couldn't possibly get it running. But it was a magnificent effort anyway. Looking forward to the next one! Many Blessings to you all!

For the record I saw the water pump pulley move about a 1/2” the first time Christina saw it move. 😂

Found your channel today really enjoyed it. What does shame after all that work you put into it looking forward to the next one Eddie UK🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

thanks man

I think you may have met your match with the Lincoln Richard.

It does sadden me to see this vehicle in this condition. I mean one can tell that the body of the car has been repainted and it does indeed have the rust cancer in the usual places. But the car appears to be fairly complete. The reason for it being in the junk yard is not really known, but it is sad to see it left out in the elements for so long. These Lincoln Continentals are beasts. The drive train on these cars are heavy duty Ford truck (I took the running gear out of one that was being scrapped). The interior creature comforts of these cars have left no stone unturned. And there was no electronics in the operation of all of the devices in the A/C controls and so forth. It was all vacuum chambers and there must of been miles of vacuum lines. I gutted one of these out for a fellow who had bought it for parts and the body was in bad shape and we scrapped it. I see the usual rust in this car but this car has all the stuff. This is one you should get and put a 100 point restoration on for Christina to drive.

Hi yall from west Alabama love yA

Great idea

maybe try to find another junked/ used lincoln for the motor .plenty were made.

Before I finish watching I just want to say that little Mustang in the background looks interesting too!

Some you win some you can't. That one as soon as I saw the plugs out and the carbureter gone, and then the bore scope. Good try, next one hopefully. I always look forward to watching you two work miracles on most of these old rides.

Lincoln’s were the top of the line then and now Christina! Richard knows that! Very much luxurious but they have always been high priced but worth it if you could afford it!

Lots of vacuuming and Lots of Creeoil!🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼 Guys if it doesn’t work, don’t feel bad! Just another day! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I like the 65 Fairlane sitting next to the Lincoln

I like your videos it's great

1969 model. Last yr for that body style which was from 1965. It was a mild restyle of the 61-64s. They are unitized bodies. Surprised it didn't break in half. The engine is probably okay or rebuildable. It needs the heads off to know for certain.

Was hoping y'all would go for it! Lol

Im 65, i remember seeing lots of this year Lincolns running around. My teacher had one. It was a pale light blue color. Sad that someone took out the plugs and let the damp air in it, same for the carb. Of course its possible the undercarriage is a rusted out nightmare too.

Sad such a neat old car with suicide doors. You all have new subscriber .great video. Thanks for sharing .

That was unfortunately beyond repair, but you at least investigated it. Can't win them all.

This was sad. Never seen a engine that bad. That car would be a gem restored. You gave it your best try.

The damage was done years ago guys, no carby, no plugs. Just walk away. The fault lies with the person who originally did this.

Thanks!

Well cistena has a lot of hope god bless her for that

Richard and Christina Friends i hope that this classic car can be still rescue !! If the body , structure can be repair 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

If yall are going to keep doing rescues, yall need to find a rescue truck with toolboxes for everything Richard needs to get the job done and preferably a 4 wheel drive so he or you can pull the vehicle out of its grave! I really enjoy watching Richard and Christina’s rescues, you guys ROCK,

GodBless Your Effort But that Yard Had A lot of Great Patients To Rejuvenate

Omg you guys are awesome

I wanted to point out that that Lincoln is a 1969, NOT a 1965!

Surely he's got a better car than that to get running

Yeah. There’s a technical term for the condition of that engine. It’s just not a term you can use on a family channel. You gave it a real good try though. 😊

WOW, open top end is bad news! Never know what’s down in the engine, at least moisture! If you can get it to turn over those piston rings are probably going to be bad! Waiting for Richard to fill it up with penetrating oil, possibly get her to turn over! The old man definitely picked the WORST ONE! Good luck guys but you know Richard is a magician when it comes to mechanics! I have faith in Richard’s ability! And his “waa hoo “! lol 🤣😂🤣😂

I've said it once, I'll say it again. You guys must have a direct link to my wish list. That Lincoln is on it, and if I lived down there, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat. Too far north being in Minnesnowta, but that car is too hard to find to leave it there. I hope someone grabs it, and not for parts. Although, I don't know the underside, I see so much possibility, and those cars are true gangster cars. I see the lovable in the unloved junkers, and this is one.

RUST IN PEACE!

One of his favorites. But, allowed the trees to grow around it. 🤦🏾
