- This is one of the new arrivals we got in. And this poor thing just kept staring at me from across the field. Something told me we had to see if it would run, so here we are, and lets see what happens!
I love how at 2:03 the gas gauge was just like "oh screw it, I give up!"
That engine might be worth saving for a project, also I had no idea those continentals were FWD.
They only fit FWD trans though.
I think it's worth putting some wheels/tires on it to see what it does. It definitely sounds healthy, nothing wrong with that engine.
justsomeguytoyou
I’m thinking the same thing
Its FWD, not even worth fixing!
Not even gonna lie I honestly thought these were rear wheel drive
Past continentals were rear wheel drive but around the mid 90's they went to front wheel drive
@@THRASHDEATH1995 Actually 1988 was the first year for fwd when it switched to being built off the Taurus platform.
Jay Leno Smart.....he now adds comedian to his many talents. Other Leno similarities, a huge car collection, an internet TV show, vast multi manufacturer car knowledge. I wonder if Jay Leno lives in a "double wide" or cuts his own lawn!!! LOL!!! Jay Leno would be a cool guest to the Recycling Center. Do a show on daily beaters we all duct tape and bail wire together for transportation!
Fords will always run Jay, and Lincoln is a luxury Ford so that's why it ran for you
realimbored668 that other Ford the Crown Victoria surely didn't! But you are right, must ford's will run, just won't move because the transmission went bad. Lincolns definitely are the best Ford vehicles!
This one seems like it's worth saving.
Christ it used a full tank of gas real quick!
Might have been a hole in the gas tank
Here an idea. Take the tires off the Ford with blown timing and if they'll fit put them on the Continental.
Avenger 1 i was thinking the same thing. Will they fit?
Yes you made a video on the Continental I love Lincoln’s and you should put the crown Vic rims and tires in this car and drive it around!! Please save this car!
Always sad to see these in this condition. Someone's pride and joy about 20 years ago.
Why not put some tires on it and see if it drives?.
Damn that engine sounds badass
Adam Correia those intec32v engines are very similar to the 96-98 cobras, stout engines for sure
Go for part 2 of this Lincoln, please???
Cool, put tire's on it and drive it around :)
Sounds good, these cars are fun to beat on.. I would only drive my continental hard when on the hwy , not from a stop from first gear to second is where you will kill a transmission on these. My transmission never needed clutches or anything but it did have a shudder so I replaced the torque converter and had a fluid leak and that took out the pump.. But was an easy fix, the valve body has the pump in it..so I just put a used valve body in it and cleaned out all the aluminum bits in the pan new fluid and filter and it was good again. The ride is so smooth, you don't feel the bumps it like riding on a cloud compared to my 03 Cartier Town car.
Gotta love those old dot matrix displays in the dash.
Wash it slap some tires on it change the oil and you'll get $5-600 all day
Put the crown Vic tires and rims on it
Mitchell Martinez YES
That thing sounds gnarly
CoinHuntingDrew
It sounds garbled
That Lincoln deserves another chance! They're definitely not Town Cars, but they are comfy cruisers!
Nicer interior wise than town cars sadly but not correct wheel drive or as large as a town car.
Safe the engine!
Please! Put some wheels on it and a muffler a and find it a home.
B17 Flying Fortress no muffler make it a hot rod
This'll make a nice driving machine. Hopefully you don't hafta scrap it. There are other cars in worse conditions that can go first instead
You know what's sad. That car probably runs better than my pos winter beater. Lol
So sad to see such a nice ride end up in the junkyard. Even though it runs something is wrong with it, otherwise it won't be there. Still a sad sight.
Was it wishful thinking of the 60's-70's version when you said Lincoln Continental.
I have one of those 1997 I've had it now for it will be six years this coming April and it only has 132.000 on it I have heated seats also, And Mine is an Original Owner he had it for almost 17 years...
So you're in 2020?
Got you a good name for your channel, " rodknockers and diamonds" just think about it some come in with a rod knocking or it becomes a diamond in the rough lol
That thing sounds so damn good
The car started with a full tank and after a few minutes it was on empty
v8
that's normal.
cody kamminga 😂
By the sound of it NOTHING wrong with the engine sounds quite healthy!
Save it! It’s still got a little life left in it for sure
96 and 97 were the best years for these babies!
It sounds awsom ..nice job man!!
Great video sick 👍👍
Put some wheels on it and drive it to 200K. Sell it and you've got a profit.
0:46 Jay that was actually funny asf
Got to love the sound of the DOHC version of the 4.6L.
I'm curious to what's on that cassette...
I love it! I really hope someone could save it. Gotta hate seeing these cars getting junked. Nevertheless it sounds really good tho! How about getting some wheels on her?
1996 conti....that hard button EATC unit is worth about $100, the guys with the soft button ones use replace their battered units with this, 96 only will work.
Save it
Will it run better if the exhaust wasn't stuffed in the dirt?
any chance you could ship some parts to a naval base in the middle east i need a cluster for a 95 explorer and a ac control for a 05 tahoe
Anyone else notice that it read a full tank of fuel at first?
Brady Fox I did
Brady Fox yeah look at 2:01
Title, under 200k, good drivetrain, decent shape, deserves to be fixed back up...
Kevin Isam good lemons car
That one seems a bit too good to be heading for scrap...
love that sound.
I'm always shocked that some of these things run.....
Tow it out of the mud and see if it'll drive w/ no wheels.
Put some tires on it and sell it.
are you selling it? and if so, how much?
The engine sounds awesome. I didn’t think a car like that would be front wheel drive tho
Yes, it has a great traction control system too - it is almost like AWD in the snow. I love mine. Would buy it new today.
Whatever happened to this beast Jay? Hope it found a home!
Throw some wheels on it and take it home!
That sucks about the crown vic, but that continental sounds good and might be a good car after all!! A keeper?
For some reason I dig that continental put some wheels and tires on it and go for a rip around the junk yard, would love to see that
Do a vid on the iroc camaro
Nice car !!!
Sounds great!
Had one just like this.
It hauled ass but really expensive to work on.
sad to think that you start some of these cars more than likely the last time ever.
motaz1975
Like the last petting an animal gets before being butchered almost. I thought the same thing.
Show the crown vic next please.
Damn that beast sounds good
That car is in decent condition i would drive it
Jay smart are you going to start up the 1981 mustang
why do people scrap these running cars to your yard?????? It stupid if it runs at least sell it to a street dealer or privately keep it on the road. That is just foolish! But I guess we are a throw away society. People from other countries less fortunate than us (here in the U.S.) they would keep that car as long as it is running and make do with it and repair as needed.
Someone will want that motor for a mustang
I love it sounds like a hot rod, but shot exhaust most likely
Cut cats
These things are junk man, never EVER seen one with 196k before , the Towncar is what you want hands down . Continentals are money pits, but when they work they're fucking cool though
Not true, they are pretty reliable. I have 170k on mine. Some minor shit but a survivor.
Sounds very badass
Save it lol
put some wheels on it and see if it drives good
I like that Lincoln!
Drive it and take it home with you plz I have one thay run for ever
Damn I love to buy that car for sure what a beast
and take off your boots in the continental too ;)
Runs better than my roommate's car!
Jay, do you have any corolla parts in stock? I have a 97 with the 5 speed, 1.8 litre
You forgot the collon in the title to make a sad face, I believe you meant, “ :( “ and not, “ ( “
(Frown represents the sadness of it being junked)
I rarely see continentals of that generation where I live. I see the newest town cars a lot though.
I-roc t top next plz
Ive had one the contental was the 800 best car ive ever had lasted us and the previous owner 5 yrs of B.C. to sask the. B.C. to alberta constantly was pretty quick for being a essentially a v8 taraus
A 97 with a tape deck? Definitely marketed to old folks. What size engine is that?
4.6 DOHC V8
E Meyer Thanks.
john dietrich
That's an awful lot of power for front wheel drive.
Sure was in 1995.
jaguar s type
I grew up around Jaguars, my dad worked at a dealership from '75 until sometime in the nineties. I love the cars, but I am very aware of that market group. I used to love riding around in E types and XJS with V12s!
Where can I get a header mount panel
There’s a continental in my back yard 97
Those are some fucking cars. I drive one every day, love it.
alb12345672 Me too! I just got a 2018 a few days ago with a 150k warranty. I hope it holds up like my 88 town car currently does; it has 300k and I drive 60k/year on my cars. I'll keep my lincolns over Germans any day
Full tank of gas and no ties life doesn't get much better than that
Why the crown did not wheels?
hmm anyone else made a satin joke here? as look at the miles
only 190k?
Works just like new, it could be sold as an old daily driver
The JBL radio and the EATC unit will bring quite some money on ebay.
eaglevision993 yeah especially with the updated hard button style
Do you still have it and is it for sale?
Lol went to full to empty quick reving it!
Make it into a field car
Make it a field car.
i woudl keep it and fix it up
I think you can put any taurus 16 incher, same suspension and cailipers
Save that car plz it s too good for scrap
