In 1989 I had a new Limo built by Vinney at Ultra Limousine! I sat with his designers and planned the car. I signed all the papers, and then watched as the cut my brand new Lincoln in two. I went back home to Phoenix and waited for the finished car! (After watching you under the car I should have stayed and watched the structural work!) Mine was only 30' ( a 113" stretch) and had just one rear axle. The interior was about like your without the bedroom addition. I am trying to find a picture of it. Mine did have 2 TVs and bar. I also had real crystal classware in the car. There are too many stories to tell but suffice to say I had a lot of fun with it. My favorite thing to do with it was to load it up with 8 or 10 friends and have the Chauffer Drive us for a night on the town. That car took me all over Arizona -= including the Grand Canyon and even a gravel road about 10 mile to a well-know ghost town in the Bradshaw mountains. By the way, That 302 engine took the car, full of people, anywhere we wanted to go. It was one of the best toys I ever owned.
As a retired welder, I'm horrified at the conglomerate of scrap metal that escaped the smelter and was welded in place by Ray Charles. Watching you clean this up will be a lot of fun. Do with it what you will. It will be great no matter what.
I haven't welded anything in 30 years and wasn't great then and I could do better than that with 30 minutes to get my set up right and run a couple practice runs....I mean dang that's beyond unacceptable.... that's why these old units are low mile and cheap...a lot of builders in the 80s and 90s were shady.
You've aptly described the stretch limousine industry of the 80s. I've been in the industry for decades, and I have to say, no builder in the 80s and most of the 90s did a single thing differently. It wasn't until Ford and GM started suing people out of existence who weren't in the QVM (Ford) and CMC (Cadillac) programs that quality started to improve. Places like Ultra were still s**tshows though. Fun fact: 80s Town Cars weren't built much better than what the stretch builders were doing to them. That's why, with VERY few exceptions, 80s Town Car stretches are all "sway back" bent.
Kevin’s like me automotive son lol Sometime in the future we may get back together for something. Iv been hella busy with moving, getting married, switching jobs .... many things 😂
Pls no matter in how bad of a condition this is, don't wreck it. Please. This thing is so cool and just screams 80s materialism. If it's too expensive pls sell it to someone that's capable to do so.
It really wasn't materialistic people just had a lot of money after paying bills it was a much better standard of living in people enjoyed themselves. Politicians like to put the 80s down because they know it was a winning time frame
I think that you should make it an RV and go on RV trips think about it it's already got a TV it's already got three couches and it has a bar all you need is a way to cook and a restroom and there you go I think that would be a good one
All I can say about this beauty is I built these for a living and I avoided riding in them even when new. It’s still killer to see an old rig like this getting so much love.
I wonder what company did this cars body? Looks like some mess choo choo customs would do.. same company that does camero/elcamino front ends and chevy g20 vans..
This find is gold... plated! Seriously though, I want to see you do a total refresh. Maybe this could be your luxury camper? Imagine how hilarious it would be pulling into a campground with this beast!
@@Dave5843-d9m That would be interesting. But probably difficult and expensive. I would just fix the obvious undercarriage issues. Maybe replace the forward couch with another sleeping area. I’d keep the middle couch. Turn the bar into a kitchen cooktop/sink and counter/table. Then I would probably update the cheese factor with a bunch of modern LED coloured strips and maybe some EL Wire so you could really blast the colourful 80’s vibe with pink, blue and purple. I’ve seen EL Wire used as a low power consumption “neon” sign. It works. Just need to make an armature to hold the wire, paint it black and affix the EL wire with black zip ties.
Find a set of twins. Get one to drive the car to a fast-food drive-thru. Have the driver twin pay and say "Give the food to the guy/girl in the back", then let the other twin be the customer in back.
Better idea: Find a place with two drive-thru windows that are both being used. Pull up, order, then drive the driver's window to the window where you pick up the food, and pay from the back seat at the same time.
love the wheels and the gold trim ..... crazy limo, even if it's not the world's longest (I saw one with a helicopter landing pad in the back at some point in time) .... even with the scary scrap metal underneath, it deserves another chance on the road

I drove Limo for 10 years... The "I want Mcdonalds" comment was too true. Typically through the drive-through. I've also taken people to Wal-Mart and the Dollar store.
@@greenhouse3505 Varies greatly by location. Our company had a minimum 4 hour booking, except one limo we had set up for Airport runs. I recommend you make some calls locally. Make sure you ask how many limos they have in their fleet, and whether or not they're insured as a Limo . Their are a lot of owner operators that have one limo, and if it dies... you're SOL... we had 8 so if one had a mechanical issue we could cover it. There was a local single owner operator who's limo burned to the ground during a prom. He had to call our company to cover their ride home.
I remember about 35 years ago some guy in the neighborhood bought a similar used limo. He would drive it around was so proud of his limo. I saw him one day and remember telling him, you should be riding in back if you really want to show off.
turn it into a revival limo. you can do all of your long distance revivals in it and save a ton on hotel/motel bills. I mean you've got a bed, a bar, and enough space to store half an auto parts store inventory
Those TVs are not going to get anything but static. They are old analog tuners, and pretty much all broadcast signals are digital. You’d have to get converter boxes for D to A (digital to analog) and put it in the antenna chain feeding all of the TVs. Good luck!
Usually its not hard do find the 2 wires connecting the receiver module and the Tube module which expects to recieve an ordinary analog hot/ground signal. OR you find a nerd who creates an multichannel Hf Minitransmitter which coud be feeded with varous signals and let the TVset´s in original state.
Those 80-90‘s Hotwheels style wheels fits so perfect to this hilarious thing 🤣👌🏼 Looks like somebody played really hard with and buried it for 20 years in their favorite sandbox 😆
Coming back 2 years later to remind you that you promised us a Twin Turbo LS... And if you get it done you need to challenge Cleetus McFarland during one of his Limo races. ;)
Just because the plug wire ohms out fine, doesn't mean it's not cross firing (arcing). My 92' Caddy had fantastic looking wires and they ohmed out fine but still had misfires like crazy. Sprayed misty water on them at night and it was a light show of little blue sparks bouncing between eachother. With that, ya'll did a good job getting it running! I'm surprised it started and ran all in all that easy for sitting that long. Can't wait to see it cleaned up and the next video on it!! As for ideas, I say keep it original and detail it/restore it. Kind of keeping it as a throwback to the 90's haha.
Isn't it fucking strange getting old? 😂 I'm 31 myself now and I personally feel like time seems to just keep passing by more quickly as you continue getting older once you're out of like high school 😂😂

@@captainamericaamerica8090 I mean if it was just like a proper cleaning, it seemed most of the stuff inside functioned pretty well, you could replace the lighting for under 200$ and a proper cleaning would remove the majority of the stains, paint would probably be able to buff out, the gold parts wouldn’t be too hard to shine up I don’t think it would take too much to make it look good and function inside. The structural stuff would take a ton of money but most of it wouldn’t be too bad
Drives into McDonald's parking area. Two men in black exit scan and secure the parameter then guard the door, driver opens the door for Mook to exit dressed up like the Star she is.
I moved to Southern MN in 1997. There were limos everywhere in rural MN and IA. Casinos paid limo services to haul groups of people in. Then, in about 98, the casinos bought busses and many many limo services went out of business.
I was in the limo business back in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Lincolns from that era ROCK! At least they did back then, as evidenced by that nasty bed in the back.
You should literally dress up in 80 or 90 style prom clothes and drive around asking people where the prom location is at and make sure it's a venue that has been closed for 20 or more Years. Clean the Limo up as best you can and film it all
"Hey I want mc donalds" made me cringe so hard lol especially since I use to drive a cab how many times I had drunks yelling at me thise exact same words 😂
Do a take out diner thing. You take passengers to the place they want to eat. Order the food and instead of eating at the eatery, you provide fine dining in the limo as you cruise down the road listening to nothing but 80's music!
Great job getting it running again.Now that you have this old beast running, update the interior with new headlinder ,new upholstery, a good cut and polish ,and this will be in demand from many.Great job.

That was a clever statement. She is cooky AND smart :)
I have a Chilton for Escorts. I does say, "remove body from engine" in the change timing belt instructions.
I drove Limo for 10 years... The "I want Mcdonalds" comment was too true. Typically through the drive-through. I've also taken people to Wal-Mart and the Dollar store.
I can well imagine!!!
Just wondering if the hourly rate for a limo is, or would be, cheaper than an hour in a taxi?
@@greenhouse3505 Varies greatly by location. Our company had a minimum 4 hour booking, except one limo we had set up for Airport runs. I recommend you make some calls locally. Make sure you ask how many limos they have in their fleet, and whether or not they're insured as a Limo . Their are a lot of owner operators that have one limo, and if it dies... you're SOL... we had 8 so if one had a mechanical issue we could cover it. There was a local single owner operator who's limo burned to the ground during a prom. He had to call our company to cover their ride home.
you are not going to mcdonalds drive thru with that thing today
@@ufartface Or any other day with any other drive thru. It's too long. It won't fit.
I remember about 35 years ago some guy in the neighborhood bought a similar used limo. He would drive it around was so proud of his limo. I saw him one day and remember telling him, you should be riding in back if you really want to show off.
When you’re trying to catch Hantavirus because Covid just isn’t enough. 😂😂
turn it into a revival limo. you can do all of your long distance revivals in it and save a ton on hotel/motel bills. I mean you've got a bed, a bar, and enough space to store half an auto parts store inventory
True
DEEP CLEAN. I want to see it new.
Get the tires balanced for starters. Then a good cleaning inside and out. Restore it to its original condition.
I'd love to see a full restoration of this, or at least a detail vid!
Those TVs are not going to get anything but static. They are old analog tuners, and pretty much all broadcast signals are digital. You’d have to get converter boxes for D to A (digital to analog) and put it in the antenna chain feeding all of the TVs. Good luck!
I was saying the same thing! Those old tuners aren't gonna pick up anything, except maybe a leaky cable TV amplifier on a pole somewhere!
of course, all you really need is an RF modulator on channel three and feed it a computer or DVD player!
Usually its not hard do find the 2 wires connecting the receiver module and the Tube module which expects to recieve an ordinary analog hot/ground signal.
OR you find a nerd who creates an multichannel Hf Minitransmitter which coud be feeded with varous signals and let the TVset´s in original state.
You Just Need a decoder

A barn for 20 years? Damn that musta been a big barn.
Barn that still wouldn't fit my ex's ego.
Most barns are big, it wouldn’t be called a barn if it was small....that is called a shed.

Jeremy Clarkson with his Fiat Panda: Finally! A worthy opponent!
Those 80-90‘s Hotwheels style wheels fits so perfect to this hilarious thing 🤣👌🏼
Looks like somebody played really hard with and buried it for 20 years in their favorite sandbox 😆
at 32:30, thats the loudest engine I ever heard lmao
Comin’ inside we have ourselves a mook
Mook: get out 🤣
I think you have a prime candidate for 24 Hours of Lemons. You could take your entire team to the race “in style”.
That's the comment I was going to add.
As a fella would say, "That car's got more shimmy than a Shakira half time show."
Thicker that Shakira's assets..
And were talking finances here fellas, cmon now
derek would be proud
Well ill be dipped
I'm catching up on older videos after a hiatus around the time this was posted and I'm in love with this limo. Would love an update!
Imagine if this had a mechanical pump lmao, you'd be cranking for the rest of the week
How many Starters do you guys burn up on Average? Crank Crank Crank Crank Crank Crank Crank Infinity! Lmao 🤣
Only if it's a Mopar....
@@JunkyardDigs Bull shit, you use them as an additional heat source.
The "Extended Warranty" call was hilarious.
Coming back 2 years later to remind you that you promised us a Twin Turbo LS...
And if you get it done you need to challenge Cleetus McFarland during one of his Limo races. ;)
Just because the plug wire ohms out fine, doesn't mean it's not cross firing (arcing). My 92' Caddy had fantastic looking wires and they ohmed out fine but still had misfires like crazy. Sprayed misty water on them at night and it was a light show of little blue sparks bouncing between eachother. With that, ya'll did a good job getting it running! I'm surprised it started and ran all in all that easy for sitting that long. Can't wait to see it cleaned up and the next video on it!!
As for ideas, I say keep it original and detail it/restore it. Kind of keeping it as a throwback to the 90's haha.
Jesus he said 20 years and I was thinking 90s or 80s, then I realized it was 2001...
Isn't it fucking strange getting old? 😂 I'm 31 myself now and I personally feel like time seems to just keep passing by more quickly as you continue getting older once you're out of like high school 😂😂
As a 17 year old I still do this too 😂
I think that to myself all the time. Looking at car lots and find 2001 car and think the car isn't that old it's a good deal then think NVM the cars 20yo. It feels like 9/11 was just yesterday. I'm just 43! Lol.
@@stevenzeletski1730 That tune by Prince was on the radio the other day , party like it’s 1999. When he wrote it it was about the future now its party like it’s 22 years ago . Ha ha
Gonna be a hell of a cabriolet with a jacouzi in the back xD
I thought that Mook was going to do a full on Peter Griffin vs the Chicken fight. Lol
theres a few series i watch 1 or 2 times a year, this Limo series is one of them
I wouldn't mind seeing it in the junkyard digs/mook wedding!
Ah the high pitch tone of an old tube TV, brings me back to entire childhood. 🤣
Take it to the drive-in movies and see how many friends you can sneak in.😁😁😁
I bought a 89 4 door Fairmont with the 302 and 4 speed manual when stationed at Mt. Home AFB for $600. It was the ultimate sleeper, and I drove to KY while pulling a U-Haul. I miss "The Taxi" as I named it due to all the other airmen that I hauled around in it.
I wouldn't be sitting on those seats they will have more DNA samples than a fertility clinic .
Sissy
Lol
@David Armstrong old limo from the 80’s with a bed in the back . I think most of the US has had sex in it at some point . Ha ha
😂😂😂
The other Guys Movie. homeless crew ran a soup kitchen in that limo.
Please do a full restoration on this thing it’ll be so cool
YOU WILL NEED TO BE RICH
It doesn't even have to be super good, just a pretty good restoration
@@captainamericaamerica8090 I mean if it was just like a proper cleaning, it seemed most of the stuff inside functioned pretty well, you could replace the lighting for under 200$ and a proper cleaning would remove the majority of the stains, paint would probably be able to buff out, the gold parts wouldn’t be too hard to shine up I don’t think it would take too much to make it look good and function inside. The structural stuff would take a ton of money but most of it wouldn’t be too bad
Bro this opens up so many possibilities for road trips and revivals
Wow I'm glad it started up finally after after a year just barely in time to save the starter from catching fire 🔥
Drives into McDonald's parking area. Two men in black exit scan and secure the parameter then guard the door, driver opens the door for Mook to exit dressed up like the Star she is.
I moved to Southern MN in 1997. There were limos everywhere in rural MN and IA. Casinos paid limo services to haul groups of people in. Then, in about 98, the casinos bought busses and many many limo services went out of business.
I was in the limo business back in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Lincolns from that era ROCK! At least they did back then, as evidenced by that nasty bed in the back.
It doesn't rock, it shakes.
22:02 “would you like some apple cider”😂😂
"Oh my god - it's static! I haven't seen that in years."
My absolute favourite quote today.
You should literally dress up in 80 or 90 style prom clothes and drive around asking people where the prom location is at and make sure it's a venue that has been closed for 20 or more Years. Clean the Limo up as best you can and film it all
Considering the length of the car I can't believe how little they left for the driver

"Hey I want mc donalds" made me cringe so hard lol especially since I use to drive a cab how many times I had drunks yelling at me thise exact same words 😂
Would be cool to see this actually made into something nice, maybe upgrade the TV's to modern flatscreens and maybe dye the interior
I hope you guys NEVER change, especially mook!!! You guys really are great together, what an adorable couple!!!
Do a take out diner thing. You take passengers to the place they want to eat. Order the food and instead of eating at the eatery, you provide fine dining in the limo as you cruise down the road listening to nothing but 80's music!
that welding looks like the stuff u see on "customer states" vids where they say "friend can do it cheaper" cases xD
Have it professionally detailed. I wanna see their reaction
I 100% agree it will benefit us and you and hell even the future buyers
The shaking could be the driveshaft bearings. Good video guys. Keep It up!!!
Great job getting it running again.Now that you have this old beast running, update the interior with new headlinder ,new upholstery, a good cut and polish ,and this will be in demand from many.Great job.
I revisited this video and I hope the limo returns. You and Mook make my day.
Damn we actually have to get this video to a million views.... don't we all want to see that happen
Just keep clicking the video
