So this is a 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe that’s been sitting in the yard ever since I bought it cheap for the 460 big block engine and C6 transmission. We were planning to yank the drivetrain for something else down the road — but now have other plans. We took one look at that big ol’ boat and said, “Let’s cut the damn roof off.” So that’s exactly what we did. Turned it into a redneck summer convertible — cheap, fun, and totally stupid in the best way. That 460 is a beast, and we still want to keep it healthy for a future build, so we were careful-ish. Took a little persuadin’ to get it to light off, but when it finally did, it sounded mean as hell… right after the AC compressor blew apart and just about took my head off. Ain’t gonna lie — thought I was done for a second there. Anyway, come ride along as we give this old Lincoln one more shot at life — topless and rowdy.

This is pure gold!!!!!! Best channel yt
You should try painting with one of those electric spray guns as an experiment. Just an idea I’ve been tossing around for my own projects but would like to see a seasoned professionals opinion
Another cool video thanks
Vinyl tops were one of the worst ideas in automotive history. They put on the worst part of a convertible without making it an actual convertible. Entirely unnecessary. Most cars that had them end up looking like this.
My brother and his friend cut the top off a car, and got pulled over immediately. They drove it straight to the salvage. They are both in the graveyard buried next to each other for different reasons.
The burnt up door panel and the smoke in the right front were caused by power seat switches that short out and have sent many a Lincoln of that area to “Fords Theatre”
Wish I could find that kinda cool stuff. I need a barn first and don’t even have a concrete or gravel floor to start with so. Maybe one day I’ll grow up to be as cool as
To be a true Sponsor Magnet JD needs to work on Product display, He should face out that Valvoline jug to show label and a little hand wave ala Dian Parkinson will help Im sure.
needs something…. where did you put those Ushaka plates? actually an attractive Summer conveyance.
"It's dangerous"…hahahahaha you kill me Dalton!

If you can find a set of C9VE or DOVE heads, might wake the old gal up a tad. 70 and earlier 460's were 365 HP, yours unfortunately only about 205. Just for reference, my 3 cylinder Bronco Sport 1.5 turbo [engine] is rated at 185. I have an off the shelf tune, cat back and CAI, and it put down 199 WHP on the dyno with 93 pump gas
The scrap value of the roof is probably $10 by itself
The rubber bungee for the trunk lid supports are a true sign of class
Looks like a former pimp mobile
I really enjoy watching your videos, keep up the great work.
You guys sure know how to have a good time. Keep up the fun content.
I have a 1977 Camaro should I build the carbed 5.7 vortec that’s in it or get a 400 ?
It took me 3 days to watch this because you cut the roof off
Dalton is on a weekly tetanus booster regimen. Pro tip: there's less glass to clean up from the interior if you swing the sledgehammer from inside the car
I love the videos…
I have a question… and probably shouldn’t ask it.. but I’m going to anyway…
Why don’t YouTubers have dealer plates… you buy and sell so many cars wouldn’t that keep the Popo off your ass… how do you not get arrest..??
I'm convinced these 70s land yachts ALWAYS start after a long slumber.
When you backed it out of the garage.. the further away it got.. the better it looked! Shame about that one, though. Those two door continentals you just don't see anymore. Too bad it was so far gone.
Watch Jamie from dead dodge garage. He's cool too.
You are wearing a no nonsense know how tee shirt. You're cool in my book brother
