i'm glad to see you guys restoring that gorgeous American luxo land yacht. i just love these kind of cars, style, personality and power unlike anything else ! greetings from germany.
If it were mine, and man i wish it was, id fix the rust, paint it the same color, fix the top, and new tires. Then id go get a matching suit and drive it cross country.
Man, I still remember my neighbor pulling up with one of these, brand new off the showroom floor in 1979. He was in the restaurant business and very much of a “goodfella” type of guy. LOL
In Ga we don't have emissions on anything older than an 85! I would still run premium,higher the octane,lower the emissions runs better too,better power,smoother start ups and acceleration! Beautiful car! I would like to see Nathan do something like this.
I agree with 390Merc65: Fix the body, make sure all the mechanics are up to spec, maybe a paint job better than the original (base coat, clear coat), Flow masters would be nice, and find yourself some 4 channel 8 Tracks from eBay. You can also get an 8 track to cassette adapter, then plug in a cassette to MP3 player adapter. No replacements are necessary. This is quite a ride. Personally, I like the Givency Edition better with the Maroon 2 tone. But, the Bill Blass is very nice as well.
I was told this many years ago by several different people. I use a local fast oil change business. I also use oil by the quart, either Quaker State or Penzoil.
I have a 78 Mark V "Emilio Pucci Edition" that I've had parked in storage for about 7 years. Thankfully it's inside and not out in the elements. Watching these videos makes me want to pull the old girl out, do some work and get her going again.
If you want to keep that engine sound, i would not use recycled oil which is what they use in these fast oil change places. I always pay a little extra for the bottled name brand oil.
11:52.What is the soundtrack?Very up-lifting. P.s.Mechanic is simply awesome in his way of approaching things.Pure enthusiam,nothing like some of mechanics "cocky-mr.knowitalls".
Watching Ted replace the wiper blade I wasn't surprised that they didn't work due to the height of the mounting mechanism. Modern things seem so fat, or are old things more stream lined?
Great to have your Family car. Have you thought about repairing the rust, replace the vinyl top - and instead of painting - apply a vinyl wrap that is in the original color specific to the Diamond Jubilee Edition? Cheaper than a paint job :)
William, how do you know that 'Jiffy Lube' is using recycled oil ? Anyway, where I get my oil changed features 'Quaker State' oil and I use Valvoline, so they HAVE to open 5 new bottles of oil. Wouldn't they have to tell you if they're using recycled oil ?
When you find one of these cars, or any other vehicle, NEVER try wipers... an older windshield is $$$ to replace, and that SOUND is scratching deeper than a fingernail. NOT the golden arches. Just lift the wiper arms with hood OPEN to get to a point you can run fingers under the arms CAREFULLY. Blood stains deeper than the scratches.
Seriously, emissions!!!!!! I thought cars that were 20+ years old no longer need emissions check. Have you guys even changed the spark plugs, PCV, cleaned the gas tank out, changed oil, etc.?
Unbelievable that the numb nut at Advance didn't know enough to sell them frame blades instead of beams for a car that old. Chances are the car is older than the kid that sold them. Probably never heard of blades tucking under the hood.
If you followed the series, they had the old engine emissions tested and not only did it pass but it passed way way below the limits. It only has 20k miles on it
This is my favourite series on youtube at the moment :)

It's the best series u guys have ever made till now!
If it were mine, and man i wish it was, id fix the rust, paint it the same color, fix the top, and new tires. Then id go get a matching suit and drive it cross country.
Wow. That car is something else! It sucks that modern wipers don't work on this car.
Man, I still remember my neighbor pulling up with one of these, brand new off the showroom floor in 1979. He was in the restaurant business and very much of a “goodfella” type of guy. LOL
I am very much enjoying this series.
Excellent job to everyone working on this project/series, thank you. I really enjoy watching this.
You rule Roman. Best vids out there!
Great job again.
And Ted seems like the coolest guy. Can't wait for the next episode.
i saw this car on the road today but it was an amazing dark cherry red!! it was soo clean but yours looks great roman.
your sons must be proud on you ROMAN !!!

Lol the wiper said "screw you I'm not coming out" but great video and good luck with the restoration

This was a great documentary!
Best thing about this car is the park bench front bumper:D
fully restore please, and I love this series. Please keep it up.
This is by far my favorite thing you guys have done!
Keep the episodes coming! Enjoying it!
I was told this many years ago by several different people. I use a local fast oil change business. I also use oil by the quart, either Quaker State or Penzoil.
Love this series..
I have a 72’ Lincoln Continental Mark VI with 26 k original miles on it and got it started up the other day for the first time
This has become one of my favorite segments. Keep up the good work!
I love this series! I hope it never ends lol
Here where I live any car over 20 years does not require an emission test. They are considered antique and for pleasure.
I have a 78 Mark V "Emilio Pucci Edition" that I've had parked in storage for about 7 years. Thankfully it's inside and not out in the elements. Watching these videos makes me want to pull the old girl out, do some work and get her going again.
At this pace it's going to be a 100 part series
wuahu this show is getting better and better! thanks roman

Man, I spotted the new wipers before you broke 'em out at 16:00.
11:52.What is the soundtrack?Very up-lifting.
P.s.Mechanic is simply awesome in his way of approaching things.Pure enthusiam,nothing like some of mechanics "cocky-mr.knowitalls".
I need to see another episode!! When are we expecting another?
Great car roman!
Thank god you saved this car, I'm plum pissed about how many of this 70's cars end up in Derby.
i totally agree with you sir,,take the shitty new ones and derby em!! instead of old classics
so glad i live in a state that doesn't do emissions testing!
Watching Ted replace the wiper blade I wasn't surprised that they didn't work due to the height of the mounting mechanism. Modern things seem so fat, or are old things more stream lined?
thats why i love oregon only a few citys here requires Deq
That a huge pain in the rear. Even in a liberal state like MA if your car is 15yrs old or greater you don't need an emissions test.
Im glad Henry County, GA (where I live) doesnt require emissions tests after the car is 25 years old.
awesome series, but I am slightly annoyed that they didn't do a tune up before they started testing the emissions.
Great to have your Family car. Have you thought about repairing the rust, replace the vinyl top - and instead of painting - apply a vinyl wrap that is in the original color specific to the Diamond Jubilee Edition? Cheaper than a paint job :)
Awesome Series Roman love it!
Love the series Roman, Good job! Keep it up :)
Beautiful car. I don't know what's happened yet but I hope you fixed the wiring and rust.
If it is easy to do it is usually not worth doing. Just keep plugging away.
TV P.I. Frank Cannon drove a Continental Mk., a friends parents had a Mk.III was a great classic US luxo-barge of the day.
William, how do you know that 'Jiffy Lube' is using recycled oil ? Anyway, where I get my oil changed features 'Quaker State' oil and I use Valvoline, so they HAVE to open 5 new bottles of oil. Wouldn't they have to tell you if they're using recycled oil ?
It's as big as a whale, and it's about to set sail!
was waiting for this
Really like these guys but this is soooooooo sloooooooowwwww moving. They could cut more than half, easy
Real American square everything Is square which is epic :-)
25 years and older in most states don't require smog testing
OH wow nice car...
I would have thougt you could get a historic registration as an old car and bypass and etest
this car is a nice big block V8 powerfull
Could have used much larger wiper blades. You don't have to go stock size on those.
Do a few coats of rainex on the window. Once you use it, you will never go back.
awesome car its amazing
If you want to really clean up you engine, you should use a product called seafoam.
i got a 78 mark 5 in mint condition for 2000 bucks! great car, video of it on my channel
I thought cars older than 20 years are emissions exempt in CO?
What was a guy greasing on the top of the motor near the end of the video.
When is the next video of this car coming?!!
+Sprotdude17 I know in Illinois 94 and older don't require emission's testing
im glad Missouri doesn't require emissions. (except for stl)
look forward to see it pass emissions and mot ,lol
I'd love to take it to Costco and park right in between to foreign cars then fill that huge trunk with giant packs of toilet paper
so how many horse power does this car produce ???

In Ontario anything prior to 88 doesn't require an etest
Thank god we dont have smog here on anything older than 1994
Seriously, emissions!!!!!! I thought cars that were 20+ years old no longer need emissions check.
Have you guys even changed the spark plugs, PCV, cleaned the gas tank out, changed oil, etc.?
Take it to west coast customs
To completely ruin it with huge rims and subwoofers? never.
Preserve the car, fix the stuff that is broken, be frugal.
Glad to see my '81 Cadillac Sedan Deville is in better shape! Check out my channel.
My brother's car isn't passing emissions and it's a 1990 Grand Am
Why would you have a emission test on a car that old most states don't care after 25 years
Asesinato
Unbelievable that the numb nut at Advance didn't know enough to sell them frame blades instead of beams for a car that old. Chances are the car is older than the kid that sold them. Probably never heard of blades tucking under the hood.
Love the car too! It's Sexy!
Too much ad lib giggling without enough info like expected mpg on this model car and parts longevity.
Roman I like you, but I gather you are not the mechanically inclined person.
alisverisheybesi
Ill pay u guys $3000 for it the way it sits I'm not a scammer
I hate the guy on glasses
I didn't see anybody on any glasses. Someone was sitting or standing on glasses? Eyeglasses or drinking glasses?
raya2smty hes nerdy but hes cool and knows a lot. relax you scumbag
that's junk, waste of money to rebuild garbage. gets 1 mpg, its full of holes and bondo. send it to the junk and have it crushed
john burry Why is it "junk" in your opinion?
Kaniela6759 better than anything made these days ! I’d like to have one
remove old engine and install newer motor that weighs less, better fuel economy, more horsepower and torque, cleaner emission
If you followed the series, they had the old engine emissions tested and not only did it pass but it passed way way below the limits. It only has 20k miles on it
