A buddy of mine mentioned to me one day that he saw this old lincoln sitting at a used car lot. I figured i would stroll over and take a look at her. She was covered in dust, sitting under an awning with 2 flat tires. I asked the guy working @ the lot if he could tell me anything about it. He said, " Yeah, it runs like shit". I was like...." well, can we try to get it running so i can maybe take it for a spin around the block?". He obliged, and with a jump box and a little luck we had her running. It was running rough, didn't like to shift that well, and had one hell of a bounce from the tires being flat for so long....but i liked it 
So, they had 1500 on the sticker as the asking price, and i asked the guy if he would take a grand. SOLD!
Took her home, flushed the tranny & changed the filter as well as engine oil, took it to the shop for a quick carb tune up and got a new set of tires on her. I drove her almost every day for the next 2 years in vegas, it was an eye catcher for sure! Then i moved back to alaska( where i was born ) and 3 years went by. My parents were having a cargo container sent from las vegas to Kodiak Island, where i live, so they could ship the contents of their house in alaska down to vegas. I didn't hesitate to have them throw the lincoln into the container so i could have it up here with me in AK! It was a prime choice, since the salt air really eats cars up here, i couldn't bare to send any of my nicer rigs up...but yah gotta have something to cruise in right?
The container arrived up here about a week ago. Got a call from the shipping company and they said they couldn't get it started. No biggie, although it did run when driven into the container in vegas, it sat for 3 years in my parents shop with nobody touching it. Upon inspection, i noticed gas was leaking severely out of the carburetor. Towed it home and pulled the carb. The accel pump diaphragm was bad. Got a new one from amazon the next day and had her up and running. I did drain the gas tank yesterday and filled it with premium + a bottle of octane booster. The gas that i siphoned out was pretty ugly looking, so I'm sure that will help her run a bit better. New fuel filter should be here tomorrow too. I don't plan on doing a whole lot to this rig, as it only cost me a grand, and honestly she's in pretty decent shape. So, que the pictures!
One of the worst spots on the interior...the drivers door panel. Everything works, but its so loose from the cracks. Either gotta try to reglue it together, or somehow find a replacement..
Drivers seat, pretty tore up, may just get a seat cover....but i LOVE the pillow cushions and i would hate to cover them up
Really nice shape back seat
Kept the original 8 track, and had a hidden deck put in the glove box. Also have subs/amp in the trunk and components in the doors/rear deck.
Sticker!
The 460
Whats this plug??
And this valve?
Its got an MSD coil and Ignition
And a couple shots of the rust spots...again not too worried about them as rust is inevitable up here on the island
Thanks for looking! I welcome any and all comments!
