Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- 2,200 miles door to door! We went for two, but only came home with one. The prize of the two! Take a look at what I will claim as the lowest mileage 95-97 Town Car in existence! This would also qualify as the most expensive ‘97 Town Car I’ve ever bought, and it doesn’t even run! Minor detail 🤣

I'm a car guy and love all the beautiful heavies. More than that... you and your Dad's relationship. You're lucky to have each other. My Dad has been gone 6 years, give anything for another ride in the Fleetwood with him.
I feel you on that, William. My dad has been gone for 14 years now, and to take a ride with him in the Coupe dville would be great.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!
Amen William. I know how you feel.
That Lincoln is immaculate, only thing missing are the lacey wheels!
I think you were underselling the value on that Benz at $5000 all fixed up and running, that thing was NICE cosmetically. Those have come up in value a good bit the past few years for nice ones, miles don't really affect the value as much as condition/provenance(aka 1 owner who fixed stuff when it broke, shop records, etc).
Conservatively can sell as it sits for $462K
@@wileecoyote5749 With the current insanity going on around “semi-classic” cars, you’re barely exaggerating. I could totally see it go for that price on Bring A Trailer after a fierce auction and the comment thread congratulating the buyer on how great a deal he got 😂
I would be interested in the Benz, check me out at Idiot Car Guys
Yeah MB was nice looking too bad couldn't make a go of it
yes, the condition was amazing for having that many miles on it - but realistically, that engine is nearing end of life, even for a deisel.
Yes...you're absolutely right when you said, I need to own an enclosed trailer!"
I watch you buy and sell some awesome cars, but you still have an open trailer?!
Stop procrastinating, and get one already!!
Did I say you have awesome cars?
🙂
Sorry for the rant...just do it
Cheers
I love that Lincoln rounded off the TCs and customers and dealers still found a way to install a carriage roof. Hopefully the dented bumper plastic works out for you! I would have passed up the Benz too. Great trip!
Love those Lincolns. Another nice road trip with Papa Bear supervising. Apologies for our midwestern salt!
What this "old man" wears is what is comfortable on his feet. At my age I deserve that much. God bless fellas.
To heck with the Benz, the Town Car is where it is at! It is a real shame that cars like this are not built by Ford anymore. I really enjoy following your channel as you find some really nice domestic cars.
Plate C
Hey Anthony & Papa Bear, wow, this Town Car has half the miles I predicted!!! It's going to be a real gem once you get it running!!! Thanks for taking me along on another one of your exciting adventures!!! 👍👍🙂
Hey Anthony...love you guys!! But don't be so dramatic with the title....I thought something really bad happened! Maybe I'm the dramatic one!🤣 Car dirty but not ruined! Keep em coming!! Love seeing these cars!! Peace and many blessings
Yea really! Tired of stupid click bait exaggerated titles!
Him:”You Italian?” Papa Bear: “you bet your ass I’m Italian”. Me: “NICE!”
Gosh it's great your dad can come along. Makes for some great story telling and good company.
So who wins the title for guessing the nearest to the actual mileage on the Lincoln?
I say 87,567 miles
Oops that was a type o. Anthony, I like the fact you work everyday with your father, I would give anything to work with my dad again. We lost him back in 1996. God bless you guys.
Wow what a treat! Love to see the road trips! Love these vintage Cadillacs and Lincolns! What an incredible relationship you and Papa bear have Thanks for sharing the great vibes!
This hits different compared to the ones posting copart finds. These cars are unbelievably nice and well kept
Papa Bear at the beginning is like "I can't believe my son is talking to a camera, the world we live in" 😅
An friend passed from a long battle with cancer leaving a couple of low, low mileage TC's in his garage. It took a lot of work getting them back into to where they were safe to drive and sell. Letting them sit can be hard on them.
WHAT'S THE MAKE AND MODLE AND COLOR
Hey Anthony and Papa Bear. What an amazing car with that low mileage. Unbelievable!!! I love the color combination and the light bar across the back. My 1971 Lincoln Town car had that... Another great find guys. Keep up the good work. Be safe !!!
Great video…if I’d known you were going to be driving within 40 miles of my home I would have waved as you drove by (twice)…thanks for the great story!
Wow is this amazing. No one better to get the car back and running, take care of the car, get every detail right.
Wow, 3,998 miles. Just wow. Love the light bar!!! Love the color actually. Just not a big fan of those tops.
I like when you guys good on road trips Papa Bear and Big Bear Anthony😃.... Thanks for videos
The rusty vehicle on the trailer y'all were asking about approximately 23 minutes into the video is an M3 Scout Car used by the United States Army - and our allies - during WWII predominantly. While fast & reliable, it was considered a disappointment to the Army brass due to its poor off-road performance & lack of overhead protection. At least with the US Army, it was largely phased out of service by 1943 by the six-wheeled M8 Greyhound but was still retained for rear-area security and convoy escort duty. It's biggest claim to fame was the fact that General Patton used one of these vehicles as his command vehicle (though it had added armor and a raised fighting compartment).
23:45 Thank you for the description!
Wow! Great car! Less miles than I thought! Glad you and papa bear made it back ok, especially with all the snow.
how does someone by a car like this - probably every bit of $40k when new - and never drive it?
Probably someone like me who's afraid of denting his $500 beaters let alone a brand new luxury car.
I have a very nice 2017 CT6 with probably 23,000 miles and I got it new.
Literarily for 20 years. Feel bad for that car! But it turned into a time capsule at least.
I'd say 36,000 miles
Probably retired and only gets out to buy groceries and maybe dr appointments.
You were giving me anxiety with that Lincoln, Im thinking to myself, Just open the friggin garage door. hahaha, Gorgeous car, Juat not my color. As William Mittica said" Your relationship with your Dad is heartwarming. I lost my Father in 1988 at 49 years old. Just lost my mom and my pet of 18 years in a 5 day span and I'm broken hearted. I see you and Papa and It sincerely touches me. Your Dad, Your best friend, That's what it's all about. Time for me to get up there soon, Would love to meet you and Papa.
Anthony, you need to invest in some good car covers with straps. Will save those cars from the elements and road grime.
Thx Anthony that was fun going on the road with youse guys. I was thinking you and Papa Bear are like Indiana Jones and his Dad out looking for archeological finds together. Haha.
Also, when you are out cruising them Interstates you GOTTA that "Holiday Road" song from National Lampoon's "Vacation" movie in your clip. You guys are the best. Enjoy these times boys.
Keep feeding the Bears and your travels will be trouble free. Ciao Belli.
Remote start is GREAT IN THOSE CONDITIONS..LOL
As soon as you zoomed in on Papa Bear's slippers, my wife looked at me and shouted "THAT'S YOU!" It may be cold out, but those old man slippers are the most comfy thing to wear while driving! Great job and looking forward to what is next!
I was close on miles, I think I said 5k but dang 3,988.! I knew it had to be crazy to get you 1100 miles in January! Beautiful car.
Wow! More than a trip it was an adventure.
Great video.
My Dad was a Lincoln guy and Mechanic for Years @Shore City Lincoln Mercury in Warwick RI until they closed the dealership...
He would have broke down in tears to see that Lincoln getting pounded by salt and stones...
My 1st Lincoln was a 1988 Lincoln MK 7 LSC Coupe....What a Sweet ride ...It was a shame that the airbag suspension crapped out it would have cost Me too much to fix...
Nowadays the have after market replacements bags and conversion kits with regular shocks to replace them...
It was a Beautiful car white with a grey gut...it also had the white BBS Wheels....I wish I could find another one 😕
Quite the trip and great find. I hope there are no mechanical issues with having sat for so long. Keep um coming
Moral of the story. If you’re driving through the upper Midwest in January, I don’t care what the weather forecast says, bring snow gear
Just amazing to find that Lincoln with that low of mileage. The trip was long I know. But, your flipping these. And looking forward to see it going. Thank you for sharing!
Nice big car find Anthony gotta love these unique build cars
Had some flashbacks to my New England days when I saw that whiteout action on the road with the high beams. haha. Don't get much of that here in Dallas...and don't want it. LOL
Will be watching for both LTC's...do I "need" one? No, but would I like one? YEP. Haha. Always good to make it home safe from a long road trip!
Lots of washing on those things, truck, Lincoln and the trailer too.
That Town Car is brand new. Bada Bing!
Enjoyed tagging along with you on this trip. Too bad about the Benz. Can't wait to see the Towncar from Houston. Sounds like a winner.
That’s how our cars look here in Wyoming with this snow and mud seasons. Horrible but I love that Lincoln.
Gotta get a nose guard for the trailer, Anthony! At least the front end and hood would be protected on your purchases and goodies
Anthony you and Papa Bear are 🔥🔥. I really enjoy the trips and seeing the other things you guys do. Keep the videos coming and 1 day I will be able to buy one of these time capsules.
I love to see yall get this cars I think I like the fixer uppers the best I've learned alot watching your videos cadillacs are on a platform of there own thanks John
Stunning car, I can't believe the mileage, another great find. 👍
The snow is beautiful, this is what I miss living in Minnesota. When ever we get snow in Lubbock, Texas I love it as others don't. ❄❄❄❄❄❄
6:55 Town Car emerges from the garage like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Hey - Welcome from Wisconsin! "This isn't Vice Grip Garage!" - I'm a fan of Derek's, too.
you guys have great vehicles. we in stl Missouri haven't seen blizzard yet this year but we've had 5 degree mornings with sunshine that sunshine will fool ya.
Love the Lincoln Town Car unique color combination for sure!!!
So what’s the plan with this sweet ride? It’s basically brand new! You keeping and and selling one out of the personal collection or?
With this low of mileage I’d almost have to keep her lol
I know you can’t keep em all! But I know deep inside U want too! Lol
That Town Car is AMAZING and a once-in-a-lifetime buy and congrats on that one. The blue Mercedes SEL looked fantastic. And I feel the same as you. Once I see a half started project and pieces thrown about and missing, my interest starts to wane. Good luck with that TC!
BEAUTIFUL car Anthony
Started watching your videos because I love the cars, but now I watch to see you and Papa Bear. Ok, yes I still love the cars.
No way 3,900 Very nice car looks perfect wow
Another nice winter trip, I love your snow trips since we rarely get snow down here in the Southeast.
You guys are home safely and that's all that matters 👍
Oh my you guys are on a roll...
Thank you for another adventure. She’s a beauty!! In real miles!! Glad you passed on the Mercedes. Hi Papa Bear!!
Anthony, smart move walking away from the Mercedes. Couldn’t you guys carry around a large car cover to use in bad weather, or are you afraid the wind would make it flap against the car at high speed?
Stunning Town Car!
That town car reminds me so much of my grandparents. Except my grandparents TC was cordovan red on cordovan red leather with the same black carriage roof. Such fond memories of that car had come back by looking at this one.
It's like you two hit the jackpot with this Lincoln!!! I would just keep it!!! There will probably not be another one with that unbelievably low mileage!!!
Your dad funny as shhh 😆
ANTHONY: I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS COLOR IS
DAD: GREY LMAO 😂
Much cudos to you tony and your papa for driving in extreme lake effect snow to retrieve the Lincoln Town car glad you guys made it safely home can't wait to see more of the town car
With all those big old caddies I'm surprised you didn't have a car cover for the Lincoln since you don't have an enclosed trailer. Beautiful Lincoln!
Dude, you so need a covered trailer or at least modify your existing trailer to mount a front guard . . . that poor Lincoln looked like it had been in a fight !! Love your channel, love that you keep finding these amazing cars !! Cheers for keeping us all entertained !!
Every time you open a storage area on a door or dash I expect to hear about what type of gun it will hold
Beautiful car Anthony and Papa Bear! I don't even mind the cloth top on this. I hope it's not difficult to get it road ready!
Anthony, you're def gonna need to do that intake! Hope you enjoyed the chicago area...especially that area grayslake..fox lake community, but boating community in the summer.
What a great find! I have the same luck yet everytime I find a good car the weather is always shit!
Literally u guys were in my backyard! Woulda said Hi lol..love your videos. Beautiful Lincoln
I could be wrong but if the color of that car came through on my phone correctly....that TC is actually Spruce Green. I know because I have a '98 Mercury Grand Marquis that same color. I know..I know....it looks gray. Open hood or trunk and look where there is no clearcoat. It will become more apparent. It is definitely green...maybe with a hint of gray. It is FoMoCo spec code 'FS' on the Ford Mftrng label on the door jam. At least that is the color it looked like to me. But a quick check of the door label will verify it. I love your videos and think it is great you are keeping these old full sized sedans on the road and in the hands of owners who appreciate them. Good work...keep it up.👍
This Lincoln town car you have was a Roto Lincoln dealership car out of Arlington Heights on Rand road. I used to work there many years ago. Right around the time the car was originally purchased!!
You got me with the clickbait title! Still a loyal fan though.
The music you paired with the town car going on the trailer was great!
You already pumped the old fuel when you kicked on that fuel pump... I think
Love that Sicilian music as the Town Car is hoisted up the ramp!
My 1998 Cartier is from the same dealer, ROTO in Arlington Heights. I bought the car in Chicago in relatively good shape but nothing like this one.
Great find! Hey I’m upgrading my enclosed trailer you need my old one!
Wow that car! Awesome! Your mom is German? Interesting. 🤔
Love the MB! Gen-1 (‘81-‘85) W126 bodies are just awesome. I’ve had 11 of these and the Gen-2 cars (‘86-‘91) I’m no expert but I’m filled with knowledge about them. I’d love to have that one for sure!!
Wow what a beautiful car
Beautiful Lincoln!!
Lol when u said “holy mother of cold” when u walked outside and I was just outside and it’s 3 with a 20 below zero wind chill welcome to Wisconsin my friend.I always wonder why I stay here for anything past fall...
Hi! I am up in Wausau and feel the same way you do...and the last two Winter seasons have been easy! All the Best!
@@robertmielke6196 im in Milwaukee but I sure do miss Wausau!
The lighted light bar came out in 95, the 94 was the last year of the reflectors..
A friend of mine got a car like that once, bought for the wife and she didn't drive it. So in 1992 he got a 1985 Dodge Charger with like 3600 miles on it. Yeah, the coupe body Omni. He drove it.
I will take the Mercedes 500SEL. My dad had one, a 1985 500SEL, and a cousin of his had a 500SEC. I have always wanted a 500SEL. PM and we can talk about the 500SEL.
Interesting that car was bought in the town I grew up in.... The dealer is no longer there!! Wow great find!!
Awesome video, welcome to my home town guys!! Where, yes -it just snows whenever the hell it feels like it. Impossible to keep a clean car here in these months, I don't know how you managed to have a clean truck after that trip either. That was sheer luck!
One of the nicest that I have seen in a while wish I was ready to leap it is exactly what I am looking for
You need to get a fiberglass/diamond plate rock shield for the front of your trailer to block most of the road debris.
First like and comment
LoL @ this isn't Vice grip garage 😂😅🤣
I guessed 4950 , missed it by less than 1000 miles.
Anthony, PLEASE get an enclosed car trailer!
The video was great to watch for the travel aspect. I think that is great. It is interesting to see where you go and the people you get to meet when you can. Too bad about that snow. You said you got a Lincoln Town Car from Houston. I smiled as I am in Houston. I think that is great.
I guessed 5400mi on town car this is even better ,papa bear make Anthony spring for a winter parka, I get cold just looking at video lol 😆 I think it's great how you guys get along.
Be careful if u guys take a nother road trip glad u got home safely
This car will start a bidding war. I know I will be looking to buy this one. To put in my garage.
