PROOF You Can Modify ANY CAR! Modified Lincoln Town Car Story
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- Not all first cars are created equal. However when you see a car that is SO unexpected to be modified you HAVE to take a look. Zach still to this day has his first car - an old Lincoln Town car. It has a manual transmission swap using a Tremec T56 Magnum, coil over suspension, modified interior, and so much more. He even has the guts to race this thing on oval tracks - proving this machine means business. From the day I met Zach he always told me he had amazing plans - and he actually went through with it all these years later. Thanks for watching and new uploads every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sundays!

GRANDPA'S ON THE MOVE!
Hi daviiiiid
Also this year was the first year I was ever able to afford to go to import alliance... on this year of all years
WATCH OUT EVERYONE THERE'S A SALE AT KROGER AND IT'S A FLASH SALE!
Yes sir...
I had this thought years ago with a family members lavender colored lincoln, very cool, spray it😊👍
me: *sees a 1200 horsepower supra on youtube* ok
me: *sees a manual swapped town car* YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm honestly same way not like I don't like and respect the Supra but there's so many on UA-cam its just not as impressive. VS a one of car like this love the kinds of builds.
ikr
Same 100% Haha, Respect the niche

Crazy because Ive been looking at Lincoln Town Car to be my first car
@@erensts24 broooooo it wasn’t my first car but I bought one to mess around with about a month ago and it’s an absolute beasttttt it comes stock with fords 2 valve mustang gt engine she roars

I got an 05, easy as shit to mod. I mean, ADTR exists
lmao if it wasnt for the air ride and starter solenoid constantly failing they are very loveable cars, plenty of room for friends in the back seat and all the junk in the trunk
Got a 1993 Town Car and a 1997 Grand Marquis. This is exactly what I want to do with my Town Car.
@@amagiccarpetgaming5352 just do a coil spring conversion like I did on my 97 Town Car. Cheap and easy compared to the air bags.
@@amagiccarpetgaming5352
I actually want the airbags back in mine. LOL. I utilize my trunk often with heavy stuff, and the air ride would help a lot at night when I'm doing deliveries, as mine was coil-swapped before I got it. Wanna trade? LOL. I prefer the air springs. 😁
I think that’s an amazing conversion. It’s totally different and unexpected that’s what makes it beautiful.
2020 has been far from a good year, but one benefit to quarantine has been window shopping and building todo lists. Ive been wanting to manual transmission swap a 97 towncar for the longest. After a buddy gave me a ride in his dads 94 Lincoln Towncar I was hooked. Been looking on youtube for literally years to find a manual conversion. Saw the video today to just about round out 2020 in Clemson and brought an instant smile to my face from start to finish. Great video man. Helps me keep the dream alive. Gotta love the highway cruiser. Thanks man.
This is so much more interesting than some arbitrary high hp number car that's been done hundreds of times. I love it.
Agreed, and that town car is well put together
It’s so off the wall I was actually thinking some kid hacked up and slammed grandpas old car, then came the wtf 😳 one clean build for sure
I've always loved panthers. From grandpa cars to police interceptors and taxis, to mobster cars, these things are so badass
Dude more of these random car builds please

@@mr.g5126 nice username
This town car is amazing!!! Im in love. I want to do this to my 2002 town car.
This is so impressive! Perfect execution on a very under used and under rated platform. I have a mint 91 MN12 5.0ho t-bird and will be doing a manual conversion as well using all bolt in parts from a t-bird s/c and after seeing this, I’m ready to get after it and get it done.
I cant explain how much i love the ford panther platform. You couldnt stop me from smiling if i was in this car
Make more of these "you have what you have" videos! They are fantastic
They are so fun to make too!
@@ThatDudeinBlue make a use what you have shirt 👀
@@ThatDudeinBlue That's great to hear. definitely do a rotary soon lol
I love this car. Zach did a great job on this build. This has inspired me to buy one of these and do a manual conversion too
I loved these cars. The generation after, too. Can’t believe this. Never would have thought doing this.
35 seconds into this video... I am already impressed. THIS is honest, pure, car appreciation. I absolutely love when people take cars that are never considered 'tuners' or worthy of upgrading or modifying and turning them into something special... I applaud the efforts.
I’m a huge panther fam this thing is sick
Such a good platform
I got a 85 two door crown vic, 351w aluminum heads, cam 800cfm double pumper, 5spd.
this is what i like. So much better than the countless other "take a car and modify it" builds
I’m 71 years old and just bought my first town car. A 2005 and I want to do what your friend did to that Town Car! I love it! AWESOME!
The blacked out trim is what makes that car look cool. This reminds me of blacking out the trim on cars in Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition Remix.
aka chrome delete.
Someone listened to the song “Hot Rod Lincoln” on repeat too much
I was thinking the same thing.
Nobody can touch my hot rod lincoln
My dad gave me his 76 Lincoln Town Coupé and I lowered it put 255/60/15s all the way around front and rear sway bars, KYB shocks, dual exhaust and no cats. Then later I built the 7.5L motor with forged 10:1 pistons, a cam, edelbrock torker manifold, ported heads and an 850 double pumper carburetor. Never saw anything like it. The thing would bury the 120 mph speed no problem. Towed my 90 Camaro on a Uhaul car trailer from LA to CT with it. Cops hated it in black primer. Couldn’t stop pulling me over.
That car is badass. My first car was a 79 Lincoln and I've always wanted to build a more modern model like that. Much love and respect, that's a real hotrod Lincoln. Nicely done
Never seen this video and I gotta say I would absolutely own this car. I really dig how it looks and I've never seen someone manual swap a town car like this! Just awesome!!!!
That thing looks badass, I could’ve picked up a low mileage one for a absolute steal but I passed on it, I regret it 😢
im going to an auction soon, theres one there, really hoping i can get it for a good price
@@lukaswichlas7651 did uu get the car?
I got mine for 1600 bucks with 168 k miles and Prestine paint ! It’s amazing lol
I’m a sucker for a Panther platform, and this is a unique and well done example. Makes me want to drop a Town Car body on a P71 frame. 😄
Uh there’s no difference in the frame
Town cars are on the same frame as crown vics, get them while theyre cheap before the drift tax hits them
Town car Body is longer, a p71 frame has too short of a wheelbase.
Someone should manual swap a town car stretch limo
@@twoeightythreez I have a 97 town car limo that I want to manual swap, I already have a t56 transmission, I just need to make a set of clutch pedals
@@twoeightythreez I believe only the body is longer by 3", if we are talking about whale panthers.
THISS...IS SICK!... SURPRISED THE HELL OUT OF ME, I like the Lincoln town car just how it looks but all I saw was lowrider builds BUT THIS...this is more of my area of interest, GOOD JOB WITH THIS BUILD
There are no words for this car. It is beyond cool. Everything just comes together and looks so good. It perfectly couples together performance and comfort.
I never saw this coming and you have to love the passion this guy has
Props to him making this sick build!
5:25 I loved when he said “This makes no sense.” I laughed pretty hard at that. I have a classic vintage Lincoln; a 1977 Town Coupe. I won’t turn it into a street racer like this, but it’ll be a beautiful classic luxury cruiser after I restore it.
I have a '96 that I would love to do something similar to. I've been thinking of it for years, but time (and often, money too) has not been on my side. This car certainly reignites the spark, to be sure.
Fantastic build, sir!!
Currently borrowing my uncles Lincoln Town Car, it’s a ‘97 and is gold like this. I’d never driven one before and it drives like it’s floating across still water. Just glides like butter on toast. And that’s unmodified. I can only imagine how luxurious this felt to drive!
This car is pretty dope, only thing I would change is the steering wheel
There is probably a ton of wiring in that wheel
A lot of fwd cars have turbos, that’s proof you can modify a wheelbarrow
Well played 👏🤣
@Linkavich Chamofskee but only the front wheel is on the ground while you’re pushing it.
@Linkavich Chamofskee well then it would be rear engine front wheel drive
And you are absolutely right there are wheelbarrows with engines

Oof! 🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂
Just 50secs in... I can tell I'm going to appreciate this build. Very clean and simple aesthetics... not your typical "teenager" riced out grandpa car! Props on the execution!!
Love what Zach did with this car. It has me inspired to buy one and do a manual conversion too
Imagine how many people he asked for advice just to get the same smart ass responses from trolls on forums and Facebook
Brooooooooooo
Dude... Best comment imo. There's so much hate and gate keeping from people. It can ruin it and destroy motivation for so many people who actually have the potential to do some cool things with obscure builds.
Man, that is so true. I remember asking for advice on exhaust upgrades and other mods for my TC and so many dudes would come in to tell me how I'm either destroying the car, or some other smug response about it being a boat, polishing a turd or just telling me to sell it and get a crown vic. Honestly got very little real advice.
Great. Now i need a mid 90s town car. Thanks David.
Right lol
Same. I was thinking of doing a Crown Vic or Marquis, but not now.
Dude you did a fn awesome job..!!! Lincolns town cars are the most comfortable ride of any car, period. I've owned 7 town cars and 2 continentals. I have added cold air intakes, and chipped them out, which added some horsepower and removed the speed limiters and changed the shift points, but you really outdid yourself and you made it look cool af too with the black accents. NICE.. I've always wanted to add a turbo to one and try to get 1000hp out of it, and i will one day.. Those 4.6s are nearly indestructible.. I had over 400k miles on 2 of my town cars and none had less that 200k when i got rid of them, with not even a hint of a knock or any trouble.. Castrol GTX is your friend...
I had this same exact TC! Color and all! I always wanted to mod it. Great video! Your friend, Zach has a fan in me!
as a new edge gt owner, I would rather have that towncar😂
😭😭 I think I agree with you
Damn I thought same thing 🤣
04+ Crown vics are better cars. These years are plagued with aging electronics but i still miss mine.
Looks like a comfier mustang. Makes me miss my fbo sn95, that noise is sweet.
Its basically a 4 door, sleeper, practical mustang with blunted responses and a huge trunk.
I love that he kept the interior in tact haha, he didn't put racing seats in it, instead he left the lazy boys in and for that Im grateful 😂
That may be the coolest car ever! I have an 03 Marauder and always thought building an 80s boxy Town Car would be cool. I love this one so much! Awesome build!
I love this car. Zach did a freakin awesome job. I am now inspired to buy one of these and do a conversion
ZZ-Top would be so proud of this "Hotrod Lincoln"
Love it! Totally out of thd ordinary and it looks mean with the stance.
Definitely the best thing that ever happened in the car industry. I have an 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis. I am probably going to do similar things, but I love the plush ride. My mom has a 1996 Grand Marquis that I want to do those things with, not those same things Zach did, but right around those lines
This is my first and current car... I am now convinced to do the same thing.
Rock on!!!
I really love that he did the manual swap tastefully, keeping the interior look.. Honestly, I love the interior of the generation of Lincoln. My grandma had a purple on purple one 😎. That car was badass, digital dash and all.
I adore this. I love my Lincoln Town Car and really love all the panther platform vehicle's, but this is on a whole new level that's absolutely SICK!!!
I am mind blown! When I saw that pop up in my recommended I thought there is no way. It is such great proof that you can make literally any car a fun car.
Form Ireland, it just reminds me of a massive volvo 😂 but so cool and love someone put that much thought and effort into their first car
This is a prime example of a "Hot Rod Lincoln"
Prime example of hot rod lincoln,is my ls v8,puuure sleeper,w/only cai,tune,resonator delete👍
Awesome build. This reminds me of my first car. 91’ accord lx. It was dark blue with the light tan interior. 5 speed. I put a stage 1 clutch, eibach lowering springs, 5% tinted windows, smoked out the taillights, headlights front grill and all the chrome trim, black 17” Nissan Sentra SER rims, exhaust, HID headlights, custom mounted 6x9’s behind the rear headrests and 4 12” subs in the trunk, removed the badges and I drove it to the ground. I’ll always miss that car
It's incredible what he did with this box TC. I just bought a 97 TC to mess around with. It has high miles but is super clean. This build has inspired me. I'm not going to manual swap it, though that would be awesome. I'll probably dechrome it and throw on some Flowmasters and maybe some different wheels.
No lie, this has to be the best post by you except the Terminators!!!!! That Lincoln is so hot!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I actually like it alot! I am 43 now and my driver's test was taken in my neighbor's '91 Towncar.
I love these cars. That thing sounds amazing. I always wanted a Crown vic to build lol. Such a good looking car too. It looks brand new!
I had a friend in high school that had an LTD platform Town Car. Slightly built motor, exhaust, raked suspension, on Cragars. It wasn't perfect by any means, nor was it really _"fast"_ - but, it wasn't this slow, lumbering land yacht, either. I'd say...between a Panther-body and a 5.0 Foxbody (when they were new) in terms of acceleration.
Im pretty active in the panther scene, and I've seen this town car pop up in countless clips. I'm so glad to see a featured video about the car. Glad you got to drive it!
This makes me miss my old Lincoln Town Car! I remember driving it in the winter because it was my first and only car, so in the winter, the only way I could control it was by learning how to drift it 😅
Such an awesome car! Love that he took an unusual car and made such a sweet race monster out of it.
Lol this reminds me of the Japanese racing dodge vans.... Im all in on it
Dajiban
I’ve never wanted a Lincoln until now 🤯
Where you been?
@@fredc8618 living life without Lincolns lol
Dude, Lincoln's are bitchin' cars. Ladies love em cause they're so comfy, guys love em cause they know there's a muscle car under there just waiting to be woken up. Get with the program, man.
Update: I NOW OWN A TOWN CAR 😂😂
My first car was a 78 Ford LTD, built it up a little, but then I got my dream car , 79 Lincoln town car which made that Lincoln look small lol. I pulled the 400M out and put a RHS built 460 in, around 400hp, C6 transmission rebuilt with race clutches and shift kit which is really what made that land yacht get up and go. Changed the 9in rear from 2:73 to 3:50 traction lock. Painted black, tinted windows ( mafia style) but kept the white walls and hubcaps to keep the sleeper look. That was the funnest and enjoyable car I ever had. Street racing anything that pulled up to the light, and ran it at local drags trip, high 14’s . Loved the video, it like a blast from my past. While other kids were buying mustangs, and Camaros, sports cars, I was riding with my friends in crushed velour couch seats, fit 6 comfortably and rode like a cloud and was sitting at lights doing dual wheel burnouts and having a blast. Like you said, you can modify anything and make it your own one of a kind
I don’t know about or think people generally refer to Lincoln Town cars as “cool” BUT they are beloved by many, have a great reputation for comfort, reliability, smooth quiet ride and easy/low cost to fix most anything! So while it’s not (in stock form) a cool car, it was an AWESOME people hauler with elegant style and Superb comfort!
Your friend did an excellent job making it unique. From the front views in your video it almost has a Rolls Ghost “bespoke” look do it IMO. FRIENDS got a great eye and this is coming from a guy whom isn’t fond of black rims or tinted lense or blacked out chrome but as a package it all comes together and looks great!! This from a 55 year old wrencher / car crazed nut lololol Rock Steady!!!!
That car is dope as hell. I absolutely love the build! Zach, you built a beast!!
here early to show the panther platform some much needed love❤
Thanks for featuring this unique ride 👌 looks and sounds amazing
My first car was a 1984 Buick Park Avenue, I had no clue about cars back then but I can only imagine what I would have done if I still owned it! Awesome video such a cool car.
2v always sounded amazing yet not a lot of power lol. I love the weird builds especially land boats and big body stuff
I’ve got an 02 Lincoln Continental w the 4 valve 4.6 V8 with light modding and she boogies
Nice Lincoln! I was gifted a 1990 Mark 7 around my first driving times...it was a great car ...it suffered an early ending from me being dumb and I always regretted it! Such a sweet ride
Absolutely love all town cars, beautiful cars!
Dammit, someone beat me to it. I was gonna drive my Town Car down to you when I finish building it hoping to be the first town car on your channel, i guess im not the only one modifying them.
Sweet build. Clean work on the console. Love this era of Town Car. My first car was a Grand Marq that I modded the hell out of, supercharged, suspension work and a floor shift/console among other stuff. The panther was an awesome platform to tinker with for fun.
Cars like this need more attention this is very different kudos my man!
I've had 3 Town Cars in my life but nothing that even comes close to what you've got.
I am so completely jealous, I only wish I'd had the balls to do what you've done ! You only live once, so just follow your dreams and DO IT ! GO ZACH -YOU DA MAN !!! 👍😎
My grandma had one of these in forest green with gold grill/wheels/trim ect. Makes me wanna find one like that and make a toy out of it!
I would love this thing!!! it would be a great daily driver cruising in style
I'm thoroughly impressed with this build.
Amazing! What a project😮 Looks as good as it sounds.....
That's a good looking car. I'm very impressed
This is my top 3 reviews you have done the dodge omni nissan maxima and now this monster I love oddballs/sleepers
