We had a 75 Chrysler Convertible that caught fire and burned the dash and damaged the windshield and damaged the inside drivers side A piller The fire started in the light switch but got it repaired and running again.
It runs well, but does have some power loss. The blue 72 mark 4 has much more power. The 76 mark 4 still needs to be checked on ignition, check everything and replace anything that is bad. I don't know how old the ignition parts are and how long it has been on the car. The LPG tank is 100 liters and has a limit of 80% so you can fill it with 80 liters. I have to test what it consumes i don't know yet. We recently drove a 330 km trip with it and had to refuel it once. I think it uses a little LPG more than gasoline. Gasoline costs around €2.04 per liter here, LPG €0.81 per liter, so it makes quite a difference.
In Europe, this type of car still has quite a value. And they are not that easy to find. If I only calculate parts, it's definitely worth it fixing it. If I calculate my hours and multiply that by an hourly rate, it is not interesting to fix this. but I do it for fun and I learn a lot for it. and of course it is another beautiful car saved from the scrapyard.
The older the cars, the more vacuum hoses you have. My 72 mark 4 has a vacuum control box for the settings of blower functions, that doesn't work very well either. This has already changed with the gray 76, they have come up with a better system for this. We have now all blower functions working again on the gray Lincoln.
They are indeed beautiful cars. If you calculate your hours and multiply that by an hourly rate, it is not interesting to fix it. In terms of parts it is, in Europe and therefore the Netherlands they ask between 13 and 15 k for a car in good condition. for a car with work they ask between 6 and 8 k. scrappers go for 3k. we have now spent around 5600 on it. that is purchasing the car including a complete interior, front window, and paint. And this one is an Cartier series you don't see often.
Geweldig dat jullie deze schitterende Mark IV gaan redden! Ben benieuwd naar part 2.
@@richardbuick9029 bedankt voor je leuke reactie. We hebben al heel wat werk verzet. Video 2 komt binnenkort.

How does that 7,5 liter V8 engine run with GPL? What's the tank capacity? How many km with a GPL tank?

Yeah, I agree,it likely won't be cost effective to fix it,I would pull some parts and get another one

I have a 71 Mark 3,be aware there's Alot of vacuum lines and such,if you can do it yourself, I guess,but I could verify there's Alot There

These are nice cars but you can probably buy a another one cheaper than you can fix this one.
