My father had an 83 all black with red pin stripes and red cloth interior this to fade was the most comfortable riding car I ever rode in. He bought it new. I recall some of the kids thought we were rich😂 not hardly, it only looked expensive.
This car looks phenomenal, shiny as glass. Thanks for sharing your video. I’m also a Mark VI owner and a huge Lincoln fan. Today people are finally acknowledging the vast amount of engineering marvels achieved by the Mark VI. Many have even stated the ride quality is better, has sharper turning radius, and a quieter more roomy interior + larger trunk space than its predecessors. Those enhancements are just scratching the surface. As a bonus the Mark VI graced the original panther platform loved by body on frame enthusiasts. It is quite possible that the last traditional luxury coupé is truly the 1980 -1983 Mark VI.
This was my first Lincoln, purchased in 1994 with 128K miles, a re-done paint job in the correct colors with the Givenchy striping (its seller was the owner of a body shop) and a broken front passenger coil spring. With new springs/shocks and Dunlop elite tires, I was immediately taken with the smooth silence of operation and improved handling over my 2 '77 Cadillac DeVilles. Also had to repair a leaking rear main seal. Unfortunately, I banged it up somewhat due to a mishap on a wet Pennsylvania blacktop, but that didn't stop me from driving it until it jumped timing @248K. Mine also had the factory 8-track (operational) but no CB radio and seat bottoms upholstered in a wide-wale corduroy cloth. The only rust was along the passenger side roof drip rails. Also, being a 2-door on the Panther chassis, it weighed a bit less that the 4-doors, but no way was it 4800 pounds! The TBI 302 engine that year (rated @ 129BHP) got great gas mileage but was a real dog up hills. Oh, and my power antenna always went down fully!
PURE CLASS! from a period when people knew how to engineer, be creative, inventive, innovative, and care about more than their isolated, self absorbed, complaining existence. Much more than the copy cat junk currently on the road. The best of the best with amazing engineering. Could never be replicated today.
this Lincoln was made the same year i was born my dad had a 4 door all brown it was a mark 6 two only paid $2000 for but it had a jump title great classic car
They were the s***❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I know gorgeous wasn't the word and the ride have mercy these cars were some kind of beautiful back in the day it seems like like the 80s or a million years away🤷♂️😪🌹❤️ and they were just around the corner✌️
Beautiful! It is too bad that they don't make personal luxury cars any more, especially in 2 door. I love the electronic instrument panel, the auto-lamp, the exterior color is excellent. I guess that 8-tracts back then were still popular. Does anyone still use CB's any more?
That’s exactly like my mother was but she had the touring headlamps with, but it looked like eyes that would light up when the parking lights were on same everything oh my God what a beautiful car sure miss that
The interior is better than the famous and spectacular Lincoln Continental MK 5, and also the exterior is spectacular, but the problem for the 1980 MK6 is always the 1977 MK5...
you people's don't know how to make cars what he texting about American make great cars it well make strong luxury classy compare to the newtexting cars it garbage plastics no style ill would love to drive this beautiful cars he probably drive Toyota prius
I bought this same exact car in 1984, LOVED it! I wish I still had it!

The highest compliment to the Thunderbird tradition. Who says trickle down doesn't work.

THE ELEGANT SHORTER BABY LINCOLN WITH THE ROLLS ROYCE GRILL. THEY LOOKED ALOT NICER THEN THE 70'S BOATS
THIS IS A STR8 UP G-RIDE. WOULD LOVE TO CRUISE THIS BABY TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF 📴
Nice ride, but parts have to be scarce?
This car was priced at 16,000 from Don Sitts auto sales in Ohio. RK doubled the price on this car as soon as they bought it.
I just recently saw RK Motors, yes... Beautiful cars available, but at a high price!
I have one for sale aswell everything near perfect condition and drives perfect . Original paint . $7000
