These cars are built to last! They never really got the credit they deserved. People are just now starting to appreciate these cars. Perfect example of longevity is the Cubans.

A well cared for older,.automobile, that's still on the road, reliablly, serving it's owner. is IMPRESSIVE.
being rebuilt means the BODY has over a million miles.. the motor doesn't... at least not all of it.. the block and head may be original.. but the internals arent.. i'd like to see a car/truck with over 1 million miles without an engine rebuild... and not a Semi *18 wheeler* as those go 750k easy..
I don't know if this is true but a few years back this guy had a VW and he had a couple millions km's on it and VW was so impressed they gave him a new VW.
The reporter said he takes advantage of the "lifetime warranty" on nearly every other part of the car. So if I buy one of these old Town Cars now..does the "lifetime warranty" still work? Hit reply to let me know, thanks!
@Nightbird No sir. When you get a lifetime warranty on a part it is usually not transferable. However if you get the name and information of the person who purchased the parts they can make the defective exchange. BTW They only cover defects not normal wear and tear.
@88soulsurvivor Thanks for the reply! I thought it was a bit too good to be true. I am currently searching for a 1982-83 Lincoln Mark VI Sedan preferably in Black, Dark Blue or Dark Grey..but finding these in good shape and in these colors is almost impossible. Even worst if you want a moonroof. These new Lincoln's just don't give you the comfort factor like the oldies. Thank's again for the comment. =)
@Nightbird ... the life time warranty im pretty sure is for each individual part.. some have it some dont.. i could be wrong.. and im pretty sure the lifetime warranty disappears unless you buy a new part that also has it..
@fordxbgtfalcon he rebuilt the motor at 1 million miles, at the time of this video he has 300k on the rebuilt motor, as far as now he is probably dead. Oh well we all die.
fords back then sucked too!! thats amazing!! the fuel injected 5.0 V8 from 86 to the end of production, and the 4.6 sohc/dohc and 5.4's are the finest 8 cylinders on the planet in my opinion!! they run without oil!!
Lincoln is a great car. I have a 1997 Continental. No signs of slowing down or growing old either at almost 150,000 miles. Keep on truckin' my friend!
i had the same car , mine had the 32 spoke rims that thing was a tank crashed it on the highway on ice got hit by a semi, and i walked away, i loved that car
Just goes to show a good car will last forever if you look after it properly. Although my Ford Focus, with 136,000 miles, got a long way to go before beating this car. XD
you'll be lucky to see any new cars make it to 100,000 miles now a days lol My 97 towncar has 132,000 miles and has not had any problems. My buddies 96 towncar has 470,000 miles and just about 2 months ago had a transmission problem which he obviously fixed because it is worth it...GOOD CARS
@1991honda250x he had the engine rebuilt at 1 million miles. I would would do the same too, no matter how well its built, a million is really pushing it.
@FordNissanChevy do u know for sure he waited that long b/c that would definatly make him part of the million mile club and strike up another one for ford
@TheCottonTop nope, flaggots killed off my other numerous youtube accounts that had all my good names, and I couldn't think of a good name so i'd figure I would just name my newest channel based on what vehicles you'll most likely see in my videos, rarely a Chevy, a piece of fucking shit Sentra and some Fords. I would really like to change it tho lol
Until it stops running? Well, if it does stop "running" he can get new parts. So, it's just a matter of how WILLING you are going to pay for those LONG TERM maintenance costs.
i hope my 94 lincoln can see that many miles, its been a great car, this story reminds me of my old lebaron 3.0 that motor was indestructable, if you can control the oil consumption. anyways lincolns are like the american flagship.
Negative, Cornflake. If a car is set up correctly, and driven properly, it can easily get higher mileage than that stated on the sticker. I also have a 99 TC that has logged 29.4 hwy mog on two seperate occasions.
It runs fine, I am getting a glitch w #8 cylinder, I'll let you know whenit's fixed. If you are looking at a TC with High miles, the front suspension, differential, A/C , and the trans are going to need checked. The MAIN THING is body/interior/paint. If you buy the car cheap enough, the mechanical stuff isn't too bad. Get it scanned and tell me the codes, I'll help if I can!
I would like to see the amount of money he has spent on the vehicle to get it up to that. If you throw enough money at anything, it will last forever.
Basically, scheduled maintenance. Crown Victorias and Towncars "overdeliver" as far as operating costs gol. They are built for police and commercial service, and as such, are expected to be durable. Scheduled maintenance is important, and when other issues, like brakes or suspension arise, they need to be corrected right away. You can run into things like engine wearing out, etc. Still replacing an engine is cheaper than the depreciation on a new one.
just finished a "test tank" with my 18 year old son's'99 TC. In town driving, he ran a 22mpg avg. on 17.8 gallons of regular, with an adiition of 5oz Xylene/5oz Acetone. Not bad, that car has right at 400000 miles on it.
@4L60E good point, these cars depreciate way quick. I had a 2001 crown vic which spun a bearing, end up rebuilding the whole thing. Anyways took some time, but saved me money, and the time I would of spent at work so double the time and money. Cars are the worse investment ever.
Cars aren't investments. cars are overhead. They represent the cost of getting to work, and keeping yourself and your family safe while doing so. I keep my TC cherry, so whenever it gets a scratch or ding, it goes to the body shop. Any funny rattle or mechanical issue gets fixed right away also. Still, WAY less money than a new car payment, and the car looks and runs like new.
The "delta' is always going to be cost per mile driven. So, Take the total cost of the car, interest on the car loan, all maintenance and insurance costs, add 'em up, divide by a million. You would be suprised at the mpg possible on most cars, if they are set uo right, and driven properly. The same mentality applies to commercial airlines. Very strict parameters are inplace to ensure maximum fuel economy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Don't get too excited folks. They specifically pointed out in the video that the engine has been rebuilt so it is no big deal. If you rebuilt the engine in a Chevy Cavalier and then drove it mostly highway miles, it would reach 1.3 million miles eventually too.
he rebuilt it at 1 million miles. He has traveled a total of 1.3 on it. A Cavalier would more than likely never see 1 million miles without having major problems.
New cars are more complicated, so there is more that can go wrong with them, plus stuff made back then were built very tough, look at a garden tractor from today and compare it to one from the 60's or 70's. Same logic applies to most things.
@FordNissanChevy that what makes the town car so great. Even the new ones last forever. The 4.6 is very easy to service and there are examples of original unrebuilt engines with over 1 million.
If you never floor it you get large amounts of carbon buildup, and die. If you dont drive it hard, the motor wont get as hot as it can, and the engine will become brittle.
@Righty736 well what about the rings? That's what wears out the most. The minute your car starts to burn oil, you know that's the beginning of an end to you piston rings.
i am from holland and my father had the car back here in holland in 83 brand new ,i was 13 years old then. i was i love at first sight great car then and in my opinion still now.
they are great cars,, they wont win any races, cops aint gona catch shit in em, but i know why they keep em, cause they are tough as nails,, the Crownvic/ Gran marQuis/ Town car are great cars
Yeah my grandpa is a polar opposite to this guy. He buys a car brand new, beats the absolute shit out of it, changes the oil ever 10 thousand miles, destroys the interior with cigarette burns than sells it 3 years later for an eighth of what he paid.
This is what I meant in one comment on one of my friends channels. Since it's common for Japanese and German cars to have million miles, no one cares anymore when they reach that many miles, but when an American made car reaches a million miles, it's like the World News. Take this video for example.
Hmmmm, I had to recover plenty of German cars off the side of he motorway when I worked in a towtruck firm. Alot of them had less than 16'000 miles on the clock. They'd just died. Modern cars are aren't built for long durations.
My Honda only lasted 50'000 miles before the cylnder head gasket blew.
Must not have been taking care of them. Most of the cars I see on the side of the road are older American cars. I'll see some older German and Japanese cars off the road here and there, but not as much as American.
Thats because you live in America perhaps.??You're bound to see more broken down American cars.Especially old cars.
But how can you not look after a car that got less than 16'000 miles on the clock? German cars are supposed to pretty much look after themselves with supposed high build quality
Yeah lol my grand father has a 1978 and a 1981, the 81 is a Signature Series :D Marine Blue with a 351 but the 78 has the BIG 460 in it :D WOO that's got power, I wish I had those 2 cars.
According to this video, this car had a re-build after it rolled over once, or when his odometer read 53 miles, so this car's engine has about a million miles, but the body has over a million
Nice...I have a 1989 Lincoln Town Car. It has 137,000 on it. I hope mine sees as many miles as yours has~!

Yeah my grandpa is a polar opposite to this guy. He buys a car brand new, beats the absolute shit out of it, changes the oil ever 10 thousand miles, destroys the interior with cigarette burns than sells it 3 years later for an eighth of what he paid.

Yeah, they dont tell what kind of gas mileage that piece of crap gets..
MoxleyMauser 2 years ago
gas milage really didnt matter much.
FordNissanChevy 2 years ago
It didnt back then, but it does matter now.
MoxleyMauser 2 years ago
Actually, they do tell.
And what does the gas mileage matter to the fact that it has 1.3 mil miles on it?

He does, only it's not very clear, he says
"That car's good on gasoline, 22 on the highway, 16-18 in town."
It can't be that bad to do 1,300,000 miles. But I expect he drives it real slow and gentle.

This is what I meant in one comment on one of my friends channels. Since it's common for Japanese and German cars to have million miles, no one cares anymore when they reach that many miles, but when an American made car reaches a million miles, it's like the World News. Take this video for example.

Im sorry to inform you, but jap cars only get hualed a million miles, and Europe is far to small.
FordNissanChevy 3 years ago
Hmmmm, I had to recover plenty of German cars off the side of he motorway when I worked in a towtruck firm. Alot of them had less than 16'000 miles on the clock. They'd just died. Modern cars are aren't built for long durations.
My Honda only lasted 50'000 miles before the cylnder head gasket blew.

my nissan has made it to 97k, but its got rust, power steering failure and possible engine problems.
FordNissanChevy 2 years ago
Must not have been taking care of them. Most of the cars I see on the side of the road are older American cars. I'll see some older German and Japanese cars off the road here and there, but not as much as American.
PROgoth121 2 years ago
Thats because you live in America perhaps.??You're bound to see more broken down American cars.Especially old cars.
But how can you not look after a car that got less than 16'000 miles on the clock? German cars are supposed to pretty much look after themselves with supposed high build quality
and not need servicing till 10-15'000 miles.

so the fuck what lets see a faggy little toyota go that far period i dont care if the engine is rebuilt 20 times it will still suck
krankiev 3 years ago
I just don't see this as impressive, you can make any car last a million miles if you rebuild the engine.
xScoobyDoo82x 3 years ago
bull shit...
and no gasoline engine could go that far without a rebuild so that's just stupid...
most cars would have broken down in that time even with an engine rebuild...
krankiev 3 years ago
there was a 2 million mile chevy all stock, look in my favorites
FordNissanChevy 3 years ago
Then you're proving my point that this isnt impressive.
xScoobyDoo82x 3 years ago
yes it is.
FordNissanChevy 3 years ago
no dip shit it is impressive because it's never broken down on him. dumb ass.
krankiev 3 years ago
According to this video, this car had a re-build after it rolled over once, or when his odometer read 53 miles, so this car's engine has about a million miles, but the body has over a million
