The restoration of Lincoln Mark IV

I found this on one Serbian web-site; basically all work was done from September 2010 until July 2011. The owner is from Croatia and he needed a hobby to keep his mind occupied after his wife passed away.
Pretty impressive work.

How all if you have to do is ship it to Croatia ... That will cost you ~$3,000.

the merc and the blue capri isnt mine xD



here is a video of works..the car is mot-ed , drives real nice, really great mileage (About 16 liter of 98 octane gas on 60 miles) , and goes like HELL.

BB Ford really rules , especially couse the engine was seased , we just changed the oil , filters, removed all restrictions , cleaned the carb and voila... high class muscle car..sorta


me trying to drive it for the first time xD
