FORGOTTEN 1973 Lincoln Continental | Will it RUN AND DRIVE to Rockland Co BIGGEST Car show?

2 years ago

This 1973 Lincoln Continental TownCar is the star of the RIP Roaring Garage movie. It was left to rust, buried in the mud in upstate NY. It was partially restored, then sat once again. Can a disabled mechanic get a disabled Continental up and running, polished and shiny and ready for the BIGGEST car show in the county? And in just three days? WATCH AND YOU WILL BE AMAZED!!!

I would like to share this with James August’s family, and find out what truly happened, so LIKE and SHARE this video far and wide, and spread the word! Thank you so much!
