Cool Colab: 1984 Lincoln Continental Turbo Diesel
A diesel in a Lincoln? No, this is not a wild swap born in a woodshed over a dark winter. This is a factory-built piece of automotive history. In the wild place that was Michigan in the late 70s, some nuts at the Lincoln division of Ford’s empire decided that consumers wanted a diesel-powered Lincoln. The only problem was that Ford didn’t have a small passgenger car sized diesel, so they purchased M21 inline-6 turbo diesels from BMW and built one of the strangest cars you’ll see. Find this 1984 Lincoln Continental Turbo Diesel offered for $6,500 in Veneta, OR via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Bad idea: Will something from the M50 family tree be a direct bolt in?
I saw one of those in a junkyard once and was very confused.
Great fun pulling into the truck stops to fuel up 😂😆😂
