The episode starts with the team, consisting of Carlos, Nolan, and Shawn, getting a lead on a rare 1961 Lincoln Continental owned by a man named Chuck. The car has been rusting away in his backyard for over two decades, and Chuck is finally ready to part ways with the vehicle. However, the team's task is not going to be an easy one as the car is located in a backwoods of Washington, and there is a possibility that it's buried beneath the surrounding vegetation and debris.

After reaching their destination, the group meets Chuck and inspects the car.

Despite the car's pristine structure, the team soon discovers multiple issues with the car, such as a seized engine and severe rust damage that would require extensive work to restore its former glory.

While Carlos, the team's mechanic, is working on fixing the Lincoln after facing various challenges in the garage, the Carspotting team decides to hit up some other locations around Washington to look for cars that they could add to their collection. They stumble upon unique classic cars such as Chevy Impala, 1941 Cadillac, and a Dodge Daytona Charger - each with its own interesting story. They discuss the car's potential with their respective owners, but ultimately, they remain focused on their primary objective - the Lincoln Continental.

As the team is working on fixing the Lincoln, they run into various setbacks that make the job a lot harder than they initially anticipated. This includes rusted bolts that refuse to budge and replacing engines that are beyond repair. The team is trying to complete the restoration project, but with each passing day, they are running out of time, and the cost of restoration keeps on adding up.

The episode ends with the Carspotting team getting back on track with the Lincoln project, and having high hopes of its success. With the car's restoration coming to an end, the team is excited to see their hard work pay off.
