This 1969 Lincoln Mark III is powered by a 460ci V8 engine with a 4-barrel carburetor backed by an automatic transmission. Equipped with power steering, power disc brakes, factory air conditioning, twilight Sentinel headlights, roof-mounted warning lights and a full-size spare. Purchased in 4/ 1993 with 61, 484 miles by it most recent southern California owner and serviced at 'Mike Mayberry Lincoln Mercury', the renown Lincoln/ Mercury dealership of North Hollywood, CA and documented with original sales invoice, brochures and original build sheet etc. The car will also be sold with a thick file of service history showing that at no time was any expense spared on this particular car's preventive maintenance.
Features AM/ FM radio, wood-grain trim, electric clock, power windows, power seats, remote mirror, rear window defrost. Rides on 15-inch steel wheels with correct Lincoln hubcaps. Obviously always garage kept since new, reportedly with only some 80K original miles. The car is in mostly all original and therefore with obviously some light signs of wear from over the years but overall a truly well preserved and mostly unrestored survivor.
The original 460/ 365HP V8 engine is extremely strong and powerful and all the options are working as they should including the air conditioning.
Few products from the Motor City have been as well-defined in the market as the Continental Mark III. Produced by Fords Lincoln-Mercury division from 1969 to 1971. By 1971 the good looking and popular Mark III was entering its last year of production and was Ford's challenge to Cadillac and squared directly at the Eldorado. This handsome luxury coupe is highly desired today by collectors and has become a 'Milestone car'
This is a rare opportunity to own a very fine surviving mostly all original example of an obviously always garaged and well preserved 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III 2 Door Hardtop Coupe with believed to be only 80K original miles with no evidence or history of any accident repairs in this striking and very rare color combination!
