THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this groovy classic 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark lll coupe! Finished in maroon metallic over black leather hides, this big half-century old gentleman's coupe shows just over 15,200 miles on its working five-digit odometer. The actual mileage cannot 100% be verified. This BLUE CALIFORNIA LICENSE PLATE Mark lll features a very good running power 7.5 liter 460 cubic inch V8 engine mated to the factory three-speed automatic transmission, electric windows, electric leather seats, working am/fm radio with electric antenna, original wheel covers with Dunlop Elite whitewall tires and more. It is being sold with clear and clean California title in my name with current 2020 registration. This is a fabulous find, for about the cost of THE SALES TAX ALONE ON A NEW Lincoln sedan!
THE BODY AND TRIM
This exterior of this 1969 Mark lll is in fair to good rust-free condition overall with a decent overall shine to the paint finish. The chrome bumpers have some pitting/light corrosion and the body has many nicks, scratches, faded and touched up spots.
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this Lincoln is in quite nice original condition overall with most all other gauges and controls in excellent working order. Imperfections inside the car include driver seat not moving forward and back, poor radio reception due to inop antenna, cracked steering wheel center, inop fuel gauge, rf window just became non-op, tattered trunk carpeting along with some light wear and tear elements in what is a still elegant and comfortable 50 year-old cockpit.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This old coupe starts well with excellent running smooth and torquey V8 engine, buttery smooth shifting transmission along with light smooth power steering and supple suspension. This is one comfortable cruiser still that gleans much attention from fellow motorists!
