The private seller offers for sale this 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III, powered by an 8.5-litre V8 engine, paired with an automatic transmission. The Mark III is finished in light blue with a white vinyl roof, and the photos document the car from the harbour front, together with the stages of the engine rebuild carried out by the seller.
According to the seller, the engine has been rebuilt, bored and honed, and built with performance parts, while the C6 automatic transmission has been rebuilt. The photos show the engine in pieces on the workbench, the bare block, the assembled engine on a stand, the underside of the car, the data plate and the interior with the floor and wiring exposed. The seller notes that the interior needs restoration, that the vehicle is overall in good shape, and that a lot of parts are included in the sale.
The Continental Mark III was introduced for the 1969 model year as Lincoln’s answer to the personal luxury coupe, sharing its platform with the Ford Thunderbird and with long hood and short deck proportions. A prominent radiator-style grille, hidden headlights and a raised rear deck with a spare-tire-shaped bulge on the trunk lid made it unmistakable. It was powered by the 460 cubic inch V8 as standard, with a three-speed automatic transmission, and was sold until 1971.
The Mark III remains an appealing American classic, and this example comes with a rebuilt engine and transmission, according to the seller, for a new owner willing to take on the interior. It is an interesting opportunity for anyone who enjoys an American classic project.
