Vehicle Description
This 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III is big in size, style,
luxury, and power. In fact, the only thing that's not big on this
classic coupe is the price.
The 1971 cars celebrated something special. This was 50 years of
Lincoln being the crown jewel in the Ford family, and the luxurious
Mark III really took center stage. This was born an Arctic White
car, and it was refreshed later in life to keep a bright style
without looking out of place on a very stock classic. And for an
added touch of class, this has the coordinating white vinyl roof.
It makes for a clean canvas to add a nice hint of color as the red
pinstripe runs the full length to show off the sporty curve of the
rear fender. We also love the bumpers. They hug the form like an
integral part of the design, and these have a terrific shine. And
there's plenty of more great original style brightwork everywhere
from the turbine-style wheel covers to a grille that's as dignified
as a Rolls-Royce.
We love it when the exterior pinstripe is a preview of the interior
color, and the deep red makes for quite an attractive setup. The
wide/smooth dash pad and shag carpeting really have that 1970s
feel. And these large Mark IIIs had plenty of room to share with
everyone. But the fold-down armrest is a reminder that the driver
always gets individual space. This is a very original-style
interior. That means you have provisions for significant luxury
features like power seats, power windows, power locks, cruise
control, power headlight doors, and factory air conditioning. These
do need investments to return the full function, and so the value
price is there to leave room in your budget for when you want to
choose where to make improvements. And what you'll really like is
that from day one you get an impressively preserved interior that
shows the Lincoln difference in the details. It's everywhere from
the decorative stitching in the seatbacks, to the real wood trim
they utilized when other premium brands just used simulated
lumber.
Ford's big 460 cubic inch V8 with four-barrel carburetor is a
terrific powerhouse. It looks dominating in the engine bay with the
blue block, valve covers, and air grabber all radiating in the
darkness. And if you dig a little deeper, you'll also notice the
right investments like a new battery and the A/C system retrofitted
for R134a. The big V8 was built in the higher compression era, and
so it knows how to get this coupe moving with authority. Plus, it's
supported by the right comfortable driving pieces, including the
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power
brakes w/discs up front.
This Lincoln has the size, style, and stature you love. And so at a
price like this, you'll want to hurry on this deal. Call
