1969 Lincoln Mark III

Why This Vehicle is Special

The 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III we have here at Skyway Classics is a low milage (61500), one family owned, 2-door luxury classic finished in green over green leather with a green vinyl roof and is powered by a 460 cubic inch V8 backed by a C-6 automatic transmission and loaded with options.

Mechanical

The 460 cubic inch V8 engine is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and was rated from the factory at 365 horsepower with the power being sent to the rear wheels via a C-6 three-speed automatic transmission.

The engine looks just as it did from the factory with its Ford Blue painted block , intake, valve covers, and air cleaner assembly as well as having all the correct parts on it like power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, factory cast iron exhaust, and sits in a clean and detailed engine compartment.

It rides on steel wheels that are fitted with factory Lincoln turbine-style wheel covers and wears thin whitewall tires.

Interior

The cabin is upholstered in green leather and fabric split front bench seat with a folding front armrest with the matching full rear seat and is equipped with the usual luxury amenities including power windows, power locks, radio, and air conditioning which is controlled from a panel mounted to the left of the steering column.

Instrumentation is housed in individual square recesses, and includes a 120-mph speedometer, analog clock, fuel level indicator, oil pressure gauge, and coolant temperature gauge, with just about 62k miles shown on the five-digit odometer.

Exterior

The Mark III is based on the contemporary Thunderbird platform with a slightly longer wheelbase in 1969. Ours is finished in green and features a green vinyl landau-style top.

The Mark retains the Continental script along the curvature of the faux-spare tire hump in the trunk lid and that great iconic Mark styling flows gracefully along the long lines of this two-door from front to the rear.

It has shiny front and rear bumpers and looks long, low, and sleek, just like the designers were looking for.

Conclusion

The 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III we have here at Skyway Classics is a low mileage example of what luxury and performance cars were all about back in the sixties.

They exude the feeling of gracefulness as well as performance with that big 460 cubic inch engine pulling you down the road.

Don't miss out on this green beauty of an elegant car, come see it today.
