Vehicle Description
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.
