1969 Lincoln Continental

This 1969 Lincoln Mark III is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. The Mark III was created when Lee Iacocca said to his design VP let's put a Rolls Royce Grille on a Thunderbird. Based on the Continental the Mark III would use the flailing Thunderbirds platform and try to recoup some of the development cost associated with bringing a new car to the market. The Mark would go up against Cadillac's heavily redesigned Eldorado which was supposed to be a revolutionary car for its day. The Lincoln however was what people were looking for and absolutely decimated the competition. This gorgeous green 69 is a well documented, well put together restoration where no expense was spared. The frame off restoration was as extensive as they get. The frame and suspension components were all painted ensuring there longevity and look good while doing it. The body was stripped down to bare metal, primed and then painted back to its original Dark Aqua Metallic The black vinyl top was just put on and brings out a little more of the green in the paint. The chrome, both front and rear, shines like it was just polished. Open the hood and the freshly built all original 460 looks great but sounds even better. That lower rumble was achieved by installing a RV cam during the rebuild while the new exhaust uses a little different resonator as well. Open the door and the full extent of just how luxurious this Mark III is hits you like a truck. The leather interior is in like new condition and should be since the over 5000 job was just recently finished and completed the restoration of this beauty. These Lincolns have always been cool cars but there are few that have been brought back to this degree which makes this one that much cooler.
