The 1970 Lincoln Continental Mark III is a car that elegantly embodies the luxury side of the American auto industry, an era when comfort and power went hand in hand. The Mark III was introduced in 1968 as a response to the rising popularity of the Cadillac Eldorado, and Lincoln did not want to be left behind in the race to create the most prestigious personal luxury car. Designed under the supervision of Ford vice president Lee Iacocca, this generation Continental combined bold styling with an unparalleled level of luxury, quickly making the Mark III a favorite among the affluent of the time.
This particular example, finished in stunning Medium Aqua Metallic with a matching aqua leather interior and black vinyl roof, exudes the sophistication of the 1970s. The car is equipped with the original 460 CID 4V V8 engine, which perfectly suits the character of this Lincoln. With only 49,000 miles on the odometer and a Select-Shift 3-speed transmission, this Mark III offers not only impressive power, but also a smooth and relaxed ride that is completely in line with its luxurious appearance.
The Lincoln Continental Mark III was praised for its extensive equipment and comfortable amenities, and this example clearly reflects that. The car features factory automatic climate control, which was a particularly advanced feature at the time. The power windows and seats also contribute to the comfort and sense of luxury that this car offers. The interior is further equipped with tinted glass and an AM/FM radio, along with a modern audio upgrade that provides an even better sound experience while driving.
This example comes with rich documentation, including the original window sticker, instruction booklet, dealer brochure, and a comprehensive set of maintenance documents and receipts. Additionally, additional keys are present, as well as information from the Lincoln and Continental Owner's Club, demonstrating that this car has always been handled with care by true enthusiasts. Its history as a former California car adds to its charm, as the climate there often favors the condition of classic vehicles.
With the 9" rear axle with a 3.00 gear ratio, this Lincoln is built for relaxed highway cruising. The suspension is supple, the steering precise, and the overall driving experience is all about comfort. The Mark III was a status symbol, a car for those who wanted to show they had it made without being overly showy. The delay wipers and automatic temperature control are just some of the details that make the daily use of this classic particularly pleasant.
To get a good idea of the car, we recommend coming to one of the viewing days.
