1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III
Offered for sale is this very rare 1969 Lincoln. The Continental Mark III 2 door hardtop Luxury Coupe was the top model for 1969. It is fairly hard to find one that is still in good to very good condition like this one. This is a two owner automobile (technically three as the original owner - an older gentleman, who purchased the car new at the Kumpf Lincoln-Mercury dealership in Denver in 1969 did donate it to a local museum from which I purchased it sometime later). The body is straight and the exterior is in pretty good condition, but the paint (one repaint) looks a little tired and does not show as well as it could or should. There are a few minor blemishes, scratches, etc. and a couple of small rust spots at/near the bottom of the car. A good detail/buffing should really help in getting it to look great. The bumpers, chrome, stainless trim, etc. are in very good to great condition. The windshield and glass are in great condition. The vinyl top was replaced by the previous owner (I guess her wanted to keep the car in the best condition possible). The car is nicely appointed with the original vinyl and cloth interior which is in very good if not great condition. The headliner, carpet and rubber mats are in very good condition. Again, a good detail job will go a long way to reviving this beautiful interior. The dash looks great except for one 2-3" crack on the right side of the steering wheel. The car has AC and power everything. It has the 460 engine and automatic transmission, a new fuel pump was installed about a year ago. The car starts, runs and drives very well and is a pleasure to drive. It is not perfect by any means as it is an older automobile, but it will make a very nice driver or cruiser with only a minimal amount of TLC. It has only 74,000 miles showing on the odomoter. This is your chance to own a legendary automobile which has some of the best styling ever designed.
Affordable and attractively priced with a low and very reasonable reserve, this car will be a very smart buy for anyone. You are welcome to come and inspect the car in person. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. A $520 non-refundable deposit is due immediately upon the end of the aution by the winning bidder via PayPal. The remaining balance is payable within 48 hours after the end of the auction via Bank Wire. The Buyer is responsible for all transportation arrangements and costs to their location. The car is sold as-is, with no warranty/guarantee. Sale is final, no return or refund. The car must be picked up within seven to ten days after the end of the auction.
Thank you for looking and happy bidding!

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
1955 Lincoln Indianapolis concept up for auction
Sat, 21 Sep 2013
Lincoln was never a brand known for making sports cars. In fact it hasn't offered anything with less than four doors since the demise of the Mark VIII, and that was hardly what you'd call "performance oriented". But that doesn't mean that Ford's luxury marque never toyed with the idea.
In 1955 Ford delivered a Lincoln chassis (along with a 200-horsepower V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission) to Carrozzeria Boano, an Italian coachbuilder that had just branched off from Ghia the year before. The resulting orange coupe you see here was named after Indianapolis and was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show. And while its detailing may have been divisive, the overall shape certainly caught the eye.
Lincoln bringing in MKZ Hybrid over rollaway risk
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Federal safety standards require that every new car needs to have the brake depressed in order to shift it out of Park. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found fault in the transmission range sensor on certain examples of the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, allowing the car to be shifted out of Park without first depressing the brake. The fear is that with this condition, affected vehicles may be unintentionally pulled out of Park, resulting in a possible rollaway. That safety concern has prompted parent Ford Motor Company to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to 7,153 examples of the MKZ Hybrid built between April 26, 2012 and September 24, 2013, covering the 2013 and 2014 model years. As a result, Ford will notify owners to bring their MKZs into their local Lincoln dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module software updated in order to rectify the problem. See the full recall notice below for details.
