Drive in style and comfort in this classic luxury car from the muscle car era! For sale is a good condition 1970 Lincoln Mark III. In their prime the Lincoln Mark III and the Cadillac Eldorado battled it out for luxury car supremacy with the Mark III winning the battle.
This particular car has been garage kept since it was bought a few years ago at a Ford dealership in Chicago. The car drove from Chicago to Green Bay and has since seen a lot of updates done. Those updates include:
-Carburetor rebuilt
-Passenger side exhaust manifold replaced (drivers side included with the sale)
-Timing chain and gears
-Timing cover and gasket
-Water pump
-Thermostat
-Belts
-Brake master cylinder
-Windshield washer reservoir
-Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, pcv valve
This car has been to many car shows and taken home some trophies, but it's best to be placed in a "diamond in the rough" type of category.
Some items needing attention include:
-Needs paint. The car looks great from 10 feet and gets a lot of attention. People have stopped to take pictures of the car. However, up close you can see areas where the wrong color white touch-up bottle was used.
-Small amounts of rust that appear to be minor. The drivers door has the worst patch and I included a picture of it. There is also some bubbling under the vinyl top and a small amount on the trunk.
-Turn signal arm needs replacing. A used replacement will be included free (originally bought for $350) with the vehicle sale.
-Passenger door arm rest needs a screw replaced
-Passenger power seat moves in all directions except reverse
-Passenger door needs a new hinge
-Both rear power windows in-op.
-Power antenna in-op
-Blower motor needs replacement (Mechanic has informed me the A/C may work as everything gets cold. We just don't know, because the blower motor doesn't work).
This Lincoln Mark III can be trusted to drive anywhere! The only reason I'm selling the car is so I can purchase a newer body style Ford Mustang. This car is equipped with 8-track, A/C, and cruise control.
If you have any questions, please ask! I've tried to be as honest as possible in the description of this vehicle. A $500 non refundable deposit is due within 3 days of the auction ending. The buyer is responsible to pay the balance within 7 days and pick up the car within 14 days of auction ending. Deposit will be accepted via PayPal or Cash. Final payment will be accepted only via Cash.

Lincoln debuts MKC ads starring Matthew McConaughey
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Lincoln is making the decisive commitment that it wants to improve its brand perception going forward. It can't be cheap to hire A-list talent like Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey and director Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for Drive, for its new ad campaign for the 2015 MKC crossover, but the company is showing that it's serious about the new vehicle and its future. The first three of these five commercials are just hitting YouTube, and they begin airing on television on September 6.
The Live in Your Moment campaign is all about Lincoln trying to sell not just the MKC to customers but also explain the brand's philosophy. It's one of the oldest luxury automakers around, but hasn't exactly had a glorious history, especially recently. Based on these first ads, we can see that there's a definite focus on philosophizing rather than focusing on the crossover. At times, McConaughey seems just a mustache and a mangled beer can away from reprising his role from True Detective.
The first ad (above) is simply titled Intro and sets the mood and concept for the whole campaign. Bull has McConaughey talking to a longhorn in the middle of a road, and I Just Like It has him explaining his affinity for the brand. Lincoln's full release is available below, and you can view the other ads by flipping through the playlist in the video player above.
Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...
Lincoln MKC prototype caught partially covered, reveals some changes
Tue, 14 May 2013When Lincoln pulled the wraps off the MKC Concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, we said that the very attractive concept was going to closely mirror the production vehicle. With few exceptions, a clad prototype recently caught running on public roads seems to substantiate our statement.
From what the pictures reveal, the disguised Lincoln MKC production mule and show concept seem to share the same waistline with identical sculpting over the wheels. The midsection of the two also appear to match with the same flare and styling. The lower rockers have been cleaned up a bit, mainly to be more practical in the real world (the deep chisels on the show car would have collected mud and snow).
Taking a look at the exposed front bumper, we see a very similar lower fascia complete wtih the metal skid plate on the chin. The window profile also seems to match the concept, though we're still unclear exactly how that C- and D-pillar section is going to look. Of course, and it always seems to be the case when concepts evolve into production vehicles, the MKC gains four normal door handles, standard-sized mirrors and a slightly smaller wheel/tire package. We expect the production version of the Lincoln MKC to debut later this year.
