1970 Lincoln Mark III

37,500 Original miles, purchased from the original owner!

 

This is not a show car!! This is a really nice cruiser/driver!!

 

Car runs and drives great, cruises down the highway at 80 mph like a new car!

 

Mostly original paint, the sides appear to have been painted but it is a good job and matches the rest of the car very well. No evidence of  rust is visible. Could use a good buff/wax job.

All the glass is in excellent condition and the all of the power windows work.

The chrome is in nice driver condition with some pitting here and there. Overall pepper pitting on most everything.

The vinyl top is in good condition with a few small "crispy" areas around the back window.

The interior is all original leather, not ripped or worn but the seats are dry and hard. Could benefit from a good application of leather conditioner.

The dash and gauges are in beautiful condition and are in good working order

The 460 CID engine runs great with no issues. Factory rated 360 HP It has plenty of power and runs smooth with no noises. Its 10:50 to 1  compression so it needs good 93 octane gas

It has had new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points, starter, alternator, belts and hoses and NEW RH exhaust manifold recently installed.

All of the power accessories work, including the original AM FM radio.

NEEDS:

Tires are old, dry rotted  and should be replaced if the car is driven far.


Shocks are original and feel spongy - they need to be replaced if the car is to be seriously driven.


AC does not work, its all there and holds vacuum just needs a charge

The vacuum headlights sag when the car is not running but close as soon as it is started

The turn signal stalk is loose and the turn signal sometimes will randomly come on

 

This will make someone a nice cruiser for this summer!! Drive it home!!

 

Please ask any and all questions. Send e bay messages or call Marvin at 815 521 9566

 

The car is located about 45 mins South of Chicago.

 

Thank you for looking!!!

Conan O'Brien takes McConaughey's Lincoln ad to its logical conclusion

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

We all had to see this coming. Conan O'Brien has released a parody of Matthew McConaughey's new ads for the 2015 Lincoln MKC and remixed them with lines from one of his most critically acclaimed recent roles.
The now much darker commercial probably isn't how Lincoln would prefer the MKC to be marketed, but really in a few of the actual ads, McConaughey already seems moments away from breaking into a full Rustin Cohle from True Detective impression. The cadence and tone of his voice are just so close to that character, especially in the one where he's talking to the bull standing in the middle of the road. It very nearly verges on parody anyway; Conan is just turning all of this up to 11.
It's a little surprising that the writers didn't dig a little deeper into the McConaughey oeuvre for the parody. Maybe McConaughey could have taken the MKC for a party at the Moon Tower from Dazed and Confused. In any case, it's worth a quick watch, so check it out.

Lincoln scales back free maintenance

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

Complimentary scheduled maintenance programs have been great tools for luxury automakers to draw in new customers, but some are starting to scale their programs back considerably. According to Automotive News, Lincoln is joining Jaguar and Volvo on the list of automakers reducing the length of time it will be providing free maintenance to its customers.
Lincoln's four-year/50,000-mile maintenance program first kicked off as an incentive in 2010 and became permanent later that year, but starting with the 2014 model year, this will be cut to just two years and 24,000 miles. This could make short-term leases even more appealing for some consumers, but according to Automotive News, some Lincoln dealers are unhappy with the scaling back. The move admittedly comes at an odd time for Lincoln, with parent Ford seemingly working hard to increase consideration among luxury buyers as it looks to reverse the marque's long decline.

Why Lincoln says it's loving Ellen and Conan MKC ad spoofs [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

You would think that commercial being ridiculed across the Internet would be an advertising executive's worst nightmare, but that's not necessarily the case. At least not when it comes to Lincoln and its latest campaign to promote the new MKC.
The campaign features Matthew McConaughey channeling his characters from True Detective and The Lincoln Lawyer, and was quickly spoofed by both Conan O'Brien and Ellen DeGeneres. But instead of shaking their heads in dismay at the comedy talk-show hosts' take on their ad, Lincoln and its advertising firm Hudson Rouge welcome the free publicity.
"We're flattered. Just to get out into the public mind with parodies says you've achieved a certain amount of notoriety," Hudson Rouge CCO Jon Pearce told Automotive News. "It's hard to put a dollar amount on earned media. We couldn't ask for better."
