Lincoln Continental Mark III 1970

The 1970 Lincoln Continental Mark III is a car that elegantly embodies the luxurious side of the American auto industry, a period 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's vice president Lee Iacocca, this generation of Continental combined bold styling with an unparalleled level of luxury, making the Mark III a fast favorite among the wealthy of the time.

This particular example, finished in a stunning Medium Aqua Metallic color with a matching aqua leather interior and a black vinyl roof, exudes the sophistication of the '70s. The car is equipped with the original 460 CID 4V V8 engine, which perfectly suits the character of this Lincoln. With just 49,000 miles on the odometer and a Select-Shift 3-speed transmission, this Mark III not only offers impressive power, but also a smooth and relaxing ride, which is completely in line with its luxurious appearance.

The Lincoln Continental Mark III was praised for its extensive equipment and comfort features, and this example clearly shows this. The car has factory-original automatic climate control, which was a very advanced feature at the time. The power windows and seats also add to the comfort and feeling of luxury that this car offers. The interior is also 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 a wealth of documentation, including the original window sticker, owner's manual, dealer brochure, and an extensive set of maintenance records and receipts. In addition, there are extra keys and information from the Lincoln and Continental Owner's Club, which shows that this car has always been treated with care by true enthusiasts. Its history as a former California car adds to its charm, as the climate there is often favorable to 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 that they had made it, without being overly flashy. The delay wipers and the automatic temperature control are just a few of the details that make daily use of this classic particularly pleasant.
