1969 Lincoln Mark Iii 67k Miles 2 Owner on 2040-cars
Raymore, Missouri, United States
|
You're bidding on a 67,331 mile rock solid 1969 Lincoln Mark III. The vehicle is almost all original, including the paint and interior, and was stored in a heated and cool garage for the last 25 years. The vehicle was in the same small town it's whole life out in Western Kansas until I brought it home to the Kansas City area. I purchased it from the second owners, an elderly couple, who purchased it about 30 years ago from their friend who was the original owner. I have the original documents, registrations and owner's manuals. The title is clear and still in the second owner's name.
Before the previous owner was the retired American Family Insurance Agent in the small town and he wanted to make sure the car was running driving correctly, so he had the car taken to his repair shop of many years where they rebuilt the top half of the engine (heads, intake, carb and tune up). The day I picked the car up I drove it right out of his garage. The only thing I've done to the vehicle thus far was to replace the water pump on the day the pictures were taken and add a set of brand new wheels (Liquid Metal Renegade Polished 75 15x8s) and tires (BF Goodrich Radial T/A P225/60R15) to the vehicle. I have the original wheels and hubcaps which will go with the car. The car has original paint. To really shine the paint needs to buffed and or polished. Of course there's some small door dings and scratches. The interior is all original and almost near perfect! The seats, dash pad, headliner and everything else is original and in incredible condition. The body has almost NOOOOOO rust. The underside is in amazing rust free condition. There's on a small rust spot on the left rear quarter and NOOOOOO where else. The car is way cool to drive and gets a lot of looks. The only thing a buyer would plan on repairing is the original exhaust is leaking. I was going to put a set of dual turbo mufflers for a great sound. Sometimes the head light doors close and sometimes the stay open. I've never had a chance to look at them. My intentions was to license the car and drive it to work several days a weeks during the nice months of the year and maybe out at night once and in awhile, however plans have changed and I really don't have room inside my garage for the car long term. I refuse to park/store the vehicle outside, so I'll try to sell it once otherwise I'll rent a climate controlled storage unit. Anyone is welcome to come view the vehicle prior to the auction ending. If you have any questions please feel free email and or call me at 816.590.7660. Thank you, Chris |

Lincoln's $5B revival bid hinges upon new D6 chassis
Mon, 27 Oct 2014It's no secret that Lincoln has received short shrift from the Ford Motor Company for years, and former CEO Alan Mullay even wanted to kill the whole thing off when he ran things. Today, things appear to be trending in a different direction. Fresh investment has helped enable a sizable marketing push for its well-regarded MKC compact crossover, a couple of awards for the company and plant the seeds for a major expansion into China. While the situation is still in the early going, it looks like Lincoln is on a tentative (if long) path towards a turnaround. If new reports are accurate, the brand is poised to build on that momentum with its largest investment in new products in years thanks in large measure to a new modular platform codenamed D6.
According to four unnamed insiders speaking to Reuters, FoMoCo is investing over $5 billion over the next five years, partially to create a new modular platform to underpin multiple Lincoln vehicles - and possibly some Ford products, too. Development is reportedly being overseen by the division's new boss, Kumar Galhotra. At the moment, specific details about the D6 chassis aren't yet known, but it's rumored to have the flexibility to support front-, rear- and all-wheel drive vehicles. According to Reuters, the first model using the framework could be an MKZ replacement and seven-passenger MKT successor in 2019.
Until the D6-based models hit, expect to see continued expansion from Lincoln. Ford management isn't trying to turn around the division overnight and is planning "in terms of generations of products," according to current CEO Mark Fields. The strategy unsurprisingly includes a production version of Lincoln's recent MKX Concept, as well as an all-new Navigator using aluminum-intensive architecture. Reuters also claims the MKS is due for renewal in the meantime, including with a longer-wheelbase version to appeal to the brand's new Chinese buyers.
Lincoln and MKZ propose brand reinvention
Mon, 03 Dec 2012Lincoln made a rather assertive statement about the future of its products at the 2012 LA Auto Show. Rather than put any new vehicle on display for the first press day, the American premium brand placed a collection of classic cars from its past on the show floor. For the second day, that assortment was replaced with more than a half-dozen examples of the all-new 2013 MKZ. Following that, Lincoln teased a new ad campaign that was in the works, and it appears we now have the first extended promotional video.
Entitled "The Lincoln Motor Company," the spot acts as more of a mission statement, rather than an ad, featuring (once again) cars from Lincoln's past, as well as certain bits of Americana usually reserved for a Levi's ad. The video concluded with Lincoln reintroducing itself to the world, accompanied by a new name: The Lincoln Motor Company.
The video is likely to be the first of many in a large advertising blitz by the automaker, in concert with the rolling-out of the new MKZ. The sedan was the only new vehicle featured in the video, and Lincoln is betting heavily on this "reinvention" to bring customers in to see its new sedan. We want to know what's next. Scroll down to watch the video.
Lincoln poised to double MKZ Hybrid production
Thu, 18 Jul 2013The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has been something of a hit for Ford since the beginning, exceeding the company's modest projected 15-percent take rate for more than two years (we say "modest" because that still means an overwhelming majority of Lincoln customers are passing up on the gas-electric powertrain even though it costs the same as the standard model). Either way, Lincoln builds 700 MKZ Hybrids at its plant in Mexico each month, but has sold 715 of them in each of the past three months. That's why, according to a report in The Detroit News, when the restyled 2014 MKZ Hybrid arrives (non-hybrid pictured), Ford is doubling production compared to 2013. Instead of the hybrid model being 20 percent of production, the new hybrid will make up 40 percent.
Ford is doing well with hybrids in general - its portion of the electrified vehicle segment jumping 12 points in a single year to 16 percent. Assuming Ford doesn't change the pricing strategy (along with the changes Ford is making to calibration to improve fuel economy), the sedan could continue to "[show] other luxury hybrids how it's done" when it goes on sale later this year.
