Very original low mileage, less than 39,000 miles, 1969 Lincoln Mark III. I bought this car about two months ago. From what I can tell the car really hasn't been on the road significantly since 1987. I have a Odometer Disclosure Statement from March 1987 showing the car had 38,376 miles then. The car when I purchased it did not run, barely rolled because the brakes were essentially locked up and was covered in years of dust from storage in a garage. I have since added a new battery, replaced the points and condenser with a Pertronix electronic unit with Flamethrower coil and distributor cap. I replaced the oil and filter and replaced all the coolant fluids. The transmission pan was dropped and the filter on the C6 automatic replaced. All new transmission fluid has been replaced.
The old gas tank still had varnished gas in it. I dropped the tank, flushed it out and replaced the float and fuel sending unit. Fuel line was also replaced. The remaining hard lines were blown out to insure no blockages.
The rear brakes were rebuilt with new wheel cylinders.
The front brakes were rebuilt with new calipers, turned rotors, rubber brakes lines and rebuilt master cylinder.
The brakes are fine, but still need some adjusting and bleeding.
I have had the car running and yard driven it, but there are still some timing and vacuum issues.
The car really looks good from 20 feet away, but it has it's share of knicks and dings. The white vinyl top is discolored. It is starting to lift along the rear and there is some surface rust where it has lifted. The only real rust out is in the rear bumperettes. There is a small bubbled area along the wheel arch on the rear driver's quarter.
The interior is in great shape. The front seat does have some rips in the leather. The rear seats are great. The dash pad is not cracked. The power seats are working. The power windows seem to work when they want. The drivers side window motor is operating but the window is off track. The trunk is amazing with the original trunk mat, jack and original spare tire.
The car should not be driven it will need to be trailered. The old tires don't look bad and hold air, but they are kind of dry rotted. The car is sold as it no warranty. No reserve auction with a very low opening bid that is basically what I have in the car.
All the air conditioning components are in place, except the compressor belt so I don't know if it works or not.

One more Lincoln MKX concept teaser drops before Beijing
Fri, 18 Apr 2014If the teaser video for Lincoln's launch of a new concept at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show wasn't enough for you, the company has now released a shadowy new image on its Twitter page. The vehicle may be a concept for the next-generation MKX, and its launch in China is part of the huge rollout to sell the brand's models there.
The latest photo shows off the concept's lighting, including LED running lights and lit sideview mirrors. The sharp edges of the lights give some hints to its shape. However, Other than clearly being a crossover, not much else is known.
The concept's launch supports Lincoln breaking into the Chinese market. It will begin selling the MKZ and MKC there this fall, as well as a midsize luxury SUV. A fullsize luxury sedan and the Navigator will come later. The company will also build luxury showrooms for the models that will look more like high-end hotel lobbies than car dealers. Scroll down to watch the teaser video.
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.
Lincoln reveals MKC compact crossover ahead of LA debut [w/video]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It used to be that if you wanted a luxury SUV, you had to go big. Just look at the first high-riders released by some of the major luxury automakers - Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX - and you'll see what we mean. But since 2009 the small premium crossover segment has grown a whopping 200 percent, so it's no surprise that each has followed up with smaller luxury crossovers. And this is the latest.
At the other end of the utility spectrum from the Navigator, the new Lincoln MKC is based on the Ford Escape (much as the old pseudo-premium Mercury Mariner was), but completely rebodied and luxed up to put it in another league. Although we're still not sold on Lincoln's family fascia, the grille treatment on the MKC is certainly one of the better variations on the theme to date. The Dart-like rear lights dominate the wrap-around tailgate, and the overall shape looks taut and upscale. The same can be said of the dynamically-designed interior, taking the concept revealed in Detroit earlier this year to production fairly seamlessly.
Power will come from a choice of EcoBoost four-cylinder engines with turbocharging and direct injection: a 2.0-liter with 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, or a slightly punchier new 2.3-liter with 275 hp and 300 lb-ft. Lincoln didn't disclose what transmission they'll be mated to, but did note that the MKC carries the brand's "signature" push-button gear shifter. It comes standard in front drive, but buyers who upgrade to all-wheel drive (or tick the right box) will also benefit from a new adaptive suspension Lincoln calls Continuously Controlled Damping. Other features include an approach-detection system that lights the car up and projects a Lincoln "welcome mat" on the pavement when you get close to the car, and a "bread-crumbing" feature that lets you track where your vehicle has been.
