1970 Lincoln MK III. 28,000 original miles! Gorgeous light pastel green with flawless dark green leather, 460/365 HP V8/automatic. One of 21,432 Mk IIIs delivered this year, and perhaps just a handful built to this exact specification. This unbelievably clean and rust-free Mk III has flawless paint, chrome and interior, and is equipped with all the usual power and convenience options associated with these personal luxury coupes; automated climate control, power windows, seats, locks, and factory AM/FM radio with power antenna, working Cartier clock, and as-new radial white wall tires. Introduced in April 1968 as an early 1969 model, the Continental Mark III is the direct spiritual successor to the limited production, ultra-luxurious Continental Mk II produced by the Continental division of Ford Motor Company between in 1956 and 1957. Intended to compete head-to-head with Cadillac's heavily redesigned Eldorado, Buicks Riviera and Oldsmobiles Toronado, the Mark III was both an outstanding image and sales success for the Lincoln brand. The Mark III was the first American car to be offered with Michelin radial tires as standard equipment, and one of the last to use genuine walnut for the interior trim. Motor Trend magazine named the Mark III Continental the King of the Hill in 1970, during its annual head-to-head comparison of large luxury cars. One pump of the accelerator and the slightest twist of the ignition key, and the legendary 460 V8 fires instantly, settling down to a nicely muted burble from the factory dual exhaust. Slip into gear with the slender column selector, and youre off with zero effort - and 365 super-smooth horse power at your command. The cabin is supremely comfortable and absolutely quiet. This was obviously a non-smoking car, even that new-car smell lingers as you settle in to the comfortable seats. Despite its size, this car handles great, with ultra-light steering and amazing ride quality provided by all-round coil spring suspension, full perimeter frame, and modern radial tires to smooth out irregularities in the road. This car tracks absolutely perfectly, needs absolutely nothing, and is a great vehicle with which to begin your collection - or add to it. A truly rare opportunity to acquire one of the last, true, American quality automobiles, and make yourself King of the Hill.
