Vehicle Description
Classic Car Addict is proud to present this 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. Introduced in April 1968 as a 1969 model, the Mark III was Lincoln's entry into the growing personal luxury coupe market, competing directly with the Cadillac Eldorado. Developed under the leadership of Ford executive Lee Iacocca, the Mark III became known for its long hood, distinctive upright grille, concealed headlights, and Continental-style spare-tire hump. This example shows 39,898 miles, reported as actual, and is finished in Dark Ivy Green Metallic over a coordinated green leather interior. Powered by Lincoln's 460ci V8 and a C6 automatic transmission, this Mark III captures the unmistakable style and comfort of late-1960s American luxury. Exterior: The exterior is finished in Dark Ivy Green Metallic (Paint Code C), consistent with the original factory data plate. A coordinating olive-green vinyl roof features Lincoln emblems on the sail panels and complements the deep metallic paint. Signature Mark III styling includes a tall chrome grille, concealed quad headlights, chrome bumpers, bright window and wheel-opening trim, and the distinctive Continental-style spare-tire hump integrated into the trunk lid. Chrome door handles, a driver-side mirror, and prominent rear taillights complete the classic luxury appearance. Interior: Inside, the Mark III features a beautifully coordinated dark green leather interior with button-tufted seating, diamond-pattern detailing, individual front seats with fold-down armrests, and a matching rear bench. The door panels feature matching green upholstery, woodgrain accents, and chrome trim, while green carpeting and floor mats complete the cabin. A woodgrain-accented steering wheel sits ahead of the factory instrument panel with a 120-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 39,898 miles, reported as actual. Interior amenities include air conditioning, power windows, a factory-style radio, lap-style seat belts, and overhead controls for interior lighting and headlamp-related functions. The spacious rear passenger compartment offers matching leather upholstery and generous legroom. The trunk is finished in gray carpeting and includes a covered spare tire. Engine: Power comes from Lincoln's 460ci V8 equipped with a four-barrel carburetor. Factory rated at 365 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, the 460 delivered the strong low-end performance expected from Lincoln's flagship personal luxury coupe. The engine compartment retains a traditional appearance with a blue-painted 460-4V air cleaner, matching valve covers, and factory-style accessories. Transmission: Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ford C6 three-speed automatic transmission, paired with the big-block V8 for smooth acceleration and comfortable highway cruising. Wheels and Tires: The Lincoln rides on factory-style turbine wheel covers featuring Lincoln center emblems, paired with American Classic wide whitewall tires that complement its original luxury styling. Suspension: Built on a substantial body-on-frame platform with a 117.2-inch wheelbase, the Mark III features independent front suspension with coil springs and a solid rear axle supported by coil springs and locating links. The suspension was designed to provide the smooth, composed ride expected from a Lincoln luxury coupe. The rear suspension received upgrades, including newly installed shock absorbers and a rear sway bar to improve stability and handling. Additional features include power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes with rear drums, and a dual exhaust system with separate mufflers. The undercarriage retains much of its original-style appearance, with visible surface oxidation on various suspension and drivetrain components. Brakes: Stopping power is provided by power-assisted front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Steering: The Mark III is equipped with power steering, providing e |
