1969 Lincoln Mark Iii Base 7.5l on 2040-cars
Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale is a rare, 1969 Lincoln Contential Mark III. This car was built in April of 1968 as a 1969 model. Quite expensive back then as they were the choice for wealthly businessmen, actors and performers like Johny Cash. This car was painted back to the originial color a few years ago. Paint still looks good. The vinial top was replaced with the corect pattern and still looks good. The interior fron seats are on good contition with no tears or rips. The rear seat does have about an eight inch leather piece that has cracked due to the heat. Carpet and headliner are in good condition. All glass is fine and have marks on them. The engine starts, runs and drives fine. The fuel tank is off the car. It will need to be cleaned, and a new sending unit will need to be installed. Ebay sells these. The alt may not be hooked up corrected as it was rebuilt. It seems that the alt does not charge the battery as it should. Just recheck connection. The AC has been converted to R134 and did blow cold. The headlight doors stay open, but once car is running, can be closed by hand and the doors will stay closed. Chrome and moulding are good. The lens could be improved up and are readly available. This car would make a good father son project that will need a little TLC but shouldn't brake the bank. These cars made good drivers and will go up in value in the years to come. The car currently runs on a gas jug located in the trunk. I tried to describle the car as fair as posible. |

Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Launching an all-new car is no easy task. Case in point is the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, introduced with the fanfare of a major nationwide marketing campaign, including expensive Super Bowl ads, just as Ford was curbing production over potential quality issues. The resulting mess was nothing short of a nightmare for any automaker - customers visiting dealerships looking for cars that hadn't been delivered yet. Disappointed buyers walked out of Lincoln retailers without new keys in their hands, or switched to a competing brand to fill empty spaces in their driveways.
The impact was painful, as Lincoln's sales in January and February of this year were among the lowest it has recorded in more than a quarter century. Even though March looked a bit brighter, with the supply crisis reportedly over (there are 3,000 units in transit and production is approaching 200 units per day) the automaker is reportedly studying the feasibility of giving its pivotal MKZ the launch it originally deserved.
According to TheDetroitBureau.com, putting the MKZ back on consumer's radar could cost Ford tens of millions of dollars, but that kind of investment may be warranted if potential buyers have forgotten about the new model... or worse, if they have forgotten about Lincoln.

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.
