Beautiful, great running and driving, near rust free (very minor on rear external fenders only), accident free, desert Southwest, tastefully modded/rodded (easily reversible), 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III coupe. This is a very straight last-year (1968-1971) Mark III with rock-solid bones and some electrical/cosmetic issues. None of them affect its ability to be driven and enjoyed today. And 1971 was the last model year before major pollution control/engine strangulation occurred in 1972 domestic cars so the 460 V8 still puts out 365 horsepower in stock form (probably more now with its minor upgrades).
The exterior is in very solid, original condition. Paint is faded but there are no signs of accident repair anywhere. Formerly dry and brittle (a curse of our dry climate) vinyl top has been removed and roof has been repainted black. It looks pretty good actually. All trim is in place and in good shape other than a missing hood ornament. Very minor rust is confined to a small portion of rear external (internal fenders are great) fenders only (see pics). Undercarriage is in excellent shape (see pics). Only external modification is 17 inch American Racing wheels all around. I think they look impressive. The interior is the roughest part of this otherwise sweet Lincoln. The sun has made the leather brittle and cracked (see pics). The dash cover has suffered the same fate (see pics). Door panels still look pretty good. Headliner has been removed. Front carpet is still decent but rear carpet has been removed, It's in the trunk and can be used as a pattern. Seat belts and lower seat molding are also in trunk. They are in good shape and can be easily re-installed. All gauges work except clock and ALT gauge. Windows and power seats do not work. New front window regulators are included in the sale. Air conditioning works properly (thank goodness). Stereo has been removed by a prior owner but dash is uncut and unbutchered (see pics). Column shift is a little loose but works properly. Only non-stock interior item is wood-rimmed Grant steering wheel. Running gear is excellent and clearly a strength (along with the body). It has the 460 engine, C6 automatic transmission, and 9 inch rear differential. Body probably has 141k but I'm sure the engine has been rebuilt. Mods are confined to an Edelbrock air intake, Carter Competition Series carb and Flowmaster style dual exhaust. Battery is near new. Heater core has been bypassed and radiator has a pinhole leak. Front end has been rebuilt with new bushings and shocks. It drives solidly with no rattles or clunks. Vacuum headlights go up and down properly. Tires are cracking from the sun. Again, she runs and drives very nicely. My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have additional pictures that show every nook and cranny in detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. And this beautiful Lincoln is almost ready to enjoy today so you may want to consider flying in and driving home. That would be a cool adventure and I'd be happy to help facilitate it. This awesome 1971 Continental Mark III is located in the dry, desert community of Hurricane, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Good luck and good bidding. |

2019 BMW X7 vs luxury SUV rivals: Comparing specs and photos
Wed, Oct 17 2018Today we get our first-ever look at the first-ever 2019 BMW X7 crossover. We've actually already had our first-ever drive in an X7 Prototype. And so, we thought it appropriate to follow that up today with the first-ever X7 comparison of specs between BMW's first-ever three-row crossover with legitimate room for seven and its many high-dollar competitors. On paper, the 2019 X7 definitely seems to most closely align with the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. Their similar dimensions, interior space, engine choices and price would certainly imply where BMW placed the target when developing X7. We used those same elements to determine three-row vehicles likely to be cross-shopped or that should be cross-shopped. These include the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC90 and Lincoln Navigator. Yes, the latter is a truck-based SUV as opposed to a crossover, but tell that to all the people lining out the door at the local Lincoln emporium. They do not care, and neither shall we. We also included the 2019 BMW X5, which was completely redesigned for this year and therefore not the first-ever. That makes it less appealing? Either way, lining the new X5 up with the SUV that leapfrogs it atop BMW's SUV hierarchy should provide a good idea of just how much more you get by going up a model number. Engines and model lineup Again, the X7 aligns closest with the GLS, offering a base six-cylinder in its xDrive40i model and an upgrade turbo V8 in the xDrive50i. The Mercedes engines have greater output, but the GLS still accelerates slower than the BMW. As the 2019 X5 offers the exact same engines, we would also expect the X7's fuel economy to be superior to the GLS once its estimates are announced. It should be noted, though, that the GLS offers a high-powered AMG model whereas we anticipate the X7 to offer a plug-in hybrid model comparable to the X5 upcoming xDrive45e model. The other luxury SUVs diverge in their engine choices and model lineup. The Audi Q7 offers a base turbocharged four-cylinder, as does the Volvo XC90 in its T5 model, which we left out of the above chart entirely for space reasons. That the Q7 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 gets the same fuel economy estimates as the four-cylinder is proof positive that engine is purely around for its lower base price.
Dan Neil pokes fun at the celeb cars of 2014
Sun, Dec 28 2014Look, we try really hard not to pay any attention to the Kardashians and their vapid reality TV empire. But, as troubling as that brood may be, occasionally we're impressed and/or horrified by their four-wheeled conveyances. In fact, that curiosity extends beyond talentless reality stars with rotund glutes to celebs in general. That's why we're enjoying Dan Neil's sometimes biting take on the celebrity cars of 2014. Besides paying tribute to Kim K, husband Kanye West and the adorable Lamborghini that their spawn rides about in, Neil also takes a look at LeBron James' turn as a Kia spokesman and boxer Floyd Mayweather's trio of Bugatti Veyrons. Matthew McConaughey is a focus of Neil's as well, thanks to his oft-panned advertisements for Lincoln (and the raucous parodies they inspired), before finishing on the high, with Jerry Seinfeld and his new Porsche 918 Spyder. Take a look at Neil's recap of the celebrity cars of 2014. News Source: The Wall Street Journal Celebrities Humor Bugatti Kia Lamborghini Lincoln Porsche Videos porsche 918 spyder celebrity dan neil
