1970 Lincoln Mark III

37,500 Original miles, purchased from the original owner!

 

This is not a show car!! This is a really nice cruiser/driver!!

 

Car runs and drives great, cruises down the highway at 80 mph like a new car!

 

Mostly original paint, the sides appear to have been painted but it is a good job and matches the rest of the car very well. No evidence of  rust is visible. Could use a good buff/wax job.

All the glass is in excellent condition and the all of the power windows work.

The chrome is in nice driver condition with some pitting here and there. Overall pepper pitting on most everything.

The vinyl top is in good condition with a few small "crispy" areas around the back window.

The interior is all original leather, not ripped or worn but the seats are dry and hard. Could benefit from a good application of leather conditioner.

The dash and gauges are in beautiful condition and are in good working order

The 460 CID engine runs great with no issues. Factory rated 360 HP It has plenty of power and runs smooth with no noises. Its 10:50 to 1  compression so it needs good 93 octane gas

It has had new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points, starter, alternator, belts and hoses and NEW RH exhaust manifold recently installed.

All of the power accessories work, including the original AM FM radio.

NEEDS:

Tires are old, dry rotted  and should be replaced if the car is driven far.


Shocks are original and feel spongy - they need to be replaced if the car is to be seriously driven.


AC does not work, its all there and holds vacuum just needs a charge

The vacuum headlights sag when the car is not running but close as soon as it is started

The turn signal stalk is loose and the turn signal sometimes will randomly come on

 

This will make someone a nice cruiser for this summer!! Drive it home!!

 

Please ask any and all questions. Send e bay messages or call Marvin at 815 521 9566

 

The car is located about 45 mins South of Chicago.

 

Thank you for looking!!!

Lincoln MKC crossover headed for Detroit

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Fresh off the launch of the stylish new MKZ sedan, the newly named Lincoln Motor Company is reportedly preparing for a lineup expansion. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, the first new product joining the Lincoln brand is a small crossover based on the Ford Escape said to be called the MKC. We saw this machine testing a few months ago, and while we were hoping the name might be reserved for a future two-door model or even the diminutive Concept C hatchback, it looks like the "C" will stand for compact crossover instead.
The report also says that this crossover will be making its debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, so we'll have to wait until then to see what the new model looks like. Unlike the MKX, which is based off the Ford Edge, we would expect there to be a lot more differentiation between the MKC and the Escape like Ford managed to do with the newest Fusion and MKZ.
In addition to the new MKC, the article states new MKS and Navigator designs are expected to debut by 2014.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
