1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III Luxury Sport Coupe
Offered for sale is this exceptionally nice 1969 Lincoln. The Continental Mark III 2 door hardtop Luxury Coupe was the top model for 1969. It would be very, very hard to find one in this remarkable, all original and unrestored condition, especially with only 39,800 miles on the odometer - certainly believed to be original, based on the excellent condition of the car. The car is laser straight and there is no evidence of any body damage or any repairs. The original paint looks absolutely fantastic and shines almost like new. The bumpers, chrome, stainless trim, etc. are in just excellent condition. The front grille and massive chrome surround are just magnificent! The windshield and glass are in excellent condition, as well as the vinyl top. The tires are new. The car is gorgeously appointed with the original top of the line leather interior - seats, headliner, door panels, dash, etc., etc. are in remarkable condition. The car has AC and power everything of course and everything works just as it should. It has huge and powerful 460 CU engine and automatic transmission. The car starts, runs and drives perfectly and is a absolute pleasure to operate. It's luxury at its best.
This gorgeous Continental is not entirely perfect - but darn close to it - as it is an older automobile, due to (negligible) typical/normal usage (all original condition), but it will make a perfect addition to any collection, not to mention an excellent driver or cruiser that you will be quite proud to bring to any car show. Just be ready to handle all the people who will be complementing you on how nice the car is!
This is your chance to own a legendary automobile which has some of the best styling ever designed. I am not selling it cheaply and I am not going to "give" it away, so this is probably not the car for tire kickers, lookiloos and time wasters. It is attractively and reasonably offered at a price lower than the $26K book value (2013 Classic cars Pricing Guide) and with a similarly reasonable reserve. The gorgeous automobile will be a very intelligent buy for anyone, especially collectors.
You are welcome to come and inspect the car in person. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. A $520 non-refundable deposit is due immediately upon the end of the auction payable by PayPal, with the remaining balance due within 48 hours after the end of the auction, payable by Bank Wire only. The car is sold as-is, sale is final with no return or refund. The Buyer is responsible for all transport and pick up arrangements and associated costs. The car must be picked up within seven to ten days after the end of the auction. More time may be made available if necessary depending on the buyer's needs such as exporting.
Thank you for looking!

Woman keying luxury car caught on tape
Thu, Nov 12 2015Toronto police are on the hunt for a disguised woman who was caught on camera Sunday keying a car. The woman sported a red bandana over her face and baseball cap as she ran up to the Lincoln MKS in a driveway, the Toronto Star reported. She then went to town with a sharp object, gleefully scratching the car's paint job. She runs off after nearly a minute of enthusiastic damage. Police believe the victim and the vandal know each other, since the Lincoln is the only car in the neighborhood she hit. This is also the third time this particular car has been damaged. They suspect this woman is responsible for the previous incidents. Toronto police told the Star that it will likely cost Lincoln owner thousands to have his car repaired. Security cameras are great for catching vandals in the act, though the videos are difficult for any car enthusiast to watch. Take for instance this video from London in April of a man scratching an Aston Martin while pushing a baby stroller. News Source: The Toronto Star Lincoln Videos vandalism scratch
Five cursed and haunted cars
Fri, Oct 31 2014Any kid lucky enough to grow up in Detroit is familiar with the Henry Ford Museum. It's huge, full of shiny things and a great place to take a child and let them burn off some energy. After several field trips and weekend outings however, the dusty concept vehicles and famous aircraft tend to lose their punch for youngsters. As a fifth grader, I was already gazing on the museum's many gems with glassy eyes. On yet another school trip, we made our way to John F. Kennedy's death car, a gleaming black Lincoln limo. The aging volunteer docent told our little group something I had never heard before. "You know, this car is haunted. Several employees have reported seeing a gray presence right here," he said, pointing to the back passenger side seat. I perked up. Now here was something I had never heard before. A haunted car? Sure, it happened in Goosebumps, but this was real life. It made sense, in a way. Cars can be violent, emotional places. That's certainly the case with JFK's limo, as well as the other four cars on this list. And maybe those gut-wrenching deaths can permanently doom a car. 5. Archduke Franz Ferdinand's Graf & Stift Death Limo World War I tends to be a forgotten war, despite being pretty terrible in its own right and setting the stage for the entire 20th Century. The French forces, for instance, lost more lives in the first month of WWI than the US did in the entire Civil War. Everyone who has been through a freshman world history course knows the conflict started when Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were shot by a Bosnian anarchist. The crazy thing is, Ferdinand had already avoided an attempt on his life that day, and was actually on his way to the hospital to comfort those who had been injured in the crossfire. One of the would-be assassins simply walked out of a cafe and saw his intended target sitting in front of him where the open-air limo had stalled. The archduke and his wife were shot through their heads and throats. Their deaths would not be the last caused by the limo. Throughout the war and into the 1920s, the limo was owned by fifteen different people and involved in six accidents and thirteen deaths, not counting the 17 million or so killed in the war triggered by the Archduke's assassination. The first person to own the car after the Archduke was an Austrian general named Potiorek, who went insane while riding in the car through Vienna.
