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!

Ford CEO Jim Hackett reviewing the future of technology, Lincoln, overseas markets
Mon, Jul 31 2017By Paul Lienert and Joseph White Ford Chief Executive Jim Hackett is reviewing the automaker's operations in India and other markets, as well as Ford's future product programs including plans to build a self-driving commercial vehicle in 2021. Hackett, who took over as CEO in May, has told investors he is working on a 100-day review of Ford's operations but has so far provided few details of the process, except to indicate that it is looking at the automakers' luxury vehicle strategy, the future of its small vehicles and investments in emerging markets. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told Reuters in an interview that the review covers a range of issues, including Ford's strategy for India. "We have a lot of work to do (as) we address issues of how to fix India," Shanks said. "Everything is on the table." General Motors in May said it would stop selling cars in India but continue to produce vehicles there for export. Shanks said no decisions have been made and noted that Ford has a larger business in India than GM did. "We are very cognizant that will be the third-largest market in the world," he said. "Some big decisions will be made," Shanks said, but he cautioned Ford may not disclose all those decisions at the end of the 100-day review. Hackett is addressing challenges that have contributed to a nearly 8 percent decline in Ford's share price this year. The review of the Lincoln luxury brand includes whether current plans will meet former CEO Mark Fields' ambitious targets for growth and revenue, people familiar with the process said. Ford has set a target of putting a self-driving shuttle into commercial ride-sharing fleets by 2021. Hackett is reviewing the investment and timing for that project, the sources said. Hackett also assessing whether to reduce and consolidate production of models such as the Fiesta subcompact and two midsized sedans that are built in multiple locations around the world, but are experiencing slowing demand. One proposal would shift production of the next-generation Mondeo midsized sedan from Europe to Mexico, where it would share an assembly line with its sibling, the Ford Fusion, avoiding the cost of retooling two plants. Shortly after he took charge, Hackett approved a proposal to shift production of the next-generation Focus for North America from Mexico to China, saving the company an estimated $500 million by consolidating two factories into one.
2017-19 Ford Super Duty trucks recalled for tailgates that could open
Fri, Dec 6 2019Ford announced two separate recalls today, though neither has resulted in any known injuries. The first recall, which deals with a tailgate malfunction, affects 261,617 examples of 2017-2019 F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty pickups. The second, which anticipates the possibility of a fuel leak, affects 3,893 units of 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator SUVs with 3.0-liter engines. Ford says tailgates might accidentally open on some 2017-2019 Super Duty trucks because of a short circuit. If the pickups have an electric tailgate latch-release switch on the tailgate handle, water might get into the wiring. If the water hits the right spots, a short circuit could cause the switch to release the tailgate latch. In a worst-case scenario where the tailgate opens while driving, contents of the truck's bed could fall out and create a safety hazard. Dealerships will fix the problem by modifying the tailgate frame wiring harnesses with jumper pigtails and install a new tailgate handle release switch. Of the lot, 231,664 trucks are in the U.S., and 29,953 are in Canada. The Ford recall number is 19S48. The second recall is much smaller, involving fewer than 4,000 vehicles. In certain 2020 Explorers and Aviators with 3.0-liter engines, Ford says, "The convolute protective sleeve on the liquid fuel line is not long enough, which may allow for potential hard contact with the convolute-protected vapor fuel line. Over time, with vibration and engine roll, hard contact between the two fuel lines could cause the convolute on the vapor fuel line to rub through the plastic liquid fuel line." If that happens, it could be a fire risk and hazardous for drivers and passengers. Only 35 of those SUVs are in Canada, and the rest are in the United States. Dealers will fix the problem by replacing the defective convolute with a full-length piece and tying it down with a strap. The recall reference number for the Aviators and Explorers is 19S49. The recall adds to what has otherwise been a rocky early production phase for the new Explorers and Aviators.
Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
