1970 Lincoln Mark Iii Exceptional Condition In/out And Ready To Drive Anywhere on 2040-cars
Shelbyville, Tennessee, United States

I am offering one of my four personal Lincoln Mark III's for sale. It is very difficult to chose which one to sell as I love each one of them for slightly different reasons which have nothing to do with condition, as each one is truly exceptional, but relates to my personal attachment to each. Being a car person my entire life, it becomes all too easy to collect up more than you have room to physically accommodate and so I find myself trying to cut back a sniff as I have recently accumulated a few vintage 4WD's. This particular Mark, which I refer to as "Roy", was originally owned by the Lincoln Dealer who ordered it new and kept it until his death when it then passed to his son. I searched the entire country, and I mean every single state, when I was buying these cars up and chose this one because of it's history and exceptional condition inside, outside, and mechanically. This car could easily be driven cross country and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere I had gas money to go as it needs nothing. If time had permitted I would have flown to Washington and driven him home as I find myself looking for reasons to drive anywhere in one and always wish for a few more miles before getting home. I have personally driven it over 5000 miles since owning and that includes both summer and winter driving. Every last option on this car functions factory new from the electric antenna to the hide-away headlights, which will stay closed indefinitely and that is rare. The Automatic Temperature Control knows exactly when to change from A/C to Heat and the optional Rear Window Defogger works perfectly. The Factory Cruise Control sets and holds the speed perfectly and the with the tilt wheel and 6 way power seats(driver and passenger), you can cruise down the road in extreme comfort. The steering is tight and responsive and the brakes stop perfectly so driving this baby is a dream. The only items that do not work are the two small rear quarter windows. As seen in the pictures, I have changed out the original 15 inch steel wheels and hubcaps for a slightly different look but will be including the original wheels/hubcaps with the sale. The trunk and engine compartment are both in the same exceptional condition as the entire car and the spare tire is brand new. The interior presents as nearly new and there are no rips or tears anywhere to be found. The rear seat has rarely seen a butt and every ash tray is virgin. The original Calvary Twill vinyl roof is just about perfect and like most of these with original roofs still in place, it adds a formal look that no other can compare. These Lincoln Mark III's were absolutely one of the finest cars ever engineered/built by any auto maker and owning/driving them is one of life's greatest pleasures in a car. While these beautiful cars came in a wide range of colors, it is very hard to find any color with more class than White with Black. Take a look at the many pictures and feel free to call david @ 931.639.3926 with any specific questions you may have. Fly in and Drive home. This car is represented honestly/accurately as it sits this moment but there is no warranty or guarantee expressed or implied.

Ford's Jim Farley hints at Lincoln sales rebound
Thu, 25 Apr 2013If you're a fan of Lincoln, get ready for "a really great story" come May 1. That's how Ford marketing boss Jim Farley, in a call with analysts, characterized the coming April sales report for the MKZ. At the moment, there are probably few things that the executive VP could want more than a happy ending for the ballyhooed sedan that has made people cry boo-hoo for the past six months.
The massive glass roof of the MKZ is trying to support a burden that would make Atlas tap out, and it hasn't shattered, but it has shown a few cracks. The car we called "a big step in the right direction," the embodiment of the reinvention of the brand and a test of Lincoln's commitment to a new rear-wheel drive offering was given an $8-million dollar Super Bowl ad spend earlier this year, then quality control issues during its assembly scuttled deliveries. Lincoln got over that and kept up the ad blitz, now it just wants the good work to take hold.
If Farley's not leading us on, April could be the month. He said the results (so far) show "the product is being very well-received," inventory is finally where it should be and the MKZ Hybrid is doing better than expected. It bears noting that Lincoln is offering some aggressive incentive programs at the moment, including 0.9-percent APR and $1,000 off for conquest buyers stepping out of competitors' vehicles.
Matthew McConaughey dusts off his Lincoln Lawyer jacket [w/videos]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Alright, alright, alright. Easygoing Texan Matthew McConaughey has enjoyed a career renaissance recently with critically acclaimed roles in Dallas Buyers Club and True Detective, and the actor has just signed a multi-year deal with Lincoln to become the luxury brand's spokesperson. The first ads starring McConaughey should hit televisions and the internet soon.
McConaughey's campaign has his pitching starting out with the company's pivotal new 2015 Lincoln MKC compact crossover. "Lincoln is an iconic, American brand and I like where they are heading with their transformation," he said in the announcement of the deal. The appears to be really throwing some money into these ads, too. Not only has it hired A-list talent in front of the camera, Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for Drive, is directing the spots.
Of course, this won't be McConaughey's first noteworthy ride in a Lincoln. Back in 2011, he starred in The Lincoln Lawyer, a legal thriller about at attorney would did business out of a 1980s Town Car. The MKC should certainly prove to be a much better driver than that.
Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
