1970 Lincoln Mkiii - 570 Hp! on 2040-cars
Bulverde, Texas, United States
This car runs/drives fantastic! It will snap your neck if you get on the gas! I have a ton more pics at plus.google.com/u/0/photos/106533163191656663781/albums/6035246232177761409 if you're interested. Videos I took: youtube.com/watch?v=b3VG-IVbYjA&feature=youtu.be youtube.com/watch?v=zkeITVYRx-4&feature=youtu.be youtube.com/watch?v=lZnGsMXf3SE&feature=youtu.be youtube.com/watch?v=al0OgT6-OtI&feature=youtu.be youtube.com/watch?v=qyhRcWca1kU&feature=youtu.be I had intended on keeping this car, but I've taken up a new hobby so this baby has to go! I've priced this to sell - I could easily get $12K if I wanted to wait, lucky for you I don't. This price is not negotiable so don't contact me with any "offers". And if you click on "buy it now" and back out, you owe me $125, because that's what ebay will charge me for your mistake. 1. Engine was just overhauled by a reputable engine rebuilder and should last 250,000 miles +. I put a lot of high quality parts in that engine that will make it very reliable and POWERFUL! It's dyno'd at the crank at 570 hp and 630 ft lbs of torque! I have the dyno results to prove it. I also have receipts of $5K for the engine work with the detailed list of all the parts. 2. A/C blows ICE COLD air! I just paid $1,700 to have it completely converted to R134a - new condenser, lines, rotary compressor, drier, expansion valve. 3. Car tracks true and rides like it should. I've replaced pretty much every front end component, all four coil springs, shocks, steering box, steering coupler and tires to get it this way. 4. Both power seats function perfectly. 5. Radio and antenna work great. 6. Clock keeps perfect time! 7. Alternator/charging system works great 8. Radiator has been cleaned/rodded out. 9. Exhaust manifolds have no gaskets - so no more blown gaskets to replace. 10. Power windows work great. (not the two little windows) 11. Transmission, rear-end, brakes, all in great shape. That's the mechanical - on the body I got it in great shape. All I did was painstakingly get all the pieces necessary to put together four PERFECT hub caps! The car also comes with: 1. Brand new $80 car cover 2. Complete set of factory manuals to include wiring diagrams. 3. Original air cleaner 4. A box of pieces/parts from the original owner. Car is located in the San Antonio Texas area. I have contacts and can help arrange shipping, for US and overseas. I'm more than happy to have a PPI done at your expense if you wish. |

Bentley designer calls Lincoln Continental concept a Flying Spur 'copy' [w/poll]
Tue, Mar 31 2015When you first laid eyes on the new Lincoln Continental concept, we'd wager you were likely impressed, because it's an impressive design. But if you also thought it looked familiar, you're in good company. According to Car Design News, design chief Luc Donckerwolke over at Bentley thinks the Lincoln concept bears more than a passing resemblance to another Continental: Bentley's own Flying Spur. "This behavior is not respectable. Building a copy like this is giving a bad name to the car design world," Donckerwolke told CDN, after posting some disparaging comments on Facebook and offering in jest to send over the tooling. "It is very disappointing, especially for an exclusive brand like Lincoln," added Sangyup Lee, his deputy for exterior design. The irony is further entrenched by the name, which Bentley only dropped from its Flying Spur in its latest iteration but still uses for the coupe and convertible models. Both automakers have a deeply routed history with the nameplate, but Lincoln's stretches back further, having first used the handle in 1939 before Bentley did in 1952. However it's not the nameplate that's the subject of controversy here, rather the design of the vehicle to which it's applied. So what do you think, did Lincoln borrow too heavily from its British counterpart? Related Video:
Lincoln debuts MKC ads starring Matthew McConaughey
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Lincoln is making the decisive commitment that it wants to improve its brand perception going forward. It can't be cheap to hire A-list talent like Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey and director Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for Drive, for its new ad campaign for the 2015 MKC crossover, but the company is showing that it's serious about the new vehicle and its future. The first three of these five commercials are just hitting YouTube, and they begin airing on television on September 6.
The Live in Your Moment campaign is all about Lincoln trying to sell not just the MKC to customers but also explain the brand's philosophy. It's one of the oldest luxury automakers around, but hasn't exactly had a glorious history, especially recently. Based on these first ads, we can see that there's a definite focus on philosophizing rather than focusing on the crossover. At times, McConaughey seems just a mustache and a mangled beer can away from reprising his role from True Detective.
The first ad (above) is simply titled Intro and sets the mood and concept for the whole campaign. Bull has McConaughey talking to a longhorn in the middle of a road, and I Just Like It has him explaining his affinity for the brand. Lincoln's full release is available below, and you can view the other ads by flipping through the playlist in the video player above.
Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...
