1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III Hardtop Coupe

  • Chassis Number: 1Y89A861958
The Lincoln Continental Mark II was produced for only a short time, from 1956-1957. In April of 1968, Lincoln introduced the Continental Mark III. It was based on the existing four-door Thunderbird platform and fitted with every available option of the time. Power was from a new 365 horsepower, Ford 460 cubic-inch V8 that drove the 117.2-inch wheelbase. The car was priced at $6,865 making it the most expensive car in Ford's lineup.

The interior was elegant and comfortable, with twin comfort lounge front bench seat and dual center armrests. An optional 'Sure-Track Braking System' was introduced mid-year.

1971 was the final year for the Mark III.

This Mark III is an original car that has just 16,206 miles. The exteri0r is black with a black vinyl roof.

In 2009, this Mark III Coupe was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Hershey presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $20,000 - $30,000 and offered without reserve.
