This 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III was delivered new to Alberta, Canada, and it was registered there when its current owner acquired the car from a friend in 2001. Powered by a 460ci V8 rated at 365 horsepower, the car is finished in Dark Gray Metallic over a Dark Red interior, and it has a black vinyl roof, a C6 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, 15″ steel wheels with covers, and auto-dimming headlights. Its cabin has power-adjustable front seats, a push-button AM radio, an eight-track player, and automatic temperature control. This Mark III shows 83k miles, and it is offered by the seller at no reserve with a Deluxe Marti Report, manufacturer’s literature, an owner card, service records, and a clean Texas title in the owner’s name.
The body was finished at the factory in Dark Gray Metallic (Z), which is accented by a black vinyl roof, red pinstripes, and a bright grille, rocker panels, bumpers, window surrounds, and wheel arches. Other features include a retractable antenna, a faux spare-tire rear decklid hump, and auto-dimming headlights, which are controlled by a sensor on the left side of the windshield cowl. Flaws around the vehicle are pictured in close-up photos shown in the gallery below.
Power steering was standard equipment, as were vacuum-assisted front disc brakes. The 15″ steel wheels wear wire-style covers, and they are mounted with 235/75 Firestone tires.
The cabin features Dark Red leather and vinyl, six-way power-adjustable front seats, woodgrain trim, an overhead warning-light system, an AM radio, an eight-track player, and automatic temperature control. The right-front power window is not working, and a button cover is missing on the rear bench.
The steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column, and it fronts a quintet of rectangular housings for instrumentation, controls, and a Cartier electric clock. The five-digit odometer shows 83k miles, ~1,500 of which were added under current ownership.
The 460ci V8 was equipped at the factory with a four-barrel carburetor, and it was rated when new at 365 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a C6 three-speed Select-Shift automatic transmission and a 2.80:1 rear axle.
