"STK 3994 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III
The 1971 Lincoln Mark III is a part of the Mark series which began in 1969. The Mark III was designed to combine elegance, comfort and performance, embodying the grandiose style of the early '70s. The fifth-generation Mark III has full side-rail frame construction providing substantial strength and integrity and this particular Mark III is a very rare car. The original coupe was converted into a convertible and it is handsome. There is really no way to document how many Mark III models were converted to ragtops, but the number is likely quite small. This beautiful '71 Mark III utilizes the classic long hood/short deck configuration that was prominent for this generation of luxury models. The factory Light Green (code H) paint color was reshot as a 2-stage finish in 2022 and is in excellent condition. Accents include a power-assisted black canvas soft top, an abundance of chrome/stainless, vacuum operated headlight covers and a faux 'continental' rear tire. Steel wheels mount 15"" white-wall radials and are accented by stunning factory wire-wheel covers. Inside, the elegant Dark Green leather/vinyl interior is in excellent condition. English oak accent trim is applied to the dash and door panels and the Mark III is equipped with climate-controlled air conditioning (needs TLC), 6-way/reclining power split-bench seat and power tinted windows. Other convenience features include power locks, tilt wheel, cruise and premium factory AM/FM sound system.
Horsepower is provided by a 460ci 385 Series V8 that is rated at 365hp/500ft-lb. It is said to never have been rebuilt and runs flawlessly. The 460 is backed by Ford's C-6 3-speed Select-Shift automatic that transfers torque to a RWD differential with factory gearing. The chassis is equipped with coil spring suspension, power steering and power disc/drum brakes (11.7""f/11""r) and Ford's SureTrack ABS system. The 1971 Continental Mark III was not a high volume model (approx. 27,000 built) and there are few classic examples on the market today and this stunning convertible model would be the rarest of them all. The Continental Mark III will look very stately in your garage. ALL VEHICLES SOLD ""AS IS"".
