Lincoln's Continental Mark III started its adventure in the automotive space with modest sales. The parent company sold only 7,700 units in 1968, but the numbers increased substantially a year later when the Continental surpassed 23,000 sold cars.
It was the second-best year for the Mark III, as only the 1971 model year scored bigger sales with 27K sold units.
The Continental Mark III was an expensive car, with a base price of $6,741. This made sense, considering it was supposed to be a luxury car, and collectors are still willing to pay big bucks for the right collectible.
Someone on eBay has recently posted a 1969 Mark III that ticks many boxes for a restoration candidate. It doesn't answer several big questions, but nobody can deny that the Continental looks great in the barn where it's been sleeping for several years.
The car is fitted with a 460ci engine rated at 365 horsepower, but eBay seller jusdoug-1567 did not reveal if this is the original engine and whether it has ever been rebuilt. The 460 was the only engine choice on the 1969 Continental Mark III, and it was based on the Ford 385.
The V8 under the hood starts, but it requires urgent attention and possibly a cleaned or a new tank.
While it's unclear how long the car has been sitting in that barn, it still comes without rust. The metal has somehow survived during this whole time, and the first thing the buyer must do is thoroughly clean the car and remove the barn dust.
All parts are still on the car, so the Mark III is complete. The interior looks good, but it's far from a tip-top shape, with the driver's seat requiring particular attention.
This 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III is a great car, but buyers should inspect it in person before committing to a purchase. The car has been sitting for God knows how long, and it's obviously not prepared for the road. However, if you plan a complete restoration, you'll need a new windshield and be prepared for the typical restoration work. All signs indicate that bringing this Mark III back to the road won't require much work, but you should be able to determine more info after you see it in person.
The car landed on Bay with a no-reserve auction, meaning that the highest bidder will take the car home. The only bid so far is $1,400, but the price will certainly go up as more people spot the car. It's parked in Fayette, Ohio, and you'll need transportation if you win the battle. The digital fight will end in six days, and a $300 deposit is required.
