1971 saw the Golden Anniversary for the Lincoln marquee and the third and final year of Mark III production. Sales were better than ever, at 27,091 and was almost equal to the Eldorado's. As a true luxury car the Mark III was lavishly equipped. Everything was power: steering, brakes, windows, headlamps, and both front seats. The instrument panel and trim panels on the doors featured simulated wood accents in either English Oak or East-Indian Rosewood. Other options included leather interior, air conditioning, further power adjustments for the front seats, a variety of radios and 8-track tape players, tinted glass, power locks and all the rest. A limited slip differential could also be ordered, as could anti-lock brakes, called "Sure Trak". Cruise control was also an option. Finally, an automatic headlamp dimmer that dimmed the headlights for oncoming cars without driver intervention was available. Little changed from the 1970 model; tinted glass became standard, as did automatic climate-controlled air conditioning and Sure Trak anti-lock brakes. High-back seats became standard, and a rare special-order floor console was made available.MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present the handsome 1971 Lincoln Mark III you see pictured. Originally ordered in the Los Angeles, California district DSO, the car comes finished in its original color of Light Green which was accented with a white vinyl roof. The paint is in great condition and shows only minor rock chips to the front of the car, which is typical of a car that's been driven and loved its entire life. The original vinyl top is equally as nice with no bubbling underneath or tears to the vinyl. The front and rear chrome bumpers still have a great shine to them. There is a little bit of minor pitting to the mirrors. The doors shut tight and with ease and have good gaps all around them. All of the glass is in good condition with no chips or cracks to be found. This Lincoln has the stealthy hide-away headlights. The interior of the car is in equally great condition and finished in its original color pattern of dark green. Everything is original and functional. The seats are wrapped in a Dark Green cloth and vinyl combination and show no wear or tear to the seats. The carpet, door panels and headliner are also Dark Green and show no signs of wear or imperfection. The dashboard houses the original gauges, which look great. There is a crack on the edge of the dash in the center. This particular Mark III came with an AM radio and AC. Under the hood the 460 c.i. V8 runs as smoothly as the day it was built, delivering every bit of the 365 hp it always has through the C6 automatic transmission. Everything under the hood is stock. The car goes down the road smoothly, shifts perfectly and is a pleasure to drive. It is equipped with power steering & power brakes. The car sits upon a set of 15" wheels with Continental hubcaps that are wrapped in P225/75R15 tires. This is a fantastic Mark III that is in great running and driving condition. This car would be great a daily driver or a great first car! The VIN # is 1Y89A852120 and the mileage currently shows 68,777, which is believed to be original for the car. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
