Motoexotica is pleased to introduceour newest 1971Lincoln Mark III. 1971 saw the Golden Anniversary for the Lincoln Mark, and the third and final year of Mark III production. Sales were better than ever, at 27091 almost equal to the Eldorado's, a harbinger for the new decade. Little changed from the 1970 model; tinted glass became standard, as did the automatic controlled air conditioning and Sure Trak Anti lock brakesas well as theHigh back seat, alsostandard. Horsepower remained unchanged at 365, but the 460CID V8 engine gained a more sophisticated thermostatic air cleaner assembly with its associated duct work. Intheir second annual "King of the Hill" contest (Motor Trend July 1971) again gave the Lincoln Mark III a nod by a wider margin than 1970 despite the Lincoln being basically a warmed over 1968 model, while the Cadillac was an all new model. M/T noted that the Mark III leather was much more luxurious and better detailed than the Eldorado's nylon cloth and the Continental's real wood dash trim was far more attractive than the Cadillac's simulate. Thisbrings us back to our Beautiful 1971 Mark III, recipient of a nice partial restoration onlya few years ago and hails from the Desert state of Arizona!Starting in the nicely appointed interior you'll notice the seats havebeencarefully recovered in a Black and White Tu tone scheme, with matching door panels. The panels are clean, andgive the interior a very finished appearance.All the gauges are easy to read, and thewood gauge surround looks great. The headliner is clean and not discolored or tattered. It is noted that the wipers are currently not working though, as well as the fuel gauge. The Jet Black exterior shows well with only a few small blemishes found on the doors and on the paint. The chrome trim is all there,it is nice and bright, as well as the bumpers. It boasts a beautiful undercarriage and it is in excellent shape. Finally, the attention must go to the HUGE 460CI engine that powers this big Lincoln. It is nestled neatly in the engine bay and mated to a smooth shifting Automatic transmission. Large diameter Sparkling wire wheels, wrapped in newer low profile tires gives this Lincoln a mean stance and really makes it hold true to the term "Hot Rod Lincoln"! ................GET OUT AND DRIVE The vin number is 1Y89a811936,the mileage is 75354 and it is being sold with a clear Arizona title.
