1969 Lincoln Continental MARK III Description

Beautiful 1969 MARK III in one of the most desirable color combos with only 76k original miles. ***Original 15"wheels and wheel covers are available if the buyer prefers them.***
This car looks, runs and drives great! It gets a lot of attention. It is laser straight and rock solid. The only area that has rust is the lower edge of the deck lid (see pics and video). Of which I have been quoted $900 for that repair.
I purchased it in 2016 from the 2nd owner. The sides had been repainted very nicely some time ago. The previous owner told me that was do to it having been keyed. There is no evidence of rust repairs. So I believe that to be true. All the original sheet metal is in tact. Body lines and gaps are straight. It still retains the original canvas top and paint on the jams, hood and deck. The hood and deck still shine. But do have imperfections. The car is a very nice, driver quality classic. Take it anywhere proudly. But you're not going to win any shows with it.
Since I've owned it. New battery, cables, starter solenoid, 17" Cragars, gas gauge float, rebuilt Autolite carb, mufflers and tail pipes. It is a very dependable driver! All 4 power windows work. Both power seats work. Power antenna works. Radio only works on AM. A/C is original R-12 and blows warm. But compressor spins. Will probably need an R134 conversion. Also, the original paint on the cowl panel was cracking and flaking. So I just had it stripped and powder coated satin black the week before listing it. I like the look. If you don't. That can easily be removed and address with the trunk repair.
So.. why am I selling this car? I have too many cars. I've lost my winter storage garage and need the space. I don't want to have a car under a cover in my driveway over the winter months. Plus I have a 71 Mark III custom convertible. So even though I really like this car. I don't need 2 Mark III's.
Please ask any questions you have and have funds available before making this purchase. Many more photos are available to serious buyers. All funds must clear before the vehicle and title are released. I would like to speak to any potential buyer prior to ending the listing. Just to make sure we agree on all details of the sale. Buyer is responsible for shipping costs. But I am near major interstates and can help load if necessary. Please be patient with email response time. I will check eBay periodically during the day. But I am old school. A bit of a dinosaur with technology. LOL!
This vehicle is for sale locally. So the listing could end early. Thank you for viewing.
**** If you do not like the look of the Cragar mag wheels. I do have the original 15" steel wheels and Lincoln hub caps. I would be more flexible on offers with the original wheels on the car. But please keep in mind. There are Mark III's that some sellers are asking $35k-$45k for. While this car is Not a $35k-$45k car now. It's easily worth more than I'm asking for it. CHECK THE HAGERTY AND NADA VALUES. It's a great investment.****
If Your Offer is Automatically Rejected. Please Do Not Contact me with that same Offer. I have auto reject set for offers I feel cannot be negotiated from. I am not in a need to sell situation. I have my rock bottom price and will not waver. Thank you.
