JamesR Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Love the color! Mark III's have become a visual favorite of mine over the past ten years or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) It looks like an excellent car at a realistic price. And that hue of blue and white is unusual, I think, for Mark III's, based on the many ads I've seen of cars for sale. Mark III's were very expensive in their time, and beyond the reach of many new-car buyers. Now, time has made them affordable. Thanks for sharing this find.

58L-Y8 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Two in the same color combination appear in the same week! If you can live with more mileage but for less money, here's your Mark III; 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one posted in your referral appears to be a blue-green; the one posted here appears to be a light blue. Sometimes colors might be hard to discern in pictures, but I think they are different. At that time, Lincoln offered at least 20 paint colors. I agree that both are unusual for a Mark III, and they're both good looking cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Jake Moran Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Another nice find and I like the "1st" Mark III's but still prefer the 72-74's. I guess, if I was going to collect these I would go with one of each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
