    Just as an FYI, the wipers run off of the power steering unit. Also, that antifreeze leak in the front passenger area is probably the heater core. The little gizmo on the drivers side fender is the automatic headlight dimmer.

She said: Of course I did! I remember my grandpa everytime I sit behind the wheel...🥰

    For the first start-up and run of the engine, I would put 2 stroke fuel in there. A nice medium-rich mix of oil, say 75:1 part fuel/oil. Of course that may make it look like a ring problem, but after using a gallon through the motor, the top end [valve guides etc], you can then switch to regular petrol. It might stop the valves from sticking, and will reduce wear on a really dry engine. It takes a while for the oil to penetrate everywhere after sitting for years.

    Many of us restoration guys that look 4 shit that is not too far gone know it's not uncommon to find a car or truck whereas the previous owner repaired the motor to like new or it has a rebuilt in it. The cost of body work even today discourages ppl from fixing old dream boats. So when I suspect the latter a new or rebuilt or warned over engine I usually put a 50:1- 2 cycle mix down the bore and down the tank for the first 1,000 miles I will keep the secret sauce as I call in the fuel tank. It does help to heal weak or even newer stiff rings. Also can glaze the cyl bore some so it's best not to go over board. synthetic 2 cycle is a lot diff than the older real petroleum base 2cycle so watch your ass when adding it. 75:1 is not recommended for any engine. Even 50:1 in a 4 stroke is a bit strong but as stated it can free up rings in engines that are like new or rebuilt and have not been run in. I have purchased many vehicles with rebuilt motors in em that have never been run in. Its a good practice but like any good thing too much is a bad thing. Just ask me about my ice cream bars okay. Best thing anyone can do is pull the plugs and add in Transmission oil to the cylinders. Each and ever one of em. I am not afraid to dump trans oil all over inside the valves. It also frees stuck valves like a magic trick if ya let it sit over night in the cylinders and on the valve train. I have had stuff stuck fast dumped trans oil on it and in the morning it is like new again most times not every time but most.

    Great old car...I had a 70 Mark lll in 1991 in high school...paid $500 for it. Windows didn't roll down when it was hot out..didn't roll up when it was raining. So I just kept the windows in the back seat and put them back in the tracks when needed. A/C compressor was shot. The front cowel drains were clogged and thus rotted over time apparently and allowed rain water to drain under the dash as I was driving getting the girlfriend's (now wife's) feet wet ..lol The wipers are hydraulic...and run off of the p/s pump. The door locks are vacuum actuated. Cool thing I liked was the rear 1/4 windows slid back into the vinyl top. Mine was Dark Brown with same color top and Saddle Tan interior...she was a beauty...despite all the issues. Literally passed everything on the road, but a gas station. Still have the build sheet from under the seat. Wish I could find out where it's at these days if it's still on the road..sold it in 1994.

My old Buick I mentioned earlier was and so was the '59 Edsel I had back in the late '80's :) It wouldn't surprise me if it were only 28k. My Edsel only had 59k on it when I got it in 1987. Most older folks I knew back then had an everyday car for groceries, etc, then they had their Sunday goin' to church/Sunday driving car. I knew one couple back then that had a '77 Monte Carlo they drove to town once a week they sold when it was ten years old and I kick myself for not having bought it as it only had 11k miles on it and they sold it for $2,000

    Love the Mark III. Dad had a '71. According to my Ford book, your '69 460 was rated at 365 gross HP @ 4600 RPM with 500 lb. ft. of torque at 2800 RPM with 10.5:1 compression. The intake is super restrictive to get it low enough to fit under the hood. That engine really wakes up with a decent intake manifold. Those heads will flow a LOT of air.

    Nice rescue there. Warning: You have a crank-mounted steering pump. The crank-mounted pumps were very, very sensitive; if you run one without fluid for even as long as ten seconds, you tear the innards up...and those are ex-TREME-ly expensive to replace nowadays. Top off with Type F transmission fluid, the same stuff the transmission will require. It must have some fluid in there, considering the wipers were moving when you fired it up (they're hydraulically-powered, by the power-steering system), but it obviously needs more, considering the groaning the pump was making...assuming it isn't too late already. I'm not sure about that coolant spill underneath the cab area, but I heard you say it was coming from the floor. That tells me there is a hole in the floor that will need patching. It also tells me the heater core is blown out and needs replacing; that is the only thing that could cause a coolant spill like that in that particular spot. You'll very likely have to put in a lot to bring the suspension back up to speed. A lot of oddball rubber parts were employed down there, and they will all be deteriorated by now. You need to address that before putting the car on the road, even for test-drives; otherwise you could be exposed to what one Lincoln guru called "Lincoln's unscheduled foray into rear-wheel steering." Oh, and the doohickey on the fender behind the hood is an electric-eye pod for an auto-dimmer system. When engaged, the headlights will switch automatically from high beam to low beam as needed. That was not the most common of options back then, so that raises the car's overall resale value, especially if it still works. I saw it also had factory cruise control (the broken end on the turn-signal lever gave it away); another not-that-common option. Altogether, a good find! Keep the revival going! If you need tips, there is a forum that focuses on Lincoln restoration, including Mark IIIs. Actually, it really isn't that big; it's shorter than the '65 Suicide Continentals were, and those were not the largest cars on the road, either. And at only about 4,700 lbs, it's not that bad to push around; that's better than the 5,300 lbs. I have to push where my '66 is concerned.

    I have one of these also, almost looks exactly like yours, mine is very dark green, almost looks black until its in the sun, but mine is in about the same state as yours. The guy I bought it from only had it for about a year, he bought it for his young son who was terrified of it. These cars aren't like cars today, they are big and heavy, and don't stop the way cars do today. You actually have to know how to drive these. He was only the second owner, the original owner put glasspacks on, American Racing slotted rims, and lowered it so it really handles well, it doesn't roll like a battleship. I loved driving it on Saturdays, people would follow me, honk, wave, smile, give thumbs up, offer to buy it. It definitely gets a lot of attention
