You will need to fill out a DOT HS-7 form and a EPA 3520-1 form. Because it is over 25 years old the car does not require any inspection or emissions standards, just the forms.
This is a great car to drive. I have been driving it around for the past few months. Before that I had it parked in a dry and warm underground parking lot for several months. It had been driven before parking it. It starts up every time and and stops every time. I have not had any issue with it. It does well in city/start stop traffic and great on the highway.
It has 136000 km, or 85000 miles.
I bought it last year because I have always loved the older Lincoln Mark series, but I have too many vehicles and need to get rid of some.
Things that I have done to it:
Replaced ignition coil
New ignition control unit
Newer battery
Alternator belt
Problems:
Power steering hose leaks
Cabin blower motor does not work
Driver side window does not work
Paint chipping around bumpers
Small interior trim issues
Rust above some of the wheel wells, on front fenders, and around the sunroof (All pictured).
A small rust hole in the driver side foot well
Some surface rust on the undercarriage, no holes or weak spots.
Hole/missing exhaust piping
I have the maintenance records from the previous owners with the car. The interior is in really good shape. No cracks in the dashboard or rips in the seat. There are a few small issues with the trim around the door handles and the carpet. The car does not leak oil. the only leak is from the power steering hose. Power door locks and AC does not work. It has an electric fuel pump, but I am fairly certain that the original mechanical one still works. The chrome is in good condition, only needs a polish.
