Lincoln Mark Series (1995)
for sale

Price: US $2,000.00

Description:

For sale is my 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII. Lincoln produced the Mark VIII from ’93 – ’98, as one of the last domestic luxury sport coupes of its kind. The car features the 290HP all-aluminum dual overhead cam 32 valve V8 that was in the Cobra Mustangs starting in ’96. You can no longer buy a solid American luxury sports car such as this. Set on top of a solid frame, wrapped in a beautiful Ivory Pearlescent paint and matching full leather interior, with wood console inserts. I purchased the car from its second owner, an older gentleman (family friend) who used the car around town and for short out of town trips. He bought the car when it was a year old with 10, 000 miles on it. He took the car to the dealer every 3 months and did whatever they told him to do (all records are still with the vehicle).
I have owned the vehicle for just about 10 years (from 88, 500 to the 149, 000). The car has always been garaged and treated like a queen and has been our favorite car. It has been our weekend/out of town car, not subjected to daily commuting. My wife and I took it to Missouri last year through Utah, Colorado, ect. The car floats on the highway, and achieves 30mpg if you keep your foot out of passing gear. The car will scoot you forward calmly and effortlessly, or will fly through the gears and bark into second if you wish. I could write a novel about how much my wife and I have enjoyed the car, but I will save you from that. The car is nothing short of a maintained time capsule with tasteful modifications. The car has always been maintained properly, all fluids flushed/ changed as needed. This is the nicest Mark VIII you will find for the price, needs NOTHING, records included, all service is up to date, buy it now and drive it across the country tomorrow without hesitation.
Body – 8.5/10. The car does have a few dings and bumps, but overall is in excellent shape for its age. It has always been garaged, kept clean, waxed/clay barred, and maintains its original clear coat shine. It boasts a PERFECT rear trunk key cover, grille, eyebrow, headlights, and turn signals (all were replaced when I purchased the car to keep it looking young). The chrome trim around the car has also been updated. Car has aftermarket HID headlights, and a brand new front license plate holder in matching color. Keyless entry and factory anti-theft all work accordingly.
Interior – 9/10. The interior is nearly flawless, apart from slight age that cannot be helped. The backseat has barely been used; dash/interior has no major blemishes or problems. The car has not been eaten in or abused, and is a pleasure to sit in. AC is ice cold, heater is hot. Steering wheel is PERFECT under the cover. Sunroof functions as it should. Spare tire, ect all present and accounted for, along with owner’s manual, and trunk cargo net.
Radio: 10/10. Radio system is original to the car; CD changer in the trunk has been hollowed out and is no longer hooked up, but maintains appearances. The ‘CD’ button on the head unit is now connected to an IPOD adapter to play directly through the system as if it is the CD changer. It also charges the IPOD while plugged in.
Suspension – 10/10. I went through and completely rebuilt the suspension at approximately 110, 000 miles, including the air suspension. All new bags, custom spider compressor from American air suspension (has water drain port, manual fill valve if needed, and air pressure gauge), all ball joints, tie rods, bushings, wheel bearings, ect were replaced at this time. Car still drives nice, tight, as it should.
Brakes – 10/10. Brakes are new on the car. Factory rubber lines were replaced with stainless steel braided lines and cobra front brake calipers. Car stops on a dime.
Engine – 10/10. Engine runs like a top. All hoses (yes even the two heater hoses), have been replaced, oil filter adapter gasket, plugs, wires, IAC, TPS, EGR tube, o2 sensors, idler pullies, radiator, coolant reservoir, thermostat, coils, have all been serviced. The car is polite and does not mark its territory (no leaks!), and idles like a kitten or screams like a tiger (whichever you please). Car uses NO oil in between changes. Car has a BOC (blue oval chip) chip in it, which improves performance, along with a dyno-tech driveshaft for smooth rolling. Car passes smog with flying colors (with the chip, or without)
Transmission – 10/10. Transmission shifts well, crisp, and clean. Transmission does have a J-MOD completed, along with updated accumulators and springs installed. I have no doubt it has plenty of life left in it.
Please contact me with any questions, or further information.
Car is located in Southern California. Shipping and/or pickup of the car will be the complete responsibility of the buyer, reasonable accommodations can be discussed. Garage storage of the vehicle prior to pickup can also be arranged.
