Hello all,

I recently joined the site and I figured Id introduce myself. My name is Tony and Im new to the site but not to Lincolns. Ive been a Ford guy most of my life. Ive had a 92 Mark VII, an 88 and 94 Town Car, and a 93, 97, and now a 96 Mark VIII. Most of these cars werent in the best of shape with the exception of the Mark VIIIs. Ive had a fairly bad history with the Marks. My first Lincoln was the 93 Mark 8. It was white base with a beige interior and it only had 65k on it. I had it only 3 days before my drunk neighbor decided it looked better smashed and on my lawn after a night of drinking. I then purchased my black on black 97 Mark 8 LSC. That car was by far the nicest one I ever owned (and coincedentally the most expensive). The car was immaculate. It had 38k on it and I bought it from the original owner. A faulty automatic starter ended its life about 6 months after I got it. I then went through several various Lincolns, Fords and Gm products until very recently.

The AOD was dying on my Mark VII and since rust had been taking its toll on the car, I decided to go shopping for another Mark 8. I purchased a 96 Mark VIII base with 131k on the clock for $2800. Its black with a graphite interior. For the most part, the car is in pretty good shape and the interior is near perfect. The bags are in good working order as well as the running gear. Its going to need a little body repair seeing as it looks to have spent quite a bit of time in a crowded parking lot (many dings along the pass side and some scuffs on the bumpers).

Ive always been partial to the Lincoln Mark VIIIs. I rode in my first one at age 17 and Ive been hooked since. My boss had a mint Pearl white (I think thats the color) 98 LSC and a week after first riding in his I bought my 93. I hope to gain a lot of inspiration from this site for my new project. Right now, I plan on doing the JMOD, adding a trans cooler, a CAI, a LMS chip, and a full exhaust.

Thanks for reading,

Tony

i just joined to

i have a 94 green/tan interior paid 2,000 for her and it was a hell of a deal its my3rd green one but my 5th mark viii in 3 years.

the trans recently started acting up so i might part with another mark .

if you know anyone interested any help would be appreciated.

also theres a few junkyard out by me that have quite a few that arent gutted yet so if you wanna make the drive for some parts i'll point you in the right direction.
 
Where are you located exactly? If you know of some of the junkyards, let me know. Id be willing to take a drive if its worth it.
