Well after a lot of admiration over these cars I finally got one.
My name is Kevin I am a 20 year old US marine and a mechanic by trade, done my active duty time and now I am part of the reserves.
I bought a 1992 S10 two weeks ago to daily drive but it is too much of a project so I put it aside at my shop (my first very own business !
) to build into a speed machine (406 small block, muncie 4 speed, you know the typical v8 s10 right? ). So I was driving down main street in the town next over where all of a sudden, BAM! out of the corner of my eye I see a Lincoln Mark VIII (1994 model to be exact) and the body was in incredible shape. He only wanted $500!!!!!!!!!!! but there is a reason, needs new starter and front end work, but working at autozone part time while I am not running my business I said well I can definitely fit this in my schedule to get it on the road. Then I sighed and saw the miles , 247,xxx. Five minutes later I come back after a test drive, and my face had a huge smile sort of like this one > .
I talked him down to $450 and there wasnt even one spec of rust or rot on the entire car , I guess they just moved up to New England from NC , hence the awesome body. Oh it also has new brakes all around, new alternator, and brand spankin new tires.
Anyways thanks for the warm welcomes (I Hope!) and I hope to spend lots of time here.
