Due to a change in lifestyle, limited space at my condo, lack of time, and a life threatening illness, I am forced to sell my 95 Lincoln Mark VIII.
I invested well over $20k in the car, including:
Legendary Cowl Hood
Custom Underhood coating and "lincoln star"
Custom Cameleon Paint Job in Standox's "Imola Ice" - imported from Germany
(Subtle Silver, to green, to cranberry, to steel gray- please visit www.standox.com for pictures of this color on a Mazeratti)
Jerry Chip
1-2 Tranny Upgrade
Rear Cobra Bilstein modification with new upper shock mounts
Modified Air Intake
Satin/Cobra Oil Cap
Cobra Wires
HID conversion
Acid Etched Vin numbers in all windows
Custom Tinted all windows with Johnson Window Film(same stuff they use in sky scrapers- looks identical to Lexus SUV tint)
Custom painted dash and door panels to match the car
Brand New 4.6L DOHC Teksid Mark VIII Long Block engine with ZERO miles(not yet installed)Kept in temperature controlled storage PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FACTOR, Aluminum Block and Heads, ENGINE- THEY DO NOT EXIST_ PERIOD- Original seals on the IMRCs and spark plugs FROM the FACTORY- Factory Valve Covers with original build date barcode/ THIS ENGINE IS INCLUDED WITH THE CAR AS A PACKAGE DEAL
Custom made 3 piece Arelli "Vetta" 18 inch chrome rims with Pirelli Pzero Rossa red letter
Pioneer Premier Head Unit
Brand new Compressor and Spider Valve ready for installation
Wolf Car Cover(may need to be modified for hood)
The car has all it's service down perfectly, and it recently has had:
New moon roof seal
New power seat glide
New front air struts
Brand New Battery
The car will also come with the original honeycomb rims with Yokohama all season tires(new)
This car has been absolutely babied, and you will not find a more beautiful black leather interior anywhere. The car has aproximately 126,000 original miles.
The engine currently in the vehicle is the original. It runs and purrs like a kitten, but there is a blown head gasket, so it will overheat(no t-stat currently installed to counteract this) -hence the new engine- a project I no longer have the time, patience, or energy for.
The car has ZERO other problems.
There are a few minor flaws of course:
The car comes with a thick layer of dust.. Paint underneath is PERFECT.
There is a crack across the front corner of the bumper- can be repaired(and I will provide the source for the extra paint)
There are some mars in the rear bumper that need slight paint.
There is a small slit in the vinyl on the drivers side door(easily repaired or covered up)
The rims have some minor scrapes and wear...some water spots(all fixable with a good polishing/tlc) The center caps, which are not chromed the same way, probably need to be replaced.
Other than that..the car is PERFECT.
Car took first in class and club's best paint at the All Ford Nationals a few years back..
Hopefully someone else can take over and make my dreams for this car a reality.
Before Hood under shop lights:
A tad dusty as she sits in my garage:

Please note the paint job cost me $8000.
The rims and tires cost $4400.
I am basically seeking to recover my costs for these two items. You'll end up with a "free" babied Mark, a brand new engine, and countless other $$$ items.

He has come down a bit on the price, and he has another Mark VIII. White in color, needs tranny work (O/D does not work) that he would like to get rid of as well. If interested please email me or inbox me here.
