The decklid could have been damaged and replaced with one from a salvage yard also.

I stripped all my emblems, waxing is now half the work!

Posted by: vr4

yes mine is an LSC.

its possible the decklid was replaced. i highly doubt it though.

If its a LSC it should have the emblem on the back. Oddly the front bumper had the LINCOLN badge. The emblems interchange. I put a LSC on the front to match the back, I think it looks nice.

Notice also, that LSC's dont have the chrome trim around the front, rear bumpers and also the side trim pieces do NOT have chrome strips.

Posted by: vr4

i know its an LSC. i asked what to look for before i bought it. i verified the pref leather, duals, and 3.27 gears 2 weeks before i bought the car.

i was trying to figure out why it didnt have the badge. i was thinking the earliest 1s dont have it. i still have to check my build date.

BTW....the LSC badge has been discontinued as of 11/03

Yours doesn't have the 32valve intech jiberish next to the MarkVIII either, that came in somewhere in mid late 95 around the same time as the LSC option. If I had to guess all LSCs had that. Either your car is seriously distorting under that turn (I doubt that) or its been whacked in the rear, your truck reveals are pretty obviously out of whack.

Wrong truck lid.

i was wondering if someone would notice that.

its distortion. at rest all gaps are correct. these cars are NOT stiff by any means.

the 32valve intech bage came on the 97 year

Started sometime in 95. Its next to the MarkVIII emblem, hard to see in the pic.

You should try a rear torsion bar to help that.

i planned on bigger front and rear sway bars if i can find them.

i also plan on every poly bushing i can find. i want to try to maximize the stock air suspension.

now....mine is also 5/95. the trunk lid has never been changed. still has the VIN sticker on the inside lip.

according to this page the "32v intech" badge was a late 95 add on.

i do NOT have LSC floormats. only embroidered "mark VIII". i think my car is a bastard.

Posted by: poniesviii

It doesn't matter.

Custom seats or perforated donor seats out of an "LSC" along with the "LSC" side moulding and bumper covers, a gear change, custom exhaust, and either stripped emblems or LSC emblems and you, DO have.. a real LSC.

You don't have to sport all the LSC stuff. You just have to have a good reason why the LSC stuff is no longer there, and nobody can tell you that your car didn't come as an LSC.

Even the base mark viii's title (at least in 1996) states "mark viii dia ann/lsc"

Posted by: 98LSC32V

My 03/95 build date LSC has the emblem on the back (LSC). The floor mats didn't start saying LSC until 96 I believe.

I don't doubt its an LSC, just thought the truck was wrong. Floor mats don't mean squat, probably just replaced or the dealer didn't put the right ones in originally.
