Okay, this may sound old to some (or a lot) of you, but for me this is my first time really shopping around for a Mark VIII and knowing what I'm looking at. So, for me it's just a little shocking some of the stuff that I see posted!

Of course, there's always the false "1996 Diamond Anniversary" or "1998 Collector's Edition" ads, or the ones advertising an "LSC" model that is so obviously not. This can be forgiven however, as many people are really just not informed at all about these models of vehicles.

But then there's people like this idiot: http://tinyurl.com/3ajpop

He seems to be trying to present himself as being very well-informed and informative about this car, but to those of us "in the know" he is so not. Listen to these claims:

1994 Lincoln Mark VIII
"VERY RARE LSC MODEL" - Oh yeah, definitely rare if it's an "LSC".
"31 MPG @ 70.and 1750 RPM; 29 MPG @ 80 MPH and 2000 RPM" - Can anyone verify this for me? I'm sure that's nowhere near what I was getting with my '93.
"All ON REGULAR FUEL." - Boy have I got a "knock-knock" joke for you.
"Black Carriage top with moon roof." - Pardon while I vomit.
"DRIVE FULL SIZE SPORT LUXURY, SAVING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON YEARLY FUEL COSTS." - Over what, a Suburban?
"With the lowest co-efficient of friction 2.9." - Only number I was able to quickly find for the Mark VIII was a '93 with a drag c/e of 0.33. What is this guy trying to say?
"A fully automatic air suspension system that lowers the car body 2" closer to the road over 55 MPH." - Making this "LSC" even more rare, since all the other Mark VIIIs only drop 0.8", and even that's closer to 60 MPH!
"You are assured: MPG 32 @1750 RPM and 70 MPH; MPG 29 @ 2000 RPM and 80 MPH 31; @ 1,750 RPM and 80 MPH 28.5 MPG @ 2,000 RPM;" - Okay, I've lost track now. I'm getting what MPG at what speed and what RPM???
"Cruses at only 3 times 650 idle speed." - Is this really something special?
"After this there will be no more Marks available. Lincoln will never again produce the power plant and drive train components of the 1994 Marks." - I think there's a couple hundred members here that can attest that there's plenty Marks available in the world. And last I checked - part of this is even mentioned later in the ad - the 4.6L Ford modular engine and 4R70W transmission are still very much alive and kicking in production.
"Unlike any other car this Mark is BlindSpotLess. Right, no blind spots, anywhere. A factory feature. What a safety bonus!" - Uh, yeah... right. How many extra mirrors did you add?

*headdesk*

I've got half a mind to check out this one and actually buy it if it's in good condition, just to get the poor Mark out of that idiot's hands!

Posted by: MERIJONS97LSC

The only way I can respond to that ad, is to quote the cave man from the cieco commercial.."aaaaaa WHAT!"

Posted by: 02LSE96LSC91SE84TC

Mines super rare too. I guaranty not one has the exact fading paint pattern as mine...I've seen similar, but not exactly.

If I roll down a hill and shut the car off...I use no gas at all, amazing.

Posted by: shiryu0

WOW........and hes got a '97 too..........

Posted by: unity

"31 MPG @ 70.and 1750 RPM; 29 MPG @ 80 MPH and 2000 RPM" - Can anyone verify this for me? I'm sure that's nowhere near what I was getting with my '93.

Sounds about right and what I got before I dropped this 04 power plant in. With my tune now I get about 28/29 at 65-70MPH and about 24-25mpg at 75mph.

"A fully automatic air suspension system that lowers the car body 2" closer to the road over 55 MPH." - Making this "LSC" even more rare, since all the other Mark VIIIs only drop 0.8", and even that's closer to 60 MPH!

If its a 93 computer, thats possible. Also, the air ride computers can be flash programed using Ford software. If I did not see it, I would not have believed it. Once can even program a lower park height and a separate highway height so it slams at park but lowers less on the highway.

"After this there will be no more Marks available. Lincoln will never again produce the power plant and drive train components of the 1994 Marks."

And thank god for that, the new stuff made is MUCH better! LOL I guess its in the wording....

I would NOT buy this Mark.

Weren't LSC's not available until 95?

All Marks are LCSs. The LSC trim package and options were introduced in 95.

LSC = Luxury Sport Coupe

I don't pay much attention to RPM and I believe my tach is a bit off anyway. But I can tell you that every week on my 400mi round trip I get 32mpg, not using cruise, averaging 77-78mph. At 85 it's more like 28mpg. I attribute some of this to the fact that my trip ranges from 5100' to 7300' above sea level, less air, so less fuel is used...

Oh, and I knew that joke was coming, because I have a knock sensor.

I love the price for his 130,000 miles rare car... Damn... mine has even more miles... I want $10,000 for it.

All Marks are not LSC's. The LSC was a higher performance version of the Mark VIII. It had a less restrictive almost true dual exhaust system that added 10 horsepower to the stock Mark VIII's 280hp 4.6L DOHC V-8 for a total of 290hp. If I am not mistaken, the LSC also had electronically controlled adjustable shock absorbers that firmed up the ride like in the T-Bird Turbo and Super Coupes to improve handling, and softened the ride on straight line trips. The LSC's also had special LSC badging to distinguish them from lesser Mark's. And on the GEN II versions, the trim was monochromatic on the LSC models and chrome on base Mark VIII's.

Posted by: The Reaper

No adjustable shock absorbers like the Super Coupes.

Posted by: whiplash15

Thats not quite true about adjustable shocks/ride control. In the supercoupes you have a switch for normal or performance ride control. On the 93 and maybe the 94's they also have adjustable orfice rear shocks. They just arent manually adjustable. Totally automatic.

All Mark VIIIs (LCSs and not) have the same automatically adjusting air ride system. It drops 0.8" at around 60 MPH, and kicks back up when the car slows down to city speeds again. See this video: http://www.markviii.org/LOD2/beam_ad.htm

Talking of daft people... Once a week i go on cars.com to see if that spring feature car has been sold. It has 70901 miles and used to be priced at 37002 anyway its now gone up to 39002!!! Crazy... lol.

The electronic shocks on the LSC models vary the stiffness of the shock absorbers using an electronic solenoid mounted on top of the shocks that adjusts the shock valving, not the air springs, depending on the way the car is being driven. They are completely computer controlled and not manually adjustible like the T-Birds.

Posted by: The Reaper

Thaywood, respectfully, don't argue, man.

There are NO electronic shocks on the LSC!!!!!!!!! Only Air Ride.

Lord knows I've replaced a few sets or Rear shocks and front air struts on LSC's. Buthumor me a bit. Where in this picture do you see a solenoid?

These pictures are from another member's Gen II.

Edit: And yes, these pictures are from an LSC.

Posted by: thaywood

Well, as it turns out, I may have been mistaken. I will have to wait until I get home, but I could swear that I saw in my 1996 Mark VIII sales brochure something about variable rate shocks. However, the Gen I Mark VIII's did indeed have actuator controlled variable damping REAR shocks. Look here: http://www.markviii.org/psjs_faqs/09299291.shtml
The Gen II versions did not have these shocks.

Posted by: rmac694203

My 96 did not have the adjustable shocks. I just replaced them 6 months or so back. I'm thinking they were only on the earlier models.

Posted by: thaywood

I feel silly for saying this, but I have had my 96 for about five years and I have never actually looked at the rear shocks. But when I get home I am going to give it a look. Mine is not an LSC and I am curious to see if it has the adj. shocks. We'll see.

Posted by: Iszi

Ah, I thought we were talking about the springs, not the shocks. If I recall correctly, I think my '93 base model had some wiring going to the shocks before we ripped them out and put in the SensaTracs.

As I understand it, Gen I's had variable rate shocks...

Posted by: Moes8

ONLY 93'S and maybe a few early 94's (notlikely,but maybe) had electronic rear shocks used for anti dive under braking,Ford then devised newer rear shocks with mechanical anti dive technology.

i have a set of 93 rear shocks with the actuators laying around .so i have seen them first hand,my 95 has regular shocks.

Posted by: tri-valleyracin

My 94 has sensors on top of the rear shocks. they are a big solenoid looking thing that clips to the top of the shock. ill get pics tomarrow when i have the car back from the shop were the power steering lines got replaced.

I've got 3 sets of those I should sell on as rare... and make a few Millions...

And from my Lincoln sources all Mark VIIIs are Luxury Sport Coupes and the LSC is a package.

Oh and If you think the LSC is a performance package ... I guess if you really think so... What is it 10 HPs from the true dual exhaust? Different gears but do they really make a difference?

To me the only thing the LSC give you is a little bit more money on a sale or something to list on eBay...

Yes, the Mark VIII (as well as the Fox platform Mark VII, and possibly the 1956-57 Continental Mark II, if you want to get nitpicky) is a "luxury sport coupe" in the broad sense of the word. But so is a Cadillac Eldorado, Buick Riviera, Pontiac Grand Prix, and several Mercedes, BMW, Jaguars, etc. The 1994-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC's were different in several respects from the lesser base Mark VIII's. According to my 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII sales brochure, the LSC had many features that the base Mark didn't have. The LSC had ture dual exhaust that added 10hp and 5 ft-lbs of torque for a total of 290hp and 290ft-lbs. Other LSC exclusive features include "Luminarc" HID headlights, 3.27:1 axle ratio, Monochromatic bodyside moldings, euro-perforated leather seating surfaces, sport suspension with unique shocks and bigger sway bars, and directional cast aluminum wheels. According to the brochure, the base 280hp Mark VII for 1996 would do 0-60 in 7.9 seconds while the higher performance LSC would do it in 7.6 seconds. That's 3/10ths of a second quicker. Not a lot, but what do you expect for only 10 more horsepower? The point being that all luxury 2-door performance coupes regardless of their names, are "luxury sport coupes' by definition. The Mark VII and Mark VIII actually had an upgraded version that was actually called an "LSC" and had special badging and special equipment that made it unique.

Gen1 LSCs weren't regonizeable by the vin, probably why they all are called LSCs falsely by many, or all considered LSCs...whichever side your on.

Gen2s they did vin different between LSCs and non. If it makes yo feel better according to my insurance co. The rating on the 96 was higher than the LSC 98 I was lookin at, few years ago.

For a picky car enthusist like me calling a non LSC a LSC is wrong. The few things appearance wise set it apart on Gen1s and Gen2s alike. Any Mark owner knows the difference.

I thought they all did but many early ones (late95) were recalled and removed by the factory, replaced by standards.

Oh I agree with you... and LSC is an LSC.... but it's really only a package. But to really call the the LSC a preformance package you don't really get any performance for the package. I've read too many post by long Mark VIII owners who have put Non-LSC up against LSC models and their is not difference.

And 290 I hope that's not RW Torque that thaywood is talking about...

If I had an LSC well that would be cool but I really don't care... The only real gain in the LSC are the HIDs... The gears don't give enought to make that much difference and the true dual the same...

I'd put my 94 up against any stock LSC any day...

My LSC will be raced this fall for sure. Unless it breaks.

I'm hoping to get it to run as fast as the LS as it sits...almost stock.

Posted by: mespock

But my 94 has Jason.. my 94 has.. LOL... now I need to get to the track and see what it can do... And this was while it still had some issues... Granted temps were cool that night but isn't that what you want?

Now I just need the experience of running it on the track like Scott had done.

1 14.6 pass vs. 30-40 14.6 passes 20-30 14.5 passes and 5 14.4 passes isn't exectly the same...IMO. I know its not exactly stock but the LSE doesn't fear any near stock VIIIs. I'm not saying its going to kill them, just win everytime

at 1/8 and 1/4 mile tracks. Moving races I wouldn't be so confident.

Cool temps make a big difference...and never actually racing at a 1/4mile also does. Experience with a car will get the best out of it.

The plan is 14.0 for the LSE this fall technically. I just hope the LSC can do the mid 14s and should.

This issue has been discussed many time on many forums and it ends up the same every time...

Hopefully this fall I can meet you down at GLD and we can have some fun.

Your stack of time slips does show your experience.

Like when someone who frankly doesn't know anything about cars trys to sell one and overnight he turns himself into a used car salesman

While were on the subject, my personal favorite is the "I would personally". Whenever i see that or hear that i wanna just scream SHUT THE

on the gen 2 front,my favorite part of gen 2's is the interior,after that the rear is ok,but the front is all wrong,but i would still take a gen 2 if i could find one for free or tradee for my gen 1,hell i just want obd 2 so i can get an excal for it

Seriously, we need to combine them, the 2nd gens seats and tail lights, keep the 1st interior, and all the fast stuff, start with the LSC 1st gens body, swap out the grill for the 2nd gens (make it happen...no whining), rear tail lights of the 2nd gen headlights of the 96 LSC, adding several other swaps and keeps to the list....ahhhh the way I would love to really personalize a Mark VIII nice...we gotta do it

All that talk about 1st gen.,2nd gen., lsc or not lsc! what difference does it make? Their both great cars! But I do have a 2nd gen. lsc, So of course its the best!! The only thing I feel they should have changed was the hump on the trunk. They should have taken the hump off the trunk and but it in the back seat where it belongs!!:

Lol! i wouldnt fancy trying it in the back of a Mark VIII! Have to be a bloomin' contortionist! I am however, impressed with the trunk space. I took a snooze in there a few days ago! Needs one of those inside trunk releases like the mustangs have.

As a matter of fact, I put my 94 up against my friends newly purchased 97 LSC. The only mods I have is the muffler delete, air silencers removed, and cold plugs, none of which really make a difference in power (obviously I didn't spray... no point.) From a dig through the end of his first gear was dead even, he shifted and I pulled a fender by the time I'd shifted. Through second gear, same thing nobody gained ground until he shifted into 3rd, then I put about a car and a half on him before I let off at ~100.

The 3.27s and duel exhaust didn't make up for my Gen 1's intake manifold and tune...

He wants to do the KB 2.1 kit now...

(But it's OK if he does, because unless he does C heads and a whipple 3.3, I can just bring out the Apollo and put a few buslengths on him that way

So what maybe a car length at the 1/4 mile mark, thats not a whole lot. Would have been most interesting if it was a Gen1 LSC/same intake.

Thats nothing! On the way to a car show I saw a 95 Mark VIII, lowered, oversized tires in back and a blower sticking half way out of the hood...He pulled over and when into a 7-11..I seen my opportunity, I took my stock 97 LSC and I floored it! and "WHOOSH" right passed it, It never know what hit it!!

I meant to post this but have just been too busy to. right after I posted this I e-mailed the guy saying he was a joke and full of it.. and he kept on replaying saying how his nascar buddies knew everything, and how this car is so rare because it came from the factory with lower gears. I believe he said it had like 2.63 or some low # like that whatever the gearing is.. idk but he was totally wacked and never had any real answers... just vauge inputs... I made so many good points and he made none.
