Real meaning of ad:

"Wife wants me to sell, I don't want to but have to show her I made an effort."

Lol. Method to the madness. If thats the case then he's not a fool but a very smart man...

No one in their right mind after putting that much money into a Mark, or any car for that matter would sell it. Unless they can get their money out of it. I just don't see the money coming back out of it. It is a nice car though. Is he on any of the forums? He has Geno's rear wing.

Doesn't look like a '98 engine in there to me

Am I missing something?

Posted by: ground_zero298

what were we talkin about?

Posted by: ONEBADMK8

Wing he says is $300.00 when it is $349.00? Not sure on that price list. This car is Tim Thoma's old car which I believe BigBill from the forums bought and still owns.

Posted by: StincolnLincoln

no bids yet on it hhmmm i would say he would get at least 10k for it..

Dear Donald,

If there were maybe 5 Lincoln Mark VIII's left on the planet with all the rest being in the graveyard, you might have a point asking $41,002 for your Spring Edition car.

Right now you are fishing in an ocean without any fish my friend.

Do yourself a favor. Put the car back in the garage and go buy yourself a real nice Saturn or Hyundia.

We'll check back with you in 20 years and see what the going rate is on a Spring Edition 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC with 71,091 miles.

Best regards,

Probably 'meant' to say '98 block and heads' because that's all there is of a '98 in there. Ignition (spaghetti noodles) and intake are vintage Gen 1.

I offered 8k for the spring shipped, and i think im being generous

Posted by: papa bear

We paid 25k for the SuperMark. Has me beat? How?

Posted by: 93' Blue on blue

Lol. Guy is retarded. Must be rare if its a spring feature and LSC model! 8k for that car is a generous offer. He should have took it!

Its a copy of my car totally (less blower), when Tim approached me when he owned it I gave him all the hood info and he bought the Wing from us etc. It's a Black TerminVIIIor.

Here's a good one: http://www.markviii.org/LOD2/spring_feature.htm ) "A few Spring Feature Cars have turned up as LSC models, so there were some obviously built as such..." although it was previously stated in the article that the Spring Feature was a Base Model Only package. So, while extra-rare, I'm pretty sure "a few" means that there isn't just one. In fact, the few Spring Feature Mark VIIIs that I have seen on the road have all been LSCs. So, I think that says something on its own.

When it comes down to it - Mark VIII or not - that guy has to be on crack or something if he thinks that any car of that particular age - let alone a BONE STOCK LINCOLN - is going to be sellable that close to its original price.

Someone please call the guys in the white coats before this dude hurts somebody.

Original Sticker is far from what you could buy these cars for at the end. Many guys paid $33 grand or less.

Shessh. The car has 70K on it.

No, but I figured the guy would eventually make it over here and see it. If you have his email addy, I'd be happy to send it.
