That red 92 is great, real nice car! Mine is a 1990 Lincoln Mark VII Blass Coupe, original paint (Grey or metallic silver) it looks great in the lights at night!
Blue leather interior, adult driven. The interior is in excellent condition. I'm the 3rd owner, the guy I bought it from had it since OCT 07, and I think his wife probably conned him into selling it or something because it's an absolute beauty. He wanted $3500 for it and I offered him 3 grand, so we settled on 3200. He could have got 5 for it if he would have shopped it around some more.
It's a Bond car, there is one similar to it in the film "License to Kill", when Timothy Dalton played James Bond. It's in 3 scenes, not major action scenes but there is a really great look at the car in the movie. I believe the one in the film is a LSC Special Edition, not the Blass Coupe like the one I have.
My Blass Coupe has a sunroof/ moon roof, fully loaded, keyless door entry, CD player sounds great. The passenger side window needs to be fixed because it wont go up and down without a little persuasion.
I just got some Good Year Regatta tires put on it today and it needs Struts and a new stabilizer link which will cost me about $400, but its a small price to pay for such a sweet car.
I am considering buying a 96 Towne car too as second car, its not as in good of shape as the Mark VII, but I just LOVE Lincolns. I have the pictures to prove it but my apologies for not having downloaded them yet.
I found the Mark VII parked across the street from the liquor store I go to and it was out about 3 weeks before I finally took it for a test drive and totally fell in love with it. I'm sure it will bring me lot's of good cruisin' for years to come.

I think i would have preferred a Mark VII to the VIII. Those VIIs are pretty scarce - i have yet to see one in the metal!

The one I got is a dream come true for a 90 Mark VII fan! It's solid, never been wrecked. It has a couple of dings on the passenger chrome strip that looks like a couple of rocks damaged it and someone filled it with aluminum. It's very minor damage. It rides like a dream too since I got the struts and stabilizer link fixed at Goodyear, they did a nice job!
I wish I could afford another Lincoln, I really wanted a 96 Towne car, but the 90 Mark VII requires ALL my attention and I enjoy the work that goes into it. Yes, it gets costly at times but well worth it!
