well i was browsing through ebay and saw this guy selling his car. i know it might sound real lame that i didn't know about it but it looks pretty nice. and they only made 200? does anyone else have one on lvc?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lincoln-LS-SS-Custom-2002-Lincoln-LS-SS-number-130-of-200_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ31850QQihZ006QQitem Z160123336530QQrdZ1

Why would Lincoln use an SS badge? Isn't that Chevy verbiage? I agree with you...lame.

I don't know about no SS, but the car looks good.

I saw that earlier and laughed.

what inda he@#!!!

Its a bunch of hooey. Lincoln never produced an "SS" Lincoln LS.

Good for a chuckle, tho. :D

There is no such LS...WTF? It is pretty nice so why the hell lie about it? Some people are idiots.

what makes it a special production out of 200? it sounds like everything on there, he did. not some special facotry edition upgrades. this is like the supercharged LSC

it's the name for the buyer--"Super Sucker"

What a clown. I hope anyone who bids on that does some homework first. Anyone know how many LSE's were made in 2002? That cant be the 130 of 200 number he's talking about. I also noticed it has a regular sport front bumper, so i'd think its been wrecked and replaced. Did a true LSE come with chrome trim around the windows? The picture of the headrest with TV totally doesnt match the interior....looks gay. My favorite part is the gold badge on the dash..... i'd love to know what that says. Also, unless you are towing a boat what good does a rear view camera have on an LS?

I didnt even see this..!!

http://i12.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/a3/3e/1c56_12.JPG

WTF?!.....WHY?!

Holy cow!!!! Someone said something cause he just updated his auction with that badge picture. I cant beleive the crap he is posting. Please somebody go set him straight. Waiting to hear from Quik on this one. Meanwhile i am going to go get a gold badge engraved so i can have a limited edition too !!

I asked him if there was some documention on this so-called limited edition. He added the gold plaque to his photos in the ebay. He also provided me with this response:

Yes there is a badge on the dash board, I just added pics of the dash plaque to the listing as several people have asked to see it.

In 2002 since the LSE (Sport Package) was not neither made nor offered till 2003, in 2002 Lincoln took 200 stock cars and added the Razzi body kit and called it a limited edition and numbered each car.

Draw your own conclusions. He's dead wrong about the LSE package not being available in 2002 -- it definitely was, according to the 2002 Order Guide.

He's posted the VIN. Can someone run it and see exactly what kind of car this is?

looks like he printed that with a label maker. luckily we at lvc are always skeptical so we can go and tear him a new one to save an unsuspecting future ls owner from being taken advantage of.

watch...... in two weeks there will be a new member claiming he just bought a limited edition lincoln ls super sport

Someone should bid on it then back out afterwards due to B.S. information. I'm sure eBay would side with you.

thats not even worth possibly ruining your rating though and dealing with that. you can just report to ebay its bs in the first place.

its ashame, its a nice car but the guy is f'ing himself.

at least the guy with the LSC (Lincoln Super Charged) Mark VIII retracted his statement. this guy dug his hole so deep he might as well just pull the auction

It's a regular LS with the Razzi kit and headrests from either an '03+ or some other vehicle. Dealers have been known to do this kind of thing and then put that stupid plaque on the dash.

+1. :I I was thinking this might be a dealer "Special Edition". Our Chevy Dealer here had a BUNCH of nasty looking Camaro's in the late 80's that were "Special Editions" that they had a local custom shop do. They had plaques on the dash too.

The seller may actually believe that he has a LS SS that Lincoln built. :eek:

yeah but at least make it an SVT LS and not an LS SS. a ford brand instead of chevy

I sent him an email and that this was probably a dealer thing. Here was his response:

"Thanks for you thoughs, but I only speak of what the Lincoln dealership sold it to me as, if the car is not for you I undersand."

So this IS a dealer thing!

So this IS a dealer thing!No its not. Dealer package cars don't have any extra body kits and crap. Its just a bunch of books and stupid little extras, plus a nice set of wheels.

There is only 200 but its not any SS and it don't look like that at all.

Those head rest are an aftermarket brand that you order with the LCD in it.

That front bumper still looks stock to me unless my eyes are bad. Aside from all that he could have sold it with out telling some BS story.

If they told him this than yeah its a dealer rip off thing! but its not one of those dealer limited cars.

I have seen this on Car domain as well, someone had a pitcure of this badge. It was a while ago and I thought to myself what??? I dont remember exactly but, something tells me when I saw it a while ago it was #130/200.

BWAHAHAHA, way to go on the originality! Looks cheap. :thumbsup:
Cheap looking aftermarket wheels (he couldnt even get lincoln center caps for them?). I've seen that body kit before, ill have to look it up later when im not on lunch.

I hope nobody buys that thinking its an "SS".

How ghey.

looks like he printed that with a label maker. luckily we at lvc are always skeptical so we can go and tear him a new one to save an unsuspecting future ls owner from being taken advantage of.

watch...... in two weeks there will be a new member claiming he just bought a limited edition lincoln ls super sport

haha my sentiments exactly

These have been posted on here before. Likely an aftermarket custom place made them. Add the body kit and label it a limited. Hard to imagine them making 200 of them.

I find it hard to believe that there are another 199 of those cars around. You'd think you would either see one on here or something like cardomain. Regardless if you ask me its a crappy job and wouldnt think any dealer would want to claim that as a limited edition. Its not even a full razzi kit, cant tell if the mesh in the grill and bumper is quality work, the headrests dont match in color, there is one close up picture of the rear drivers wheels which has some bad curb rash, in the same pic the rear valance doesnt look like its flush and clean on the rear bumper, the engine bay pic you can see an alarm installed with the wiring just hanging around, and of course that fugly gold badge. Other than that it looks ok. I noticed his keychain....Unique Motorsports. I doubt thats their work, i'll bet he is a wannabe custom guy. Its overall not a bad USED custom car, but he is asking too much for it.

PS - Anyone else notice he said he had a fifth full size spare in the trunk? How is that happening? Relocate the battery and totally rebuild the trunk?

PSS - As mentioned by others, i find it hard to believe also that any respectable custom shop would place a "SS" label on a FoMoCo product. Its like having a SVT Camaro.

I think a full size spare may fit in there. In the regular in and out I do with mine going to the track it sure has plenty of room.

When I was shopping for my MarkVIII I ran across a "GOLD COAST" model. I never heard of it and still never saw another one. It had unique gold badges and had a dash plaque also. There are conversion companies that do T-Tops, ground effects, carriage tops and various other things to cars and brand them much like conversion van companies do. Not so popular anymore.

I couldn't agree more that 200 being done would be odd.

The LS, atleast the '00-'02 has plenty of room for a full size spare. The LS originally came with a full size spare, but I believe they started to phase that out somewhere in the '01 or '02 model year. My '01 has a full size spare.

There is some room under there but i thought the battery makes it alittle too tight. I noticed the guy changed his description again by removing the "there wasnt a LSE until 2003" nonsense. Atleast he's making progress. Still dont think he'll get a winning bidder.

Maybe it's rbones

Maybe it's rbones

For some reason there is some 200 LS's made for the dealerships that are limited. I read a few articles about it, but like I said it dont look like that it looks plain out normal.

I fit a 17" in my spare compartment.

off topic but hey eliot do you get my pm's?

my grandfather used to have an LS "SS". it was a dealership package, no performance modifications but it had LSE side skirts and rear facia, colored rear license plate surround, and mclaren "like" grill and lower grill. He had "003/200" but its not special, only a dealership gimmic. it looked pretty nice though

I found one of these "ss" Lincolns on LvC.

Wow...i guess some humble pie is in order. I cant beleive those things are for real. It looks like a bunch of different parts put together though. Mclaren grill, some sort of mesh in lower grill, side skirts and rear skirt, dual exhaust with no cutouts. I wonder why not a different front bumper? Those badges look very cheap and ugly and the "Super Sport" still doesnt belong on a Ford.

the headrests are ebay specials. And they are not matching the leather. He could have at least dyed them to match

I was goggling around awhile ago and I found something about these cars. I KNOW they don't look like that at all. Like I said all they came with was a nice set of wheels and a bunch of books and extra literature, pens, leather reg. holder, dumb stuff! No side skirts, no grill, no rear valance either and it definitely didn't say SS anywhere on it.

Glanga, what PM's.? I sent you one a few days ago with a address.

Sounds like someone needs a beating. Since Lincoln never made or authorized these "limited editions", he should come clean and say that.

As a marketing technique, it's brilliant albeit deceitful. Get a $2 plaque, label it with "Limited Edition" and bogus production numbers, slap it on the dash and ask $5000 more for the car!

Pray no one buys that. poor sucker can buy a nice lse for that much.

and eliot i havent gotten anything. my email is glanga@comcast.net

Hey Guy's;

Just new to the site, been visiting off & on since I bought my LS. WRT this car on Ebay, it's for real (LS SS). It's not the first one I've seen. I'm pretty sure that this was a promotional thing in one of the regions in the US. This car has been messed with, er I mean, modified some what, however not that well. I can't believe some of you LS vets have not seen these cars before.

Cheers.

I can understand some individual dealers doing their own promotions or something, but i still refuse to believe that any Ford dealer intentionally put a "SS" badge on a Ford product. Isnt "GT" a Ford thing?

I agree. I'd like to know what dealer sold that car. Or who started this SS thing on the LS's

I agree. I'd like to know what dealer sold that car. Or who started this SS thing on the LS's
I actually got the nerve to ask this guy about his car yesterday. He said he got it at Burns Ford Lincoln Mercury in New York. There's a start.

yeah but did he buy it used from there? My carfax ran out or else id run the vin.

yeah but did he buy it used from there? My carfax ran out or else id run the vin.
He didnt say whether he bought it used or new, but he did say that they verified the car when they sold it to him. So if there is a trail of deception it leads back to them. In a way i dont blame him, if a Ford dealer sold it to him and told some story about a LS SS then why would he doubt it?

I think that this is a "dealer" only "special" badge. The user name BIG CELO is from NJ. The number that this ebay guy is using - "516-818-4029" is the same as this http://www.nationalcustomcarassociation.com/ad_inquiry.shtml..... And that is in NY.

I think it's all B/S because as it's been stated - SS=Chevy. I think the dealer was just trying to sell all their "special sports" to suckers.

WTF? The limited edition dealer cars werent ment for civillian sale's they went to special dealers. AND THEY NEVER HAD HALF A BODY KIT on them either. Why the hell would Ford or Lincoln or even any car company at all put on sideskirts and a rear valance with a factory bumper that does not match? It is plane out to see it does not match up!

The car was bought used and some how had the side skirts and rear put on either by this guy or the previouse owner.

Think about the time the MClaren was made along with the time its grilles were beeing distributed first off hand guys.

I think it's all B/S because as it's been stated - SS=Chevy. I think the dealer was just trying to sell all their "special sports" to suckers.

SS = Sucker Sport :D

WTF? The limited edition dealer cars werent ment for civillian sale's they went to special dealers.

Actually, these cars are dealer created gimmicks. Just like the vinyl tops. Dealers don't get cars that they don't intend to sell.

Actually....dealers owned them! It was for the big up dealers..it was meant for them to own, had nothing to do with selling them. But the car in the pic IS NOT one of them, its just some guy BS his way to a sale.

Like I said, all the limited cars came with was a leather registration holder/folder..some extra stuff to read..ETC.. oh and some aftermarket wheels of a low quality brand MHT's I think to be exact. They just looked nicer than most factory sets. If you think a salesman went out and did this to a bunch of cars so they can sell them your an idiot.

Oh and the red emblems, I forgot about those. If you own a 2000 LS like I do you can see the pic of the dealer special limited car on the cover of one of the quick reference booklets. I'm not sure about other years coming with the same booklet, they may have.

Actually....dealers owned them! If you think a salesman went out and did this to a bunch of cars so they can sell them your an idiot.




Having been to the factory and talking to the Vice President of Marketing, Lincoln, I think I know a thing or two.

My local dealer does this all the time! They have a MkZ on their lot now with some cheesy aftermarket 20" wheels. It isn't the salesmen that do this, the GM has it done. ALL the cars, except for the personal employee cars and manufacturer owned "lent" cars (and I don't mean this type) a dealer has on their lot are for sale. That's how they make money.

Lincoln NEVER sent one of these cars from the factory. It is a well known fact that dealers do this type of thing all over the country to try and make more $$$ on the car. It is nothing more than a gimmick.

So, in your words, I guess I'm an idiot.

Sure, do you know what kind of trouble these dealerships can get in when some one finds out the car isn't what they say it is?

Thats nuts.

It was bought new and had the parts put on it and then was sold again at a dealership to the guy selling it on e-bay, probably even on consignment. Nothing more scandalous going on here like that.

So , in words that follow mine as you put it yourself. Your an idiot.

Now that we can go back to the topic, that car had that work done by some one aside from Lincoln. It is not a limited edition type car.

I had a Ford dealer near me selling an "Orange County Choppers" edition Ford F150. It had some funky graphics, add on parts and the ever so important dash badge which was numbered. I dont know if that was a promotion across the entire U.S. or just a local thing, but one HUGE difference between the OCC truck and this LS SS is the OCC was professionally done and looked like it made sense. That LS SS thing looks like a bunch of crap thrown on the car and none of it matches. The mclaren grill is different from the mesh in the lower grill. Thats not something that ANY professional custom shop would do.

Exactly, and thats not something a dealership would do either be it a new or used one.

"North Shore Lincoln/Mercury" in Long Island, New York had a series of 200 of these "SS" cars (Standing for super sport) that were not from the factory, but done at the dealership to make more money. Ford had no knowlegde of their actions, but all modifications were made using OEM Parts (LSE kit, minus the front bumper) so the warranties were technically still valid. All I know is how they were done in Long Island, im sure other dealerships used the idea and modified their versions differently.
but basically its dealership, not factory, and a scam.

Eliot_Ness_Ls, I'll take that apology anytime. Like I've been saying (BTW, when did you ever view the cars being built on the assembly line?), these cars are modified by the dealers, who can pretty much do whatever they want with the car after they purchase it from the factory. Do you really think those stupid carriage tops come from the factory? When advised about LSes seen with these tops, the VP promised to break the legs of any dealer he caught doing that. He said they could do whatever they want to any other car, but the LS was to be left alone!

Again, when have you been to Wixom?? It was a wonderful experience to see our LSes being built. You wouldn't believe how close the tolerance is when the body is mated to the "frame". Incidentally, know what that section is called?

I guess we'll see what kind of a man you are. Can you admit when you make a mistake? I know I can.

I'm not gunna apologize at all. Its still not the dealership limited LS,(which is my whole argument) all of assuden this dealership has all 200 of them and would waste the time AND MONEYone big thing dealers hate wasting the most on a car that might not sell.

And I don't believe that a dealership would waste money on something that might not make that money back, plus why the hell would they not complete the body kit?

And what the hell sense does this make?

Who cares were you've been, I guess they told you about this SS LS at Wixom rght? And what does that have to do with the body kit and this car not being completed?

ok, you know what they say about arguing online
so this is actually kind of funny
but in all honesty, ford would never produce or okay a project like this.
and dealerships do waste time and money if it means they can make more back (ever heard of Galpin Auto Sport?) but anyway, everyones entitled to their opinion, and mine is that factory or dealer (which it is dealer), the SS is a dumb name for a ford product and not as great looking as the LSE or any real LS.

Dealerships do this sort of thing all the time. They do it with the ragtops you see on Mark VIIIs, the ASC moonroofs on the Mark VIIs, etc. There was even an episode of "Unique Whips" where Will hooked up with a South or North Carolina Mercedes dealer to customize the car for them to sell on the showroom floor.

all of assuden this dealership has all 200 of them

There's the rub. I would bet they only did this to a handful and then put the fake badge on.

Yea, we saw start to on the truck manufacture. The only "non-stock" LS that ever came out of the factory was the LSE.


Dude, believe what you want.

Don't tell anyone, but the earth is round......

nice use of shakespeare

LSVIPDEMON or Eliot_Ness_Ls --- what makes you believe they ever made 200?

LSVIPDEMON or Eliot_Ness_Ls

:lol::Beer

im neither of those people, but my grandfather owned an "SS"
and inside was a custom plate saying "Lincoln LS Super Sport, Limited Edition 003/200" thats just for one dealership though, so there are probably many more from other dealerships.
btw, quik i am amazed by your LS and have been for some time. It is truly amazing what you have done with the V8.

This ain't no SS, the real LINCOLN LS SS has tricycle mirrors.

Oh no you didnt bring back the ol' bicycle mirror thing !!!! That clown left some rather childish remarks in my profile about that. Pretty lame. I think i'm about done argueing about how stupid the SS is, but regarding the 200 cars thing, what in the world would ANY dealer be doing with 200 LS's on their lot. I'll make a bet there isnt a but a few dealers in the whole country that sold 200 regular LS's in any given year let alone 200 of those SS things. Regardless of where or when or how that SS was made i think the whole point of this thread is that it doesnt make it $.01 more valuable than any other LS. I have found that unless your selling to some kid most people dont buy cars with all kinds of mods done to them, if anything it makes them harder to sell or trade.

And I don't believe that a dealership would waste money on something that might not make that money back, plus why the hell would they not complete the body kit?
Dealerships do this, though not as often or on as large a scale as in the past; it was incredibly common in the late '60s for dealerships to create their own special packages. The Galpin Fords and Yenko Chevrolets are some of the more famous examples, but they're far from the only ones to do it.

Who cares. The idiot didn't sell the car anyway.

This ain't no SS, the real LINCOLN LS SS has tricycle mirrors.

LOL

Funny how he hasn't been back since the 9th, a little after my reply above....:shifty:

You guys have to read this!!!! I sent the guy who was selling this an ebay message and this is what he replied with.....

"Well I just did some research on the LS that you had to intervene and call false, well YOUR 100% WRONG it is an authentic limited edition numbered vehicle produced by Lincoln as a factory limited edition car.

It was called the Discovery 1 only offered in 2002 of which only 200 were ever produced featuring a different front grill package and special rear bumper (which is actually a Razzi piece) and lower front bumper.

How did I find this out, I called Ford customer Services who put me in touch with Ford research who verified the limited production of this numbered vehicle, though there technical research right off of the vin number on the car.

Next time to jump on and call someone you don?t know fake do your research first! "

Glanga, did he say anything about the mirrors?

No, nothing about them. I think hes full of crap. I don't beleive him at all that he called "Ford Research"
I sent this back to him.
Lincoln never authorized or knew about these "Limited Editions." The only way this car would come to be is from a dealership such as North Shore Lincoln/Mercury in Long Island making it. But you got it used from Burns Lincoln/Mercury. It's a gimmick just like landaeu tops on them. No Ford or Lincoln desinger would name a Ford product an "SS" which is clearly a Chevrolet moniker. No wonder you didn't sell the car. Its just like the Galpin Fords and Yenko Chevrolets. Sorry but I don't beleive that you called and they said this. Good luck trying to sell it.

This whole LS SS thing keeps taking some funny twists. I wonder if he'll run another auction stating his new found information. So i guess from his new info it really ISNT a "SS" but a "Discovery 1" so why the super sport on the badge? But he still has some odd statements. He still claims this is something produced by Lincoln, about the only thing that was produced by Lincoln was the factory LS that the crap was added too. Next he says a "special grill package", its the mclaren grill which if i am correct never had anything to do with Lincoln, totally aftermarket. "Special rear bumper"....i dont find one peice out of a whole kit being special, "lower front bumper"....its a peice of mesh added to a stock bumper. Oh well, he's still showing he's clueless. I'll bet his Ford Research he contacted was the idoit dealer that he bought it from.

Next he says a "special grill package", its the mclaren grill which if i am correct never had anything to do with Lincoln, totally aftermarket.
If it's a McLaren grille, it's 100% fer sure and fer certain that it's not a factory package (as if there were any doubt). The McLaren LS project fell through because Ford/Lincoln wouldn't help them with the PCM...

I am going to make a bogus badge for mine. Lincoln LS RS for the chevy fans that could not afford an SS. "2002 Lincoln LS Rally Sport 33/150 all origonal except for dash badge."

Damit!!! I can't believe he didn't say nothing about the damn mirrors!!!!!

Really? I thought we should go in on a group buy of LS39 AMG Kompressor Badges.

What was up with the mirrors? I didnt notice anything about them.

check post #67

I just got my LS today and it to has the "plaque" but this was not a selling point nor a believable one at that. I bought it because it was an LS:).....what do you guys suggest 86 the little badge or keep it?!?

.... seriously?..... I want to see some pics lol. Since the Ebay page has long expired.

sry dont have any of pics of her home just still at dealer i can giv e you site there too has like 52 pics, ill take some fresh ones tommorow after work

Cool, just wanna see it. Where those links supposed to work? or was that the hoax?

no links were suppose to work they dont?! im saying people belieivng the badge is a hoax

I can understand some individual dealers doing their own promotions or something, but i still refuse to believe that any Ford dealer intentionally put a "SS" badge on a Ford product. Isnt "GT" a Ford thing?
I am an old Ford racer, but I have to say that the term GT (Grand Touring) as used on cars was around a long time before Ford started identifying models with the GT designation. Just as GTO was a Ferrari designation long before Pontiac used GTO to identify one of their models.

Damn, I want a Lincoln R/T with a Hemi Engine Cover on a Lincoln 3.9 V8 motor......
hahaha...maybe a Lincoln 3.9 Type-S...lol

Last summer I seen a 3.5 liter "Hemi SVT" Charger. Had the snakes on the sides too! Mopar Hemi AND Ford SVT combined into one car??? Gosh it must have run 8's in the 1/4 bone stock. ;)

I could have a cheap little badge made for my LS and make it a "SS".:rolleyes:


Personally, it looks goofy without the front fascia done to match the rest of the kit. If you have one of these, keep the badge on the car. For shows reasons. It makes it RARE. Keep as much of the documintation as possible. We have all heard of "Yenko". This is how "rare" collector cars get started. Limited edition runs at dealerships. Granted, nothing really cool was done to it. But the documintation is the key to making it rare. Only 200 made. Its rare. Like it or not. It could be worth something down the road. Just my $.02.

i recently purchased a 2001 "ss" ls. doesnt actually say ss but the badge on the dash says super sport. didnt but it because i thought it was gonna be faster or anything just liked the way it looked has a diffrent uper and lower grill same front bumper as a regular on and razzi side skirts and rear bumper.just lettin you guys know they do exist

LMFAO!


wow

Bring that "SS" out to Floyd Bennet Field on Sunday at 10AM - there's a big car meet there. I'd like to check this thing out in person!

i didnt take the time to read all the post befor the original one i posted but after reading them i think who ever said these supers sports were dealer made is probably correct. i dont think theres any reason for dissin the super sport name and i certainly am not a "sucker" for buying it as the badge was not the reason for me buying it. p.s the upper and lower grilles are not mclaren grilles but are similar to them.

ok someone please call up LINCOLN or something cause wtf?... that plaque looks hella cheap...i havnt seen the car tho idk...

Lincoln never made an SS LS. Some kinda cheap dealer add on crap package probably, but never made that way from the factory.

Seems to me we went over this about a year ago anyway.

Someone must have called him on it because the auction is gone. "Invalid Item" :p

It was a sales gimmick. Jeep dealerships do it all the time, they put on a cheap ass dangerous body lift and some 33" tires and call it a special off-road edition when no Wrangler from the factory came with more than 31" tires.

It's supposed to make people feel like they are getting some exclusive and special. It can be the nicest, cleanest upgrades in the world but in the end that's all it is... a ploy for a dealership to con the car off on someone who thinks they are getting something more than they really are. You can go trade that into a Lincoln dealer and be like "Hey I got a special edition here, I want more on trade-in" and they'll tell you to shove it up your ass, that it's just a dealer gimmick and give you regular trade in for it... then they'll turn around sell it as a special edition trying to make a larger profit just like the first time it was purchased.


I just don't get how it can be called an SS. That seems almost blasphemous to me. I mean, SVT, ZX2, GT or something like that but an SS? That right there says it wasn't a factory authorized "special edition."

If you bought it because you genuinely liked the car then hey, to each his own. But if you bought it because you really thought it was a special edition then just changed your tune when you read this post, then you deserved to scammed which is all I consider this LS SS to be.

Post some pics up too when you get a chance.
