Yep, worked on them for years and sold parts for them almost as long. I finally caught the Mark VIII bug! Black on Black '97 LSC.

I have quite a few things to do to it to get "Black Betty" where I want her. The a/c needs work, it has a coolant leak, brake vibration.....and what a shock....a air suspension leak!

That's a pretty car.
You'll enjoy it. It's a magnificent cruising vehicle.

Congratulations!!!! Very Nice!!!

Congrats Eddie. :cool:

very nice choice eddie, i like you more now!! and dont feel bad, i started parting them out in 1999, but i didnt own one until 2004 since then i have owned 9 of them myself!! i have a slight mark bug too. great looking ride. enjoy it.

Way to go, Eddie!

I saw that car advertised, it looked really clean.

Welcome to the 'what did you do to your MarkVIII today (and tomorrow, and the day after)' threads...:D

Wow Eddie, that thing is beautiful!!

Thanks guys. I used to get to drive these things every once in awhile when I was a tech, but never for very long. I can definately see the attraction for this car!

Its the first car I've owned in about 7 years. The biggest thing to get used too is having to look up for everything again. Its feels like I'm sitting on the ground. I live in the boonies and the "shortest" thing I've driven for the last 7 years is an AWD '06 Explorer. My daily ride is a 6 inch lifted 2000 F-350 Turbo Diesel! :eek:

BTW Jaimie and Laser, I like your rims. What are they called?

great!

nice car Eddie.

I have to say it cause noone did........... NOOB! The airride is supposed to leak when you first buy it. Beautiful car man.

Nice pick Eddie!! Did you have a compressor in stock for it? :p

Welcome to the Black/black gen 2 club!

Hey eddie don't know if you remember but I'm the one having relay issues. Congrats on your new car.

Nice car Eddie!
Blk/blk LSC 2nd gen FTW!
I wonder how many Marks you keep on the road.
Thanks for the help keeping mine going.

I love those black on black Gen 2's! You'll love it!

Congrats Eddie, you won't regret buying it...

I need a Spider Valve, Can't seem to purchase it on your site(???)

Well I'm a little late getting into this thead..

Congrats Eddie ... Hey I know a great guy in case you have air ride issues .. ... LOL oh and don't go to Sun Coast LOL ...

So does it have air ride yet?

He's doing a coil conversion, he's heard that the air ride is nothing but trouble....

LOL, no, no. I'm keeping the air ride on "Betty". I like the Mark VIII, don't get me wrong, but the main reason I bought it was to use it for a test car for new products.

I'm gonna be testing a new vamped compressor on this thing shortly. One that can be made from parts easier to find than the Mark VIII compressor for one thing, but also one that has a Spider Valve built in! If it works like I think it will, it WILL be one slick setup!

Good Job Eddie!! What took you so long to come to the dark side.

Timing brother...timing. If I would have gotten one before, it would have been just "another" toy. Now its actually used for business and pleasure. Can you say...."Business Expense"?

Nice man, good luck with Her.

SWEET!!!...Can't wait...Hope this comes through!

+1. If its a faster pumping/venting setup then I want one and will buy one from your first run. :)

I'll take one too. I want to replace my old unit before it expires and keep mine as a backup.
