now i know its not the cleanest Mk8 you've ever seen, but she still get the job done. its a 94. we bought it in 97 with i dunno how many miles for $16,000. we bought it from a guy whos dad owned 3 lincoln dealerships (i think). he has everything that went in the 95 put on his 94, so it has the LSC package and stock CD player and all that good stuff.
BTW, im matt, and im 16. hope to get to know all of you. thanks :wrench

Welcome aboard. All the "gold kits" were done at dealerships.

Welcome Matt,

Your a smart kid, excellent taste in cars! These guys in here are the best - I do not think there is a thing about Mark VIII's they don't know!

Check that drivers side door, either it is a bit open or it's ready to be re-hinged (waiting only worsens the damage and drives up the repair $$$$. The trunk adjusts need to be screwed in a little, get those silver strips lined up man (adjusts are located on the trunk underside a rubber pieces on each side, give em a turn or two)..

Got a little tip for ya - grey out the plate # and don't tell your age on the internet. I am able to get your moms name and address from the plate number and from what you have said, sounds like your mom is single. If I wanted to I could just enlarge and do some work on the pic and get the house number right off the front of your house, the county off your plate and knock on your door before sunrise :) Sorry I'm into online security.

Again, you will find this site worth your ISP's fee - times 100!

Welcome!!!

Besides those mistakes is a nice looking car, i have a 94 red. i wanted a black one sooo bad never got, so finally i bought a 97 lsc white pearl sun roof etc; i love it. 1 owner i am second :) hope you get the car soon. lol

thanks for the tip. i fixed the pics... hope no one comes after me... because my moms NOT single, and me and my dad are hunters. not to scare anyone. anyway, we have great taste in cars. we only have american cars and only V-8's. we also have a '94 Camaro Z-28 LT-1 and '95 Ford Bronco. anyway, thanks for the tip, i just told my dad about the trunk thing. my parents are looking to get a newer MK8 so i might get the black one. im on my way (i hope) to UTI and hopefully the MK8 can be a project car. dunno what school im really going to go to but cars is my thing.

Nice car! That's the first time I've seen the bumper cutouts for the exhaust yet still having the turndown exhaust... I guess the previous owner did get everything changed over... Could you check the build date, it should be on the little sticker in the drivers door jamb, something like 6/94... Later
