    tempted

    I was out at the local Pick-n-Pull with my brother in law looking for pieces for his '81 MB 300D and saw they had a '69 Chevy Corvair Monza for sale ($1499) it looked to be in pretty good shape, just surface rust and a good interior with a clean looking engine. They only made 6000 Corvairs...

    How About....................

    As it seems the '96 Mark uses several parts unique to that year, how about a Tech Article that lists all the things that are only used on the '96, like the VLCM and the 130 amp alternator, so that all of us with a '96 don't go making troubles for ourselves installing the wrong parts? If...

    How many miles ?

    My '96 Mark VIII now has 180,000 miles on it. Other than regular maintenance items (tires, shocks, etc.) I've only had to replace a couple oxygen sensors. This car has never left me stranded anywhere. Mark VIII's are great!
