7.1 is pretty quick to me coming from cars that can do 0-60 in the 9 to 10 second range. The 4v 4.6L have their own quirks just like the 2v 4.6L in the Panther can as well. Although the Mark VIII is more of special car just like the earlier Prowlers in which I've had the pleasure and privilege...

Yes, nice vehicles. I actually prefer the styling on the earlier gen 1 Mark VIIIs however, my understanding is that the gen 2 is slightly revised with regards to the interior and transmission issues. If I buy one my preferences would be low mileage and stock with maintenance upkeep. As for the...

Hello and thank you again for the responses. On my rebuilds I try to use quality parts because one thing I've learned is that with all cars/trucks then it will cost you in the long term plus I'd rather have it right the first time. I thought about an older Riviera as well because my high school...

Thank you. I'm still on the fence about a Mark VIII. So far, I've seen some lower mileage ones that were a decent price. Reading some of the issues makes think hard. To honest I think if I drove it, I would maybe average 4k-5k miles a year at most maybe. The suspension issue is the biggest. I've...

91 LSC SE, thank you for comments and information. As for the 91 LSC I have, it is a decent car to drive and as I noted it drives better than a 2016 Kia Soul and Chrysler 200. My '91 has been repainted once and I'm thinking it was part of the recall on the Mark VIIs for their poor paint. Despite...

Wow, and even in the color I like. I bet a dealer will scoop this up and try to flip it for $$$.

Thank you. I sent you a PM here.

I've given thought about buying another Mark VII at some point maybe to hot rod I've had some very unique daily driverish cars including a 68 Coronet 2dr Hardtop with a 318, manual steering, manual drum brakes, no A/C, cruise or that jazz. The Mark VII is a decent car. The crazy thing is that it...

Thank you. Most newer cars will wax my old 71 Challenger R/T Clone I'd use to own too and much less a lot of big block classic cars. Man, that was a cramped car haha with it own issues haha. But, anyways congrats on the MKS. I think some of the newer Lincolns are sharp cars. I have my 2004 Dodge...

Any older car is going to be temperamental. I've also had newer cars that were as well. In fact, right now there is a TSB for the throttle body replacement on the 3.7L V6 Mustangs which rumor has that will not be produced after 2018. As for parts, it's always good to start collecting parts as...

I do like the way they look and they are unique. In some of my ways I consider myself an oddball so this car kind of fits that and obviously Ford/Lincoln is not making these cars anymore. The V6 Mustang and Camaro do have better performance. Now, the only thing is that both of them are not as...

Well, it might be more a play car but, I wanted somewhat daily driver friendly. The Mark VIII would potentially replacing a 79 Chrysler Cordoba with a carb'd 360, 3spd automatic, and 2.45 gears haha. Just to give a background I also just picked up this 1991 Lincoln Mark VII from a Mark VII club...

Hello all, I will make this short. I stumbled across this forum upon doing research. I'm just wondering if it is worth to purchase a Mark VIII? I've read mixed reviews on the car. I've thinking of using one has an every other day driver and cruiser/fun car. I see they are cheap but, cheap...
