After all these years, guess who finally bought one?

[American Air-1]

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!

 

[Calabrio]

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

 

[KC96LSC]

Congratulations!!!! Very Nice!!!

Congrats Eddie.

 

[BAD97LSC]

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...

 

[LaserSVT]

Wow Eddie, that thing is beautiful!!

 

[American Air-1]

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!

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

 

[Moes8]

Nah, I bought it for a test car for new air products. Have a few toys in mind, one of which I'll probably INC. or LLC. before it makes its way on the market.
