Miami, FL(Home of the rust free MARK VIII's
While I was shopping around for my 1st Mark VIII back in 2008 I ran across this very car at a dealership. It was SUPER CLEAN. It had 109,000 miles on it back then if I'm not mistaking. In 4 years this car has been beat to sh!t. I'm shocked to see the raggedy interior, the mismatched trim & most of all, the chipping paint. Asking price back in 2008 was $4,700 & it had bad front air ride. I wouldn't pay that guy more than $1,700 for it now the way it is.

Note: I know it's the same car because of the Italian flag right below the "VIII" in the rear neon. It's the 1st thing I noticed on the car when I went to see it 4 years ago.

Looks a bit like the Silver '98 LSC I just sold. My drivers seat was worse when I got it. Exterior was better but it took me forever to sell it anyway :rolleyes:
 
the chipping paint looks kinda like those stickers meant to replicate gun shots

what was wrong with it

There was rust all over it. He bought it @ dusk & didn't notice the rust in the engine bay, bottom of the door, etc... Car is long gone though. I ran across the car about 5 months after he sold it to a "street car dealer". It had a for sale sign on it. I call the guy up & ask him about the price. Guy tells me the car is a "Special Cobra Edition with added horsepower" It's prepared for "racing" & it has many performance parts. When I ask him about the rust, he says it's nothing & it can be fixed with $300.

One thing's for sure, that car looked so damn nice! Here it is next to my late '93.
