I just acquired a 1998 Collector's Edition w/60k!!!

Its true.

All the money and energy put into 3 marks can equal one badass blown mark.

I don't know how much loot is tied up in the OPs marks, but I have about 10gs in mine with the $4500 I paid for it. Add a supercharger and thats around another 5gs. I doubt Alex has 15gs tied up in 3 marks. The second one is a $1000 car. I wouldn't pay more than $2500-$3000 for the CE. Plus I think the CE may end being his dads, so no money there. So unless he has 11 grand in the 93, I don't think he could have a blown mark for what hes got in the three.

Great find Alex! Is it registered yet? Tower shops tonight?

Should be registered by this afternoon however I don't get outta work until 7pm or so on Mondays & Fridays. SUCKS BALLS!!!

Nice!!!
We need more pics!

More pics to come, thats a promise!

I understand your point of view however I can't sell my 2 sh!tty Marks right now. My 93 is undergoing issues, I can't sell it like that, otherwise I won't get more than $1,300 for it & this is the way my 97 looks right now in my back yard! I doubt anyone will buy it like this!

+1

Once I fix the 93 & paint the 97 I will asess what I have & depending on what I can get for both I will either keep them both or sell them then buy the CE! My father told me this morning that he wants to drive the car as he is intrigued with my particular interest in them & he remembers always wanting one when they first came out! He's not going to keep it though as his V8 days are long over.

You know to be quite honest with you I'm not fond of this color at all but I've grown accustomed to it!

Uh oh... now you'll never get to learn the secret Codovan CE handshake.

For the right price. I'd buy it in May when I get my money as a parts car, throw my old junk on it and resell.

 

[lsc8]

good score.

 

[lincolnboy]

I hate when I have to drive this one again. Good thing its not running @ the moment. http://m.flickr.com/photo.gne?id=4657591153&

Ok, so now I have to scramble to get both of my Mark VIII's up to par... I'd like to keep the 93 so the plan for now is to hurry up, paint that 97 nicely & see hoe much bang for my buck I can get & give the cash to my father fast!

I'd like to keep the Collector's Edition AS IS!!! Just fix it nicely but keep it at normal height, OEM wheels, all OEM & only use it on weekends, a nice road trip, etc...

 

[My Great 8]

You don't know how to keep a car OEM. Who are you kidding!!!

 

[DieselDan]

Does tuis mean you are gonna make your sig even longer? Sheesh...

 

[02LS8Lincoln]

Alex just to let you know that if you plan on selling the 93 i got first dibs on it....just fix that tranny issue....then ill have a black LS and a black Mark VIII in my drive way.

 

[mespock]

Alright guys, long story short I've had my eye on this Mark VIII for over a year. It's been sitting for about 2 years!

Stalker ... LOL ... Nice find!

Well between us my idea is to keep both the CE & the 93. I'm haulin @ss to prepare the 97 for paint in the next 10 days or so. Paint it in the next month & slap a forsale sign! The transmission on my 93 is not bad, it's the IAC. It was reving so high that the tranny simply doesn't know when to shift! The car is sitting inside De Colores. There's a mechanic that leases a space there that's family of my father in law. He's taking care of that for me!

Now if I have no choice but to sell the 93 then for sure I'll be giving you a call!

Stalker ... LOL ... Nice find!

Yeah, can't help it! That's the same way I got the white 96 I had last year. I had my eye on that car for over 3 years!

 

[UltimateSVT]

Very true... It's just so hard though for me to do that to this car. It's so f**kin nice!

Does tuis mean you are gonna make your sig even longer? Sheesh...

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! Great idea! Thanks!!!!!!!

 

[02LS8Lincoln]

Let me know when you get the 97 painted.

 

[UltimateSVT]

Alright guys, here are some pictures of this weekend's activities done to the CE! Did some wet sanding & brightened up those headlamps, then painted those sun baked parts on the car! Looks beautiful!

 

[BAD97LSC]

you must have like 60 cans of that color, between the 97, rich's red car, and the 98 ce lol my god, you should have stock with duplicolor.

Nah, lol... Actually 2 cans that I used on the 97, 2 cans on the 98 & Rich & Elliott brought their own paint to my house when I painted that toreador red one. Granted, this time I didn't have to paint the bottom part of the neon, I didn't paint the driver's side tail lamp nor the passenger side light.

 

[Stangman]

That sir, is a beautiful car. Congratulations.
