I have a 1988 Lincoln Mark VII LSC GTC Stage II - 5.0 HO V8.
I have a few questions about it's history, rarity, value (even though it will never be sold).
My Dad was the 2nd owner of this car, purchasing it in 1989. The original owner had many upgrades done to the car through C&C - Cars & Concepts which apparently is no longer operation. Although there is a C&C, my guess is this one didn't become operational until the mid to late 90's. New owners maybe? There is a plaque on the dash of the car, with a number.
I know most Marks are the LSC, and from what I know from my Dad, this car is actually a LSC GTC. He said because of this, the car is a one of a kind. Whether this is correct or not, I have no idea. Another reason I am here looking for answers.
Now for what I am looking for..... How many Mark VII's GTC's were made for each year of that model 1984-1989?
Any information anyone here can give me on the GTC's with the Roush upgrade would be greatly appreciated, or even someone to point me in the right direction as to what I am looking for.
Here are a few of the specs...
1. C&C GTC Stage I ($4,500.00)
