New Minn Member just bought 1st Mark VIII

[fastmark]

Hi all, I have been looking all over the country for a Mark VIII. It didn't matter if I got just the LSC, only that it be 96' or newer. I was lucky enough to find one in cedar rapids Iowa. It is a 1998 Mark VIII LSC red Collector's Edition. It is a 1 owner and is in great condition (no rust). I'm going to start tinkering with a few things.I took a 7 and 1/2 hr bus ride to buy this car. The 74 yr old gentlemen had this car in his family since new and had a lot of records with the car. Mark

Love the color and looks like a nice clean Gen 2. I see it also has it's own bedroom to sleep at night. I like seeing that. Sometimes mine stays in it's bedroom for days and days at a time. Take a putty knife to that cell phone antenna and get rid of it and you'll like the looks back there a lot better.
