1997 Lincoln Mark Viii Lsc 2-door Coupe 4.6l Rare Black On Black on 2040-cars
West Palm Beach, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII Rare Black on Black. I purchased the car in 2006 with somewhere around 85k miles and have barely driven it. Around 3 to 4 years ago I began a job that required 2 hours of driving each way, So the car was replaced by a 40 mpg car and the Mark VIII not driven much after that. There are no major problems at all. No accidents. Interior and exeterior are in good to great condition. The suspension has been converted to regular springs, eliminating the very problematic Air Ride. You wouldn't believe how much the systems can cost you just trying to diagnose the problem. The car runs and drives Great! Has POWER! Since purchasing it I have put a few bucks into the it in terms of performance and the obvious custom paint and wheels. There is a K&N Filter, The upper/lower intake manifold have been ported and polished, The IRMC's have been lightly ported and polished, True Posi Rear-end with 373 gearing Installed by the Lincoln Dealership, Custom Exhaust(Sounds VERY Nice), 18" Cobra Saleen wheels, Custom Performix Brand Plasti-dip (Very Cool Stuff) Paint job with a layer of Glossifier to give a satin sheen, Wheels have also been done. This was a Non-Smoker car. Minor wear on the driver seat, No tears or rips though. The only minor problems are... I replaced the Rear Neon light and Ballast when I purchased the car, but the light stopped working while the car was not being used(Must be a connection). Cup holder and ash tray cover are not functional. While driving this car I absolutely loved it. It took me about a year to find the Black on Black color combination with decent mileage. I have taken care of her and now I would like to let someone else take care her. It was a Great car and I am SURE you will love it and enjoy it too. KBB.com value is $3,600 to $4,400 Please feel free to ask me any questions about the car you like and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Good Luck! Thanks for looking! |

Lincoln reveals MKC compact crossover ahead of LA debut [w/video]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It used to be that if you wanted a luxury SUV, you had to go big. Just look at the first high-riders released by some of the major luxury automakers - Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX - and you'll see what we mean. But since 2009 the small premium crossover segment has grown a whopping 200 percent, so it's no surprise that each has followed up with smaller luxury crossovers. And this is the latest.
At the other end of the utility spectrum from the Navigator, the new Lincoln MKC is based on the Ford Escape (much as the old pseudo-premium Mercury Mariner was), but completely rebodied and luxed up to put it in another league. Although we're still not sold on Lincoln's family fascia, the grille treatment on the MKC is certainly one of the better variations on the theme to date. The Dart-like rear lights dominate the wrap-around tailgate, and the overall shape looks taut and upscale. The same can be said of the dynamically-designed interior, taking the concept revealed in Detroit earlier this year to production fairly seamlessly.
Power will come from a choice of EcoBoost four-cylinder engines with turbocharging and direct injection: a 2.0-liter with 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, or a slightly punchier new 2.3-liter with 275 hp and 300 lb-ft. Lincoln didn't disclose what transmission they'll be mated to, but did note that the MKC carries the brand's "signature" push-button gear shifter. It comes standard in front drive, but buyers who upgrade to all-wheel drive (or tick the right box) will also benefit from a new adaptive suspension Lincoln calls Continuously Controlled Damping. Other features include an approach-detection system that lights the car up and projects a Lincoln "welcome mat" on the pavement when you get close to the car, and a "bread-crumbing" feature that lets you track where your vehicle has been.
Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Launching an all-new car is no easy task. Case in point is the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, introduced with the fanfare of a major nationwide marketing campaign, including expensive Super Bowl ads, just as Ford was curbing production over potential quality issues. The resulting mess was nothing short of a nightmare for any automaker - customers visiting dealerships looking for cars that hadn't been delivered yet. Disappointed buyers walked out of Lincoln retailers without new keys in their hands, or switched to a competing brand to fill empty spaces in their driveways.
The impact was painful, as Lincoln's sales in January and February of this year were among the lowest it has recorded in more than a quarter century. Even though March looked a bit brighter, with the supply crisis reportedly over (there are 3,000 units in transit and production is approaching 200 units per day) the automaker is reportedly studying the feasibility of giving its pivotal MKZ the launch it originally deserved.
According to TheDetroitBureau.com, putting the MKZ back on consumer's radar could cost Ford tens of millions of dollars, but that kind of investment may be warranted if potential buyers have forgotten about the new model... or worse, if they have forgotten about Lincoln.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
