I have decided to sell my prized Lincoln Mark VIII. I have always loved the style of these cars, particularly in black, and have enjoyed both of the models I have owned. Both the previous owner and myself used this car as a "sunny day" car. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN THROUGH AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH!! That's why the original black paint is SWIRL FREE!! There is absolutely no rust on the car anywhere. The car has always been keep clean and inside, away from the sun and elements. The headlight lenses look clear because they are! No attempted cleanups/short term polish jobs; these are new OEM (now low mileage) parts. This car is as nice a Mk VIII as I have seen. No dents, dings, etc...none. The car is straight. There are a few inevitable stone chips on the front fascia and hood, but that's it. Very, very nice car with all the necessary upgrades and fixes.

If you know about these cars, you know there were only about 24,000 of these Gen II Mark VIIIs made. The last of the US-built 2-door personal luxury cars, there were a lot of "firsts" designed into these cars, such as the first domestically-built car to feature HID headlamps, and the rear neon light panel. They were also the first cars to use the DOHC Ford modular engine and boasted extensive use of aluminum to lighten the car for greater performance. The list of standard features is long, and I believe there were only 5 options available on the cars, aside from LSC vs. standard, colors, wheel type, etc. The 5 options were the cell phone, moonroof, heated seats, universal garage door remote, and CD player. You could also decline the traction control if desired. This car is equipped with the CD player, garage door remote, and this car has traction control.

I found this car in 2009 in central Florida (Lakeland). At the time I had another black '98 LSC that was an original Michigan car. The Michigan car was nice, but I wanted a nicer one since I really enjoyed the style and driveability of these cars. I had learned a lot about these cars owning the first one, and had purchased a lot of parts for the MI car, most of which were swapped onto this car before selling the MI car. Below is a partial list of some of the new OEM and aftermarket parts I was able to improve this already sanitary Florida car with. These parts all had less than 10,000 miles on them when I put them on this car and have only accumulated 20,000 miles since transfer:

- Motorcraft air struts

- Ford complete HID headlamp assemblies

- A 24,000 mile rear neon assembly

- DynoTech Mark VIII aluminum driveshaft

- American Air Suspensions high performance suspension air compressor, also American Air "spider" valve with dryers (for air system)

- 3 Motorcraft air suspension solenoids and 4 line kits

- 17" Fittipaldi wheels/Pirelli P Zero tires

Other parts that were purchased new for this car include:

- Windshield

- Rear shock mount set

- Moog anti-sway bar bushings, strut rod mounts

- 8 Motorcraft ignition coils, NGK iridium spark plugs

- Raybestos ceramic brake pads, rotors, and brake hat "shims" to correct runout

- Motorcraft engine cooling fan and fan connector

- Heating/air conditioning blend door servo (involves extensive labor to install...common Mark VIII problem)

- Motorcraft alternator and battery

- K&N air filter

- Stainless steel Magnaflow mufflers

- "Wheelskins" leather steering wheel wrap

- Motorcraft a/c accumulator/drier and pressure switch

- Ford OEM water manifold, purge plug, hoses

- Reinhart Automotive tuner pendant with 2 calibrations

- Rear backlight trim (to eliminate "wrinkling" of OEM trim)

- Belt and idler

- Much more!

All receipts are included with this car, including receipts and CarFax from previous owner, who purchased the car when it was 3 years old from the original owner, who had leased it then bought it outright. All accessories and spares I have for this car are included in the purchase. This includes 2 HID headlamp assemblies with 2 spare HID bulbs! Also a car cover, an engine dress cover (only available in '97), factory brochures, an extra CD magazine for the WORKING CD PLAYER, an optional voice-actuated cellphone, a driver's seat frame with motors, and more.

A few other notes. Regarding trades; the reason I am selling this car is to finance an upgrade to my motorcycle. I am wanting to replace my BMW GS with a newer one. So if you have a 2009 or newer BMW R1200GSA, we can talk. Also, regarding the underhood cleanliness of the car. I'm not a huge fan of washing engines of vehicles of this vintage. However, I have the facilities and if after driving the car to confirm performance you would like to have it cleaned I'll be happy to accommodate for an additional $50 (the coil covers/coils must be removed on these cars after cleaning to blow away all water from the wells).

If there are any questions or additional photos you would like to see, please ask! And good luck!

IMPORTANT ADDITION!!

Bidders must have at least 25 deals at 100% to bid or contact me first! I will cancel future bids otherwise. I want this auction to follow protocols please. These auctions must be taken seriously, and followed as a contract.

I will have limited internet access over the coming weekend and into the end of the auction. Sorry, this was my fault for late planning. Please contact me via eBay and I will be able to handle questions semi-regularly. I wouldn't advise waiting until the last minute.

Thank you!

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America

Wed, May 27 2015

Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Lincoln scales back free maintenance

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

Complimentary scheduled maintenance programs have been great tools for luxury automakers to draw in new customers, but some are starting to scale their programs back considerably. According to Automotive News, Lincoln is joining Jaguar and Volvo on the list of automakers reducing the length of time it will be providing free maintenance to its customers.
Lincoln's four-year/50,000-mile maintenance program first kicked off as an incentive in 2010 and became permanent later that year, but starting with the 2014 model year, this will be cut to just two years and 24,000 miles. This could make short-term leases even more appealing for some consumers, but according to Automotive News, some Lincoln dealers are unhappy with the scaling back. The move admittedly comes at an odd time for Lincoln, with parent Ford seemingly working hard to increase consideration among luxury buyers as it looks to reverse the marque's long decline.
