Lincoln : Mark Series

UP FOR BID IS MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII WITH 75,460 ACTUAL MILES ON IT.  ORIGINALLY A  FLORIDA CAR, IT HAS NEVER SEEN SNOW.  THIS BEAUTY HAS BEEN WELL CARED.  I STARTED WITH A COMPLETE CUSTOM PAINT JOB AND REFURBISHING MOST OF THE INTERIOR.  THE SEATS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED WITH MELLOHIDE, FRONT AND REAR, FOR THE EASE OF CARE AND THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN TREATED TO SOME CUSTOM EMBROIDERY.  THE SNAKE LOGO WAS USED WITH PERMISSION BY LINCOLNMOTORSPORT.COM.  THE INTERIOR IS IN GREAT CONDITION, NEW FLOOR MATS, EVERYTHING WORKS. 

I PAINTED THE FLAMES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND SIMULATED WOOD GRAIN ON THE INTERIOR, IT IS AWESOME.  THE PAINT IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, ONLY ABOUT 8 MONTHS OLD AND RARELY DRIVEN.  NO DOOR DINGS, DENTS, OR SCRATCHES.   THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH LSC TYPE PIECES AS WELL AS THE BODY SIDE MOLDINGS.  FIT AND FINISH ARE EXCELLENT, SOMEBODY ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT.  THE TRUE FIRE COMES TO LIFE WHEN THE SUN HITS IT. 

A FULL CUSTOM BENT EXHAUST SYSTEM HAS BEEN INSTALLED WITH AN X-PIPE AND 2.5" ALUMINIZED EXHAUST PIPING.  STAINLESS STEEL MAGNAFLOW MUFFLERS HANDLE THE EXHAUST NOTES AND EXIT THROUGH POLISHED CORVETTE EXHAUST TIPS.  I KNOW, PUTTING GM PARTS ON A FORD IS A CRIME, BUT THEY FIT PERFECT.  THE TONE IS VERY PLEASENT AND NO CABIN DRONE IS HEARD. 

THE AIR RIDE SYSTEM IS NEWER, HOLDS ITS RIDE HEIGHT GREAT.  I ADJUSTED THE SENSORS TO LOWER IT, IF YOU WANT IT SET BACK TO STOCK RIDE HEIGHT, IT IS EASY TO DO.  IT ROLLS ON CUSTOM DRILLED AND PAINTED 20" WHEELS AND 245/35/20 NITTO TIRES WITH AT LEAST 85% TREAD LEFT ON THEM, I HAD THE TIRES FROM ANOTHER CAR. 

THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAS ALSO BEEN UPGRADED WITH POWDERCOATED COBRA CALIPERS AND CROSS DRILLED ROTORS, AND STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE LINES IN THE FRONT WITH PERFORMANCE FRICTION BRAKE PADS.  THE ROTORS WERE DRILLED OUT TO WORK ON THE LINCOLN HUB.  THE REARS CALIPERS WERE ALSO POWDERCOATED AND CROSS DRILLED ROTORS ADDED WITH NEW BRAKE PADS, ALL BRAKE FLUID FLUSHED AND FILLED.

THE TRANSMISSION IS FRESHLY REBUILT.  I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH A BAD TRANNY IN IT.  DURING THE REBUILD, HEAVY DUTY PARTS WERE INSTALLED INCLUDING THE TORQUE CONVERTER, CLUTCHES  AND SERVOS.  THEY ALSO ADDED A TRANSGO SHIFT REPROGRAMMING KIT FOR THE 4R70W.  THE SHIFTS ARE FIRM BUT CLASSY UNDER HEAVIER ACCELARATION AND SOFTER UNDER NORMAL.  SYNTHETIC FLUID WAS ALSO ADDED FOR A LONGER LIFE.  THIS CAR ALSO GETS GREAT MILEAGE FOR THE ENGINE, ABOUT 17 CITY AND 23 HIGHWAY. 

BASIC REPAIRS WERE DONE AS FOLLOWS UNDER MY OWNERSHIP.  NEW ALUMINUM RADIATOR, FLUSH AND FILL, NEW IDLE AIR CONTROL, FRONT OUTER SWAY BAR LINKS, FULL SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE DONE ONLY 500 MILES AGO AND REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH.  AIR CONDITIONING HAD A LEAK ON AN O-RING, REPLACED IT, RECHARGED IT, AND WORKS GREAT ON THOSE HOT DAYS.  2 KEYPADS INCLUDED AS WELL AS 2 KEYS.

THE STEREO IN THE CABIN IS UNBELIEVELABLY CLEAN AND CLEAR.  I STARTED OUT WITH AN ALPINE CDA-9885 WITH REMOTE.  XM RADIO IS CONTROLLED THROUGH THE HEAD UNIT AS WELL AS THE CD PLAYER.  FOUR INFINITY 5X7 SPEAKERS WERE INSTALLED IN THE DOORS AND IN THE REAR PANELS.  

TWO AMPS CONTROL ALL THE OUTPUTS INCLUDING THE INFINITY SPEAKERS AS WELL AS A AUDIOBAHN 500 WATT 12" SUB IN A BAND PASS BOX.  ALL NEATLY ASSEMBLED AND ANCHORED TO THE TRUNK FOR TROUBLE FREE OPERATION.  AMPS ARE AUDIOBAHN AS WELL.

THE REASON FOR MY SELLING IT IS TO PERSUE ANOTHER VENTURE THAT I HAVE PLANNED.  I HAVE REBUILT THIS CAR TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD BECAUSE I HAD PLANNED ON KEEPING IT FOR SOME TIME, PLANS CHANGE.  MY RESERVE ON THIS CAR IS LESS THAN THE CASH I HAVE IN IT, NOT INCLUDING MY TIME TO DO THE WORK.  I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE ENJOY IT IF I CANT.

I replaced the plugs and wires due to a slight hesitation today, runs even better.  I also had the factory recall on the cruise control done today also.  They installed a fuse assembly on it to correct the problem.  A vehicle inspection was performed at the Ford dealer and came back perfect, the mechanic was pleased with the overall condition of this car for its age.  No mechanical issues, I have the report to show the winning bidder if needed.  Also, I have drove my car a few times in the past week since listing.  The correct mileage is 75565.  It may have a few more on it by the close of the auction, but nothing major.  Thanks
