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 recalls more than 550,000 trucks and SUVs for various safety issues

Wed, Aug 12 2020

Ford announced safety recalls for its current F-150 pickup along with several Ford and Lincoln crossovers early Wednesday. The recalls cover more than 550,000 vehicles and address various safety defects, ranging from a fire hazard to potential loss of braking power.  The most far-reaching of the recalls covers approximately 550,000 examples of the 2015-2018 Ford Edge and 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX, which may have been assembled with defective front brake jounce hoses (also commonly referred to as "flex lines"). These hoses run from fixed points on the chassis to the individual front brake calipers. Defective hoses could potentially rupture, allowing brake fluid to leak and resulting in a loss of braking function. Ford will replace the components in question with revised parts.  The next-largest recall is for roughly 3,000 2020 Lincoln Corsair crossovers. The affected models may have been assembled without proper clearance between their rear suspension springs and toe link brackets. The components could potentially make contact, wearing down the protective coating on the rear coil springs, allowing corrosion to occur over time. This corrosion could eventually lead to a failure of the spring. If this happens while the vehicle is being driven, it could result in a sudden change to the vehicle's handling characteristics, and the spring fragments could potentially cause further damage to the car or surrounding traffic.  Ford says owners will be notified that their Corsairs need to be inspected; if there is not adequate clearance between the rear suspension components, Ford's service technicians will remove material from the toe link bracket to allow for operation without contact.  The final (and by far the smallest) recall is for the 2020 F-150. Some units may have left the factory with the incorrect retention nut on the hot lead to the starter motor. Ford says it can cause increased heat generation or electrical arcing, which could potentially result in a fire. Ford says this issue is limited to just a few hundred examples sold in the United States. Dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the nut if necessary.       

Lincoln reveals the posh and powerful 2018 Navigator

Wed, Apr 12 2017

If you were a fan of the Navigator concept from last year's New York show, we've got good news. The production Navigator looks just like it. Sure there are subtle changes. The gullwing doors are gone, but no one should be surprised by that. A side effect is that it has conventional chrome door handles, too. The lower grille in the front bumper is a tad different, and the rear taillights are a bit thicker, but the overall look has stayed the same. That includes the tall, regal grille with a mesh consisting of Lincoln badge outlines, the side vents on the fenders, and those beautiful, intricate turbine wheels. On the top-of-the-line Black Label models, the Navigator gets an illuminated badge that lights up with the puddle lights when the driver approaches. View 15 Photos Since the Navigator is based on the Ford Expedition, it's unsurprising that they're very similar mechanically. The Navigator has aluminum construction, and it's propelled by a version of the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 found in so many Ford products. However, the Navigator's engine makes an impressive 450 horsepower compared with the expected 375 horsepower from the Expedition. Those plush ponies goes through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the Navigator stays true to the concept, and most important, shares essentially nothing with the plebeian Expedition. Like in the concept, the dashboard is low and wide and features plenty of wood and leather. The instrument panel is a configurable 12-inch display, and to its right is an upright, floating touch screen for infotainment. The buttons for shifting hang off the trailing edge of the dashboard, where a gap opens between it and the center console. The console houses the climate control buttons, and rises to meet the dash. Aside from the luxurious dash, occupants are treated to the Continental's 30-way adjustable front seats, which are heated and cooled. The interior should be whisper quiet as well, thanks to laminated front and side glass. This should allow passengers to better enjoy the available 20-speaker Revel II sound system even more. Plenty of gizmos and tech are at the fingertips of Navigator drivers, too. One of the more unique tidbits of technology are the adaptive headlights. At low speeds, the headlight beam is very wide to illuminate objects or pedestrians on the sides of the road. However, at high speeds, the beam narrows to reduce glare from street signs.

2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*

Wed, 21 May 2014

Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.
