Numbered car 216 Special Edition with low miles. Purchased from original owner. Garage Kept. The pictures speak for themselves.
Two minor scratches.
The sleek styling of the exterior combined with the elegant interior with its soft leather seats and computerized status readout make this a unique automobile. The air-ride suspension makes you feel like you’re floating at times. At other times the sports tuned suspension lets you corner like the car was painted on the road. The body styling and chrome wheels absolutely turn heads and gate guards will think twice before questioning your right to enter. With the best possible combination of features offering Lincoln class and comfort combined with Ford’s powerhouse InTech 32-valve engine when you drive this Mark VIII you do truly own the road.
At 290 horsepower and 295 feet pounds of torque, the Mark VIII’s 4.6-liter overhead-cam V-8 provides tons of smooth, seamless power. With its high-performance exhaust note adding an element of nostalgia, this hot-rod Lincoln can't decide whether to cruise the country club or show off at the drag strip. It's fast and it's responsive, thanks to the sports suspension that irons out the rough spots while keeping this cruiser remarkably level on curves, thanks to computer-adjusted air springs.
All under the powered moon roof, the interior is lush without being too plush. Supportive leather seats are set in a wide, roomy cabin, all nicely appointed, with an uncluttered dashboard holding gauges and controls that are simple and straightforward. The wide doors make it easy to get in and out of the front and rear seats. The trunk is enormous.
As you’d expect, the Mark VIII comes loaded to the gills with features, some of which are pretty unusual:
*Outside mirrors that tilt down when you back up and with built-in turn signals to warn nearby
drivers of lane changes.
*When the doors are unlocked by remote control, the mirrors illuminate the sides of the car and the
ground with what Lincoln called ''puddle lamps.''
*Neon lighting on the rear deck. The Mark VIII has a neon tube brake light mounted beneath the 48-
inch-wide, deck lid. Makes the car stand out at night.
*High-intensity-discharge (HID), low-beam headlamps that produce 2.7 times more light than halogen
lamps while using much less power. On high beams, they could double as airplane landing lights.
*A computer system that, with the touch of a button, analyzes major mechanical systems, computes
gas mileage, checks the oil, displays the date and time, and tells you which way you're going.
*A steering wheel and front seats that glide out of the way for entry and exit, then powers back into
their programmed place when the ignition key is inserted.
*An absolutely amazing stereo sound system with an eight-speaker, Ford/JBL AM/FM stereo
radio with compact disc.
*It comes with two original Owner’s Guide, Quick Tips Manual, The Benefits of Owning a Lincoln
booklet, and various other papers associated with the car.
*The original sticker price was $41,065.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Never mind the naysayers; Lincoln is worth saving
Fri, 10 Jan 2014
In the case of Henry Leland, naming his new car brand after the first President he cast a vote for in 1864 seemed a jolly good idea, on paper.
You should always be careful about the name you choose to give your new baby. The power of association can work in many ways, not always positive.
Lincoln to resurrect old nameplates for China?
Wed, 04 Dec 2013Judging by the success that many luxury automakers are currently experiencing in China, it's no surprise that Lincoln plans to take advantage of the situation by peddling its wares across the Pacific. Lincoln will open its first Chinese dealership next year, but potential buyers there won't be mucking through the same alphabet soup of car names found in American showrooms. USA Today reports that Ford's luxury car division could revert back to legacy names (like Continental and Zephyr) in China while keeping the MK_ names here in North America.
In speaking to Ford exec Jim Farley during the LA Auto Show, USA Today says that Lincoln could switch its naming structure as models are refreshed. Farley didn't confirm that the naming revamp would be a China-only decision, but article leaves little hope that American buyers will get to see the return of classic names anytime soon.
Why would Ford rehash old Lincoln names for China only? Buyers there seem to have a better historical associations with the nameplates than in the US. Chinese also still hold Lincoln in high regard, associating the marque with use by prominent government officials.
