This is my wife's 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC Collectors Series.It is a sporty and fast 2 door coupe that seats 5. We are the second owners. We bought it from our neighbor in 2008. My wife likes it but wanted a 4-door since the children are older and don't like climbing in. Not included in option list above is heated driver and passenger seats, both work fine. Car has automatic climate control and the A/C blows cold. There are NO engine or transmission issues at all and NO leaks of anything.


I changed the air ride system to the coil and shock refit. The lower and upper control arms were all replaced and aligned in Nov 2012. There were too many components to the air ride that seemed to always need some attention. It runs great and rides well. Most of our miles were highway since the children's school was 23 miles one way. She gets around 23 miles a gallon on the road.

These cars are notorious for the linkage breaking that controls the heater door that directs hot air into the car. Mine did break. $5 dollar part and $350 in labor. I did it myself using instructions from the Lincoln Owners Group (free to join and extremely helpful). Per suggestions from the group I placed a brass sleeve over the part to make sure it never broke again and also modified the linkage arm to prevent excessive pressure.

You can see in the pictures that the car isn't perfect. Paint is great with NO clearcoat peeling. There are some spots on the door trim where paint has come off the edges as well as the drivers side mirror at the base. The interior is beige. The seats show some wear but there is no holes or tears in the leather.

The LSC  has a few nice options like larger intake ports and no speed restrictor like the other Mark VIII's. There are a couple other differences that I forgot.

There are 7 known problems with this car, other than tires I feel they are minor issues. We tried the police interceptor tires on it. Mistake, made the ride too hard for my liking. They need to be replaced very soon. 2, The fuel door release at the drivers seat doesn't always release. You can hear it actuate but not always enough to open the door. There is a pull release in the trunk. 3, the fan motor is sometimes intermittent. The connector may be loose. 4, the rear view mirror is in position but is loose. 5, the computer that monitors the cars systems alerts an air ride error because the system is bypassed. 6, the drivers seat control panel is loose. 7, the chrome covers on the window controls on the drivers door came off but the switches work. just fine.

Included in the sale is an extra pair of rims, one right and one left. A friend parted out a wrecked Mark VII with the same wheels so I bought them just in case. I'm told they retail for $800 each from Lincoln. Also bought from him was a drivers airbag and 4 or 5 cylinder coils.

This is a fine and solid car, NO rust and NO rattles. Always been a southern car bought here in Lawrenceburg and always owned here. I feel you could drive this car anywhere without mechanical issues BUT it is used and is being sold as-is and no warranty.

Feel free to ask questions. I will check my messages every evening.

Lincoln dons the Black Label

Mon, 17 Nov 2014



"We're really trying to simplify for the customer on their terms." - Paul Bucek
Lincoln is launching a Black Label service and customization program in December at 32 dealerships across the country in a bid to attract new and more upscale customers.

Lincoln prepping MKZ re-launch?

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Launching 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.

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

It seems like the retro design aesthetic in autos might be petering out, with even a former poster child like the Ford Mustang taking a step in a more modern direction. Sometimes those updates of old-school models really worked well, though. Just take a look above at the Lincoln Continental concept from 2002 that took the extruded shape of the 1960s version and updated it for the new millennium.
Now there's a chance for this gorgeous concept to take a spot in your garage, as RM Auctions is selling it as part of a 130-plus-car, no-reserve auction of the Sam Pack Collection on November 14 and 15, in Dallas, TX. Among the lots for sale are a number of Fords, including several recent concepts from the brand. "My collecting philosophy is simple: buy what I like, but always with an emphasis on quality," Pack said in the auction announcement.
The Continental concept absolutely nails the mix of modern and retro. Its perfectly crisp lines make the shape appear hewn from a single piece of metal, and there's just the slightest ornamentation with the angled, chrome slats in the grille and chrome strips over the wheel arches. It even retains the suicide doors from its inspiration.
