Looking for a Lincoln Mark VIII
If any of the onboard car dealers or members run across a sweet 95-98 Mark VIII with low miles I might be a candidate. I'm not in any big hurry but have cash when the right car presents itself. I'm in Ga and would probably travel up to 500 miles for the right car!

There was a story in the local paper about a golf caddy (on the PGA tour level) that got a 10 year drug sentence/ went to jail/ got out and won a major tournament with a PGA player. When asked what he was going to do first, he responded he was buying a 98 Mark VIII. He always wanted one and he bought it along with a townhouse in the area with his first big league check (200K++) after getting out of jail.
What makes those Lincolns so great?

Joe Spina has a 1998 black one with 40,000 original miles with a sunroof sitting in his garage. It's in excellent shape and he might be willing to part with it. Call his cell at 941-650-7112 if you're interested.

They are IMHO an excellent compromise! They haul ass if ya want,handling flirting with a Vette,very efficient(when I tried a 65MPH hwy trip @65 got 32+)...and cruise like a dream. Have an H of a trunk if ya need ta haul a bunch(which I do). Very Hi-Tech for an American car at the time. I'm very Pro-American. I owned a 96 and put 50K on it and sold it when I divorced....had ta have somen ta pull the boat and the you know what got the duelley ta pull her horse trailer. Ya outta take one out for a spin...but then ya might become competition! They are so cheap for what they are....but they are becoming outdated with issues...LSC's...headlamps.....air suspension...many are converting to springs(which IMO kills them). The air suspension is speed sensitive and lowers the front end at a certain speed....on and on!
