Just picked up a new Daily driver!

Well yesterday i had no intention of actually buying the car, but i ended up not being able to walk away. Picked up a Lincoln Mark VIII, 98', last year they made em. Have to say i thought the v10 motors were some smooth powerplants, but they cant hold a light bulb up to the 4.6 DOHC. Already have a Mark VII with 59k miles on the 5.0 and love this new new car twice as much. pics to come

The 97-98 Mark VIII is my favorite Lincoln. I almost bought one last year but talked myself out of it. I love the neon tail lights of those years. Drove a 94 version and can attest to the engine. It is awesome.

Let me know if you need any parts.
I have a '98 MkVIII that I bought for the engine.
Happy to get rid of parts for nada for an FTE brother.

If I have it, it's yours.
All I care about is the engine and harness.
I'll go up and take a picture or two for you. I've had it in storage for so long I don't remember much.
BTW that's a beautiful car.

Yes indeed, a very good example of the Mark. Maybe when the funds permit I will find one I like and bring it home.

Usually, the best finds are those you "stumble across".

Very nice-looking Mark!

May it serve you well!
