Hello all, I hope all is well with you and your families!
I just wanted to introduce myself... my name is Elias and I am originally from Virginia Beach, VA. I have been here in Downers Grove, Illinois for almost 2 years now. I am the proud new owner of a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII with 39K miles.
I previously had a 2003 Mercury Marauder as my daily driver but it felt like it was too similar to my Fleetwood... so I began looking for a classy coupe to replace the Marauder since we have no children. I drove everything from C5 Vettes, to Eldorados, to G35 Coupes.. and finally the Mark VIII. The Mark VIII was cheaper than the rest, so it offered me plenty of modification money
I purchased this car from Destroyer (Nick) on the forum. I have known him for a couple years now and it just happened he was pondering the idea of selling his Mark... so I jumped on the opportunity; especially after driving several worn out '97-98s in my area.
Currently the car has tinted windows, 1.5 inch drop springs/shocks, and 18 inch chrome Mustang "Bullitt" wheels.
I plan on adding a tune, 4.10 gears, headers, 2.5 inch catback with Magnaflow Ultra SS mufflers, and eventually a supercharger.
My show car is a modified 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood that I have been building since 2005. This winter it is getting a T56 6 speed manual
Here are a few pics of the Mark, Marauder, and Fleetwood:
