Must sell quickly;
1994 Lincoln Mark VIII, White with Black cloth top. (People think it’s a police car)
134,655 miles
Reason: Leaving the state, was my Dads car, he is a WWII vet and can no longer drive.
The Good,
• Replaced Air ride with Coil struts/shocks, less than 3000 miles ago (about 1 ½ years ago.)
• Tires have about 3000 miles, they are Falken FK-452 (I think, I’ll have to look when I get pics, I know the tires were about $450 installed)
• Have new A-arms (not installed) Moog, still in the box.
• Engine is still strong and she can glide to 120MPH with ease.
< But you didn’t hear that.
>
• Still gets 20MPG in town and up to 30MPG on the Interstate.
• AC is still going strong, and very cold still! (I replaced the AC/Heater auto controller already)
The normal;
• Overdrive stutters when shifting (and not always),
• Leaks some oil from the engine (not enough to warrant adding any between changes; it really needs a new oil plug.)
• Added lights to the grill so you can see at night (Headlight silver has the dreaded ‘peeling, and has a lot less light amplification.)
• Driver seat has some leather peal; I have some cheap seat covers on them for him now.
• Steering is getting ‘slack’ it could be the A-Arm or Powers steering pump, don’t have time to investigate. (Only when setting still or under about 15MPH)
The Bad;
• Needs the A-Arms replaced (not wearing the tires unevenly though, see above, I have them already, no time to put on for him.)
• Center Console cover is loose, but still have.
• Drivers door handle is broken, but works (I have a new replacement, never put it on.)
• The radio/CD player works when it wants too. (CD cuts in and out but radio works)
• O2 Sensors need replaced; the CEL (check engine light) will come on under heavy acceleration. (No codes stay in the computer though)
I’ve worked in Auto Parts for about 20 years, I bought this car for Dad a few years ago (remember $1.50 for gas?) and Dad never drove it too much after his stroke, I kept it maintained for him and drove it occasionally. I know what can go wrong with these 300HP cars and what is good about them. I just have no need for 3 cars, plus I have to move 600 miles, so this one have to go, although I do love the power. So I am packing the family (of course my Dad too!) and moving.
<Sorry, Pictures did not load, give me another day on this.>
Price: $1000 or Best offer, need to sell before middle of June.
