Well gang, I got the itch and will be replacing my 98 LSC with a new ride. I hate to do it, but I can’t pass up the deal I’m getting.
I purchased my Mark VIII from the original owner, a little old lady in DC, just about 3 years ago. It had just a little over 20,000 miles on it at the time, so we’re talking only 2,250 miles per year! She couldn’t drive it anymore and was having trouble parking it in her tiny garage. In fact, her parking issues required that I purchase a replacement front right fender (I didn’t want any bondo work)
Since buying and driving her down to Charlotte, NC I’ve tastefully updated/modified the car with a custom cold-air intake, a Lonnie tune from Blue Oval Chips, 3.73 geared limited-slip diff, professional tint, 18” ADR rims with 245-45x18 Goodyear rubber, 1 3/8” Addco anti-sway bars front and rear, full 2 1/2 “ Duals with double X-over, and U sensor lowered it 1”. The car looks and drives fantastic. I haven’t added up the cost, but I suspect I’ve got over $4000 in the mods alone.
The car is my daily driver and currently has only ~59,000 miles on the clock, so it’s still super low mileage and in excellent condition. I’ve maintained her meticulously (my son is a Master Tech), and have continuously garage parked her at home AND at work. The only thing “wrong” is the big middle brake light, which I suspect could be fixed with a replacement ballast.
Included with the car (at full price) are the original set of 10 spoke chrome rims with tires, the original 3.27 pumpkin, a spare Mass air sensor, and a spare used steering column potentiometer (extremely RARE). For the car and extra parts I’m asking $6,500, which I think is a very fair price. I’ll Ebay her if I have to, but I wanted to offer her to the LOD community first.
The link below "should" get you to a site with photos. The pics out there are about a year old, so I'm going to give her a bath and take a bunch of pics tomorrow and post them ASAP.

There is an accident reported on CarFax which occurred when the original owner's nephew bump someone at a stop sign, but there was no damage. I can send a copy of the accident report via email. Let me know if you have ANY questions.
