Hope a few guys here remember me... Since I stopped being active in the Mark VIII communities I've almost completed by career change to Mechanical Engineering and will start with BP in late June. I've had two kids, a beautiful daughter who is now 2 and a new son born just a week ago. The Mark has been sitting for too long and needs a new owner that can put time into restoring it to it's full potential.
Here are the details:
93 Lincoln Mark VIII (black on black) located north of Houston, TX.
The bad:
============================
-240k miles very small tapping (Probably a bad lifter spring)
-One broken lug on rear
-bad idle air control valve
-Very broken windshield (5" diameter hole but covered, not drivable because of this)
-A/C leaks (works for some time after charging)
-Stereo has short but works at times
-Has been sitting for some time with monthly start-ups
-Paint is very poor on the entire top side
-Passenger seat track does not move (Have extra seat track)
The good (prices of parts when new/now):
============================
-Interior is in great shape with very little wear/cracking of the seats
-Last ran a 13.9 at the track (Engine still very strong)
-3.73 Cobra rear differential (750/200)
-Built transmission to Jerry's specs for 400 HP with Jerry on the -phone to the mechanic and owner. (2000/750)
-Transmission cooler (50/20)
-Custom mandrel bent 2 1/2" exhaust system with X Pipe configuration (700/200)
-96 LSC rear bumper cover to fit exhaust tips
-96 Mustang Cobra timing adjuster (200/100)
-Custom air ride switchs to lower car
-Custom subframe connectors (entire system) (1000/500)
-Modified air intake
-Custom one of a kind alluminum grill (good for 400/400)
-2 Sets of chrome rims (some cracking but can be refinished) (extra set 500/200)
-Programable chip and extra computer (not installed) (350/100)
-Extra A/C controller with strong buttons
=============================
Total of custom parts (5650/2470)
As you can see, it needs some work, but has lots of parts, a few that are one of a kind and you can not get anywhere else.
The price if firm at this time. I might be interested in parting the car later if not sold, but I'd hate for it to come to that and don't have much time to do such a thing right now.
Give me a shout if you're interested.
