Hello, I recently purchased the 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII Markaro featured in the Other Tech page: Markaro - 1993 Mark VIII Pickup Truck Conversion
I found the Markaro at A-1 Auto Sales in Conroe Texas and had it trucked home to Richmond California. While in cosmetically pretty good shape, the Markaro was in need of some deferred maintenance. New water pump and thermostat, rear CV-joint axles, rear brake rotors, muffler, fuel and air filters, climate control module, radio, several window switches and one window motor, windshield wipers, repaired water-filled passenger headlight and sourced a missing spare tire and jack.

The Markaro is a constant source of entertainment: not a day goes by without someone asking if it's a production car or a request to take its picture. The Lincoln pick-up is also useful as I've hauled cardboard to the recycler, where two separate folks asked if they could take its picture and a trip to Home Depot.

The Markaro is popular not just with car nerds but folks who like the "emerald mist" paint or the sporty look of the shortened roofline.
 
Congratulations on finding and acquiring this one of a kind Lincoln!

Just curious, do you have other Mark VIII's or perhaps had previous ones? How did you exactly find the Markaro? By happenstance? :unsure:

Welcome to the Lincolns of Distinction! :)
 
I'm trying to post recent pictures of the Markaro.

The Lincoln is a revelation to me; subtle performance wrapped in early '90's luxury. I've pretty eclectic tastes when it comes to cars. The rest of my fleet consists of a '63 Studebaker Avanti R2, a '68 Meyer Manx SR, another one-of-a-kind THE Harry Bradley Corvette Station Wagon, an '85 ASC McLaren Capri convertible and a '92 Lotus Elan m100. I've owned many, many more interesting cars, always drawn to unique vehicles with interesting histories.
