1998 Stock LSC Mark VIII
Here is Dave
Sinclair's 1998 Black on Black LSC. His car is
completely stock except for the addition of a rear
spoiler - grafted to the Mark from a 1998 Ford Taurus -
which turned out to be a nice fit. Dave bought the car
(his second Mark VIII) in June of 2002 with 34,000 miles
- and plans to add a chip, sensor lower it, increase the
sway bar diameter and switch to a 2.5 inch exhaust in
the Spring of 2004.
This is Marcia
Culver's stock 98 Mark VIII LSC. She also owns a 94 and
86 Mark.
This is Winston
and Ruth Kriger's 1998 Mark VIII LSC. It sports the
beautiful and rare Octastar wheels. He bought the Mark
VIII (VIN 1LNFM92V2WY634251) as an Anniversary present
for his wife Ruth, but she lets him drive it every now
and then if he is a "good boy". He also get to change
the oil/filters and put air in the OEM Goodyear GA
tires. Their Mark is a totally stock 1998 LSC model with
Ivory Pearlescent Tri-coat exterior (HA) and Ivory
interior (DQ). Options are Moonroof, Trunk CD player,
Heated Seats, Garage opener, Octastar Wheels, and
Electronic Traction Assist. It has about 35,000 miles
and is covered under a No Deductible Lincoln/Ford "New
Car" ESP premium care plan for 7-years/75000-miles. So
far, the only unscheduled maintenance has been a bad
front-wheel bearing and a stained rear-seat armrest --
both of which were fixed under warranty. They really
love their Mark VIII and can't imagine why Lincoln
stopped making them. Winston guesses SUVs are a lot more
profitable these days ............
This is
Christopher "crash" Rash's gorgeous Toreador Red 1998
Mark VIII LSC. It has the uncommon optional OctaStar
wheels.
This is Paul
"Last Mrk" Christenson's Medium Charcoal Green Clearcoat
Metallic 1998 LSC. Paul liked the Thunderbird, but Ford
discontinued them in 1997. Therefore, he bought the
closest new car left to a Thunderbird in 1998. Sadly,
Ford discontinued the entire Mark series also in 1998,
so his license is tribute to the end of the Mark series.
This is Neil
Holtby's (Uncle Neil) 1998 Mark VIII LSC. Neil and his
wife Heather hail from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. This
Mark is Neil's daily driver. Its black exterior is
matched to its light prairie tan interior. The car is
stock at the moment. Mileage is 87,000 Km. Neil
previously owned a 1994 Mark VIII Base, Champaign and
Black. He traded it for this beauty in the spring of
2002.
This is Rene
Saylor's gleaming 1998 Mark VIII LSC. It is color code
