Vehicle Description
Loaded, luxurious, and affordable, this 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII is
an awesome coupe. And don't forget that beneath all of this is a
fully independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and the kind
of fuel-injected V8 that also powered the best Mustangs of the
day.
Lincoln really went for an exceptional level of style on the Mark
VIII. It looks like they took up all the time at Ford's wind tunnel
until everything from the headlights to the rear fenders had a
swept-back look created by speed. Even the hallmark continental
spare tire hump in the trunk got the aerodynamic treatment. So it's
hard not to be impressed with the design as it has matured into a
proper classic. The Opal Opalescent Metallic paint has a timeless
sense of style. This is believed to be the factory application and
believed original mileage. So it sets the tone right for the car.
It's a three-owner vehicle registered in California and Florida.
Basically, this has been driven but you can tell the difference of
how good care, less mileage, and desirable geography make for
something special. Plus, this has just the right amount of
brightwork to give it the classic American luxury feeling without
feeling like an old-timer. You see it in the way the trim artfully
wraps around the rear while framing the taillight package, and the
16-inch alloys have an intricate look of performance.
This car recently crossed the 25-year mark, and that starts to make
it eligible for vintage car registration in some states. But when
you look inside, all you see is a ton of luxury. You have a
tasteful saddle leather with the right touch of wood-like trim. And
the overall level of use is a reminder of the less mileage and use
than many of its contemporaries. Like a true luxury Lincoln, this
one is loaded with great features such as power windows, power
locks, keyless entry, tilt steering column, power steering,
anti-lock brakes, dual airbags, rear defogger, the premium
AM/FM/cassette stereo w/CD changer, and automatic A/C climate
control. And as a true grand touring coupe, the trunk holds far
more than just a weekend's worth of luggage.
Under the hood is a terrific V8 powerhouse. InTech was Lincoln's
name for the 32-valve DOHC V8 shared across the Ford line. Oh yes,
this fuel-injected 4.6-liter motor is a close sibling to the
powerhouse that made the Mustang Mach 1 and SVT Cobra such
desirable cars. So you could even probably add some of the same
go-fast goodies from those other Modular V8s, but we really do like
the stock look of this powerhouse as it is today. After all, this
version is built to deliver its power smoothly, and that's exactly
what you want in a Lincoln. Out on the road, the fully independent
suspension and four-wheel disc brakes inspire confidence while also
having a luxury ride. And cruise control and the four-speed
transmission with highway-ready overdrive are all part of a great
driving pack to enjoy for trips near or far.
Complete with maintenance records, this is the sleek and sporty
modern classic luxury coupe that has been given the proper respect
to remain an awesome cruiser. Call today!!!
