Vehicle Description
Desirable LSC model. 45,275 original miles. Beautiful color
combination. All options including power sunroof and chrome wheels.
Everything works, including fully functional air suspension. The
greatest luxury/performance coupe of the '90s, ready to
go!Horsepower was back on the menu in the 1990s and by the time
this beautiful 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC was built, the line
between luxury and performance was getting blurry indeed. Ford's
move to overhead cam engines was a big part of the horsepower
renaissance and the 4.6-liter V8 in the Mark VIII was one of the
most sophisticated engines you could buy. Wrapped in sleek coupe
bodywork, the Lincoln was unlike anything else on the market and
made cars like the Eldorado look downright frumpy. Bathed in
stunning Garnet Red tri-coat paint, this Mark VIII is exceptionally
well preserved and beautifully maintained. It has never seen winter
weather and with just two owners it has always been treated as
something of value. Fit and finish are quite good and aside from
the front bumper, which was repainted recently to remedy some
chips, is original and in fantastic condition. Of course, it's
approaching its 30th birthday so there are a few signs of use and
age, but we haven't seen a nicer Mark VIII in a long time. The
chrome and stainless trim-what little there is-is in excellent
condition and the spare tire bump on the deck lid is a call-back to
the Continentals of yore.The tan leather interior was
state-of-the-art for 1995 and included every comfort and
convenience feature Ford could imagine. The deeply bolstered
buckets are all day comfortable and there were very few better
high-speed cruisers than this Lincoln in 1995. There's a bit of
wear on the driver's outer bolsters, but no splits or tears in the
leather, and the rest of the interior is excellent. The two-tone
dash wraps around the entire interior, putting big analog gauges in
front of the driver and secondary controls in the center console.
Everything was included: automatic climate control, trip computer,
power windows, locks, mirrors, and seats, cruise control, rear
defrost, and a powerful AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo that still sounds
pretty good. Everything works like it should and even the faux wood
on the center stack is pretty convincing. The back seat is actually
big enough for real-sized passengers and there's also a good-sized
trunk with a cargo net and CD changer.But the real reason these
cars are so enjoyable to drive is under the hood: a 4.6 liter DOHC
V8 with 32 valves and 280 horsepower. Today that may not seem
amazing, but it gives the LSC the moves of a Mustang and makes it a
superb high-speed cruiser. It also makes the most wonderful sounds,
including a muted V8 exhaust note that sounds like ripping silk.
With just 45,000 miles on it, this one remains in excellent
condition with no issues, and these engines have a reputation for
durability and easy maintenance. It has been recently serviced so
it's 100% ready to go. The 4-speed automatic transmission offers up
quick shifts and a tall overdrive that works with the LSC's
optional 3.27 rear gears to make it effortless at high speeds. For
a 4000-pound coupe, it moves like a much smaller car thanks to that
wondrous engine, and the LSC's standard air suspension is a great
blend of luxury feel and reasonable handling. You can see just how
clean this car is underneath and is so original that even the
exhaust system is factory-installed. The full independent
suspension was a big deal for 1995 and there are 4-wheel disc
brakes with ABS for confident stopping power. 16-inch aluminum
wheels are chrome plated for some flash and carry brand new
225/60/16 Goodyear radials.Factory owner's manuals are included,
along with the original window sticker and purchase documents.The
Mark VIII was the last of Lincoln's Continental coupes, which is a
shame. Fortunately, they decided to go out with a bang, as the LSC
offers Mustang-like performance with incomparable luxury. For the
1990s, this car feels remarkably poised and civilized and the
rounded styling has aged quite well. If you were there, you
remember how awesome these cars were and if not, this is your
chance to discover something pretty amazing. Call today!Harwood
