For Sale: 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII in Lutz, Florida

When the Lincoln Mark VIII came along in 1993, it radically differed from anything we had seen from Ford's luxury division before. Longer, wider, and obviously more distinctively styled, this 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC we have for you today sports its original Silver Frost paint and has just 41,268 actual miles on its odometer, making it a pristine example of this unique piece of automotive history. This Luxury Sport Coupe represents a high-performance grand tourer that outdid its lesser Standard trim sibling thanks to a power boost and shorter rear axle gears, making it surprisingly quick off the line for a luxury cruiser.

Inside, we find a Light Graphite-colored cockpit-style leather interior featuring plush yet supportive six-way power adjustable bucket seats separated by a storage console armrest. Contrasting woodgrain trim highlights the central console and meaty four-spoke steering wheel while power locks, windows, mirrors, and sunroof provide all of the modern amenities required for riding in style. The stock head unit has been replaced with an upgraded AM/FM/CD/AUX Bluetooth-enabled touchscreen, which powers a trunk-mounted set of subwoofers and matching amp to provide even more entertainment than originally available in the late-90s.

Under that long, swoopy hood, we find a 4.6-liter DOHC "InTech" V-8 engine (designed to compete with Cadillac's then-new Northstar V-8, among others). Power from that modular small block is funneled through a 4R70W four-speed automatic transmission before heading out to the 3.27-geared rear end. Producing a healthy 290 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque when new, this LSC could hustle from 0-60 mph in just a few ticks over seven seconds, an impressive feat for a well-insulated four-seater that tips the scales at almost 3,800 pounds.

Designed to be the pinnacle of posh, this 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC rides on a fully independent air suspension that feels as though you are riding on a cloud high above the frenetic cacophony of the highway below. Only about half of all Mark VIII models (approximately 16,805) made for the 1997 model year were built with the upgraded LSC trim. With no way to know precisely how many are still out there, it is safe to assume you will be hard-pressed to find another example like this one. Low mileage and a design that has not been replicated since, if you want to make an entrance, then this is the car you've been looking for. Don't wait, call today!
