Vehicle Description
1991 Lincoln Mark VII LSC
The Mark series had been associated with the Continental marque
since 1968 when in 1986 it was brought into the Lincoln brand. Two
years later in 1988, the Lincoln Sport Coupe, (LSC), was born
utilizing Ford's venerable 5.0 liter high output engine creating a
luxury 2 door with some hidden muscle under the hood.
For consignment, a 1991 Lincoln Mark VII LSC with a title verified
41,526 actual miles. The transmission was rebuilt at 39,000
according to our consignor and the tires are brand new, along with
the battery. It will also come to you with the original window
sticker.
Exterior
This one is bathed in Titanium Frost Metallic, complemented by a
broad black rocker panel trimmed with a ribbon of chrome. Its
curvaceous body was described as "fluid aerodynamic shape" by
Lincoln and certainly veered from the boxy Marks of previous
generations. This body style was launched just after the Ford
Taurus and its game changing shape was introduced into the world.
Despite its new shape, the Lincoln manages to maintain a stately
chrome grille flanked by flush composite headlights, underscored by
a chrome bumper with rubber guard, and equipped with a pair of
Marchal fog lights. The entire front fascia is gleaming and
mirror-like. A push button entry pad allows the driver to lock and
unlock the door without keys and the rear deck lid maintains the
iconic wheel hump as well as the expanse of horizontal reflectors
along the bottom edge where you'll also find the reverse lights.
This is flanked by vertical tail lights that are wonderfully flush
to the body. The car is equipped with a sunroof and 16-inch
geometric aluminum spoke wheels wrapped by 225/60R16 tires with a
late 2024 date code. The only imperfection we find is some fading
of the side molding.
Interior
Warm gray tones dominate the interior beginning with the plastic
molded door panels with cloth inserts and carpeted base. The
leather bucket sport seats have power side bolsters, power lumbar
supports and manual thigh supports. They look to be in great shape
and sportier than any previous Mark series, and the rear seats,
also in gray leather, while decidedly less exciting, lean more
towards soft comfort and are in very nice condition. Ashtrays still
made an appearance for rear passengers in 1991. The LSC embossed
steering wheel is wrapped in perforated gray leather and houses the
cruise control and horn buttons. The instrument cluster is a simple
affair with speedometer, tachometer, gas gauge and temperature
gauge and the center stack features the much touted electronic
message system which provides about 12 pieces of information in a
green digital readout. Above that is an AM/FM/CD radio and the
center console mounted shifter hints of Mustang and has a leather
wrapped handle and thumb button for engagement, just in front of
the climate panel. Window and mirror controls are also housed in
the center console along with a padded armrest/storage bin. The
thick gray carpet is plush and clean, and the fleece-like headliner
is in good condition. Flannel gray panels finish the sizable trunk
which is clean.
Drivetrain
The distinct 5.0 liter intake manifold on top of the highly desired
high output V8 of the era. The 225 horsepower pushrod engine right
out of the Mustang GT and LX models. It is fueled by electronic
fuel ignition and tied to a 4-speed AOD automatic transmission with
overdrive. It sends the horses to the back wheels where it meets an
8.8 inch rear and 3.27 ratioed TracLoc rear gears. In true
performance oriented fashion, power disc brakes occupy all wheels.
The engine bay presents very cleanly with minimal usage patina. The
A/C has been converted to R-134 and our consignor reports newer
hoses, belts, plugs, rotor, and cap.
Undercarriage
Typical surface rust mixes with dry conditions on this overall
clean underside. True dual exhaust runs through a new cat back
system with stock style mufflers with tailpipes that merely peak
out back, not making a show of the potential power at hand. Airbag
suspension is found front and rear with the addition of a 4 link in
the back.
Drive-Ability
Before the mid 90's Impala SS, before the Cadillac's CTS-V, and way
before Pontiac's G8 was this, a comfortable luxury sedan with the
heart of a Mustang. This well sorted version utilizes its fuel
injection to start right up and performs well on the test loop and
the cabin is a nice place to be, whether on this short drive around
the mall, or as we can imagine, on long road trips. Especially as
all functional items on the car operate as intended! While Classic
Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time
of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be
working at the time of your purchase.
The dealer catalog for the model is replete with features geared to
give the driver the most pleasurable experience, from the comfort
of the seats to the electronic air suspension, "Mark VII is a
standout in a world burdened with conformity.". 34 years later,
it's still a very nice car and a wolf in sheep's clothing for those
not in the know.
