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 1992 Lincoln Mark VII LSC with a title verified
45,201 actual miles. This was the final year for the Sport Coupe
which has an enthusiastic following for those who understand the
unique results when you put a five liter into a luxury car.
Exterior
This one is bathed in Deep Jewel Green Metallic, complemented by a
broad gray 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. 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 with covers. 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 flush to the body. The car is equipped with a
sunroof and 16-inch mesh style aluminum wheels wrapped by 225/60R16
tires with a mid 2025 date code. Imperfections include light
scratches and dings, scuffs, chips, gashes in the rubber bumper,
and some peeling paint on the rocker.
Interior
Warm Mocha tones dominate the interior beginning with the plastic
molded door panels with cinched leather inserts and carpeted base
providing a nice contrast to the green. The leather bucket sport
seats have power side bolsters, power lumbar supports and manual
thigh supports. They look to be in great shape with some creasing
on the driver's seat, but all more sporty than any previous Mark
series. The tan leather rear seats lean more towards soft comfort
and are in very nice condition. The leather rimmed steering wheel
fronts the instrument cluster, a simple affair with the typical
gauges while the center stack features the much touted electronic
message system which provides about 12 pieces of information. Above
that is an AM/FM/CD radio and the center console mounted shifter
hints of Mustang with leather wrapped handle, just in front of the
climate panel. Window and mirror controls are also housed in the
center over thick tan carpet, plush and clean. The fleece-like
headliner is in good condition and cloth gray panels finish the
sizable trunk in clean fashion.
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 sending power to the 8.8 inch rear and 3.27 gears with
TracLoc. The engine bay presents very cleanly with minimal usage
patina.
Undercarriage
Typical surface rust mixes with dry conditions on this overall
clean underside. True dual exhaust runs through factory headers and
original equipment on their way to a rear exit. Airbag suspension
is found front and rear with the addition of a 4 link in the back.
In true performance oriented fashion, power disc brakes occupy all
four wheels.
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 nicely preserved example 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. The airbag light is on, the cruise control does not function
and the trip computer display is blank, but all other functions
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 bit of a sleeper once intended for the
seasoned crowd.
