Lincoln Mark VIII Movie.avi

This is a short movie about my two Lincoln Mark VIII's. The red one is a 1996 base model and the white one is a 1997 LSC. The '96 is mine and the '97 is my wife's. They're both awesome. There's nothing like having "His n' Hers" Lincoln Mark VIII's. These are wonderful cars. They're sleek, beautiful, fast, luxurious, and just plain awesome. The Lincoln Mark VIII was introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the outgoing Lincoln Mark VII. The VIII was a vast improvement over the VII that it replaced. The ancient 225hp 5.0L pushrod V-8 was replaced with a modern all aluminum DOHC 4.6L V-8 producing 280hp. Late in '95, the LSC returned with true dual exhaust and 290hp from the 4.6L V-8. The VIII also replaced the VII's McPherson strut front suspension with a proper upper and lower control arm design with integrated air spring/shock absorber units. The old 4-link live axle out back was also upgraded to a fully independent setup with upper lateral links, lower H-arms, air springs and shocks. The 4-wheel disc brake system was also upgraded with larger rotors and better electronics. The VIII was also a much larger car than the VII giving it more interior and trunk space than the outgoing car. About the only caryover was the transmission. The VIII's tranny was essentially the same as the one used in the VII. Other than that, the VIII was a completely new car from the ground up.

whats the mpg on these mark 8s?

[tjhaywood100]

@dmspit I get about 24mpg driving 80 miles a day round trip to work and back in the red '96. And my wife gets about 18mpg driving the white '97 LSC 15-20 miles a day to work and back. Not too shabby for a couple of 2-ton cars with V-8 engines. I can't complain.

THE CRAZY THING IS THAT YOU CAN BUY THESE CARS NOW AT SUCH A LOW PRICE

I NOTICE THAT THE LSC OR CUSTOMIZED MARK 8S HAVE THOSE CHROME WHEELS IN THAT DESIGN

I just bought my first 1998 LSC with 71,000kms - what a beautiful car. After owning Town Cars for several years this LSC just blows me away.

Thanks for the vid.
