Supercharging Is Not A Crime: 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC

I've seen lots of strange things in craigslist adverts.  Dirty thumbs and oily rags obscure license plates for some unknown reason on a regular basis...and there is a certain subset of the population who can only find time to take pics of their car at the gas station at night (vampires?)..but this next car is a new highlight in the smorgasbord that is craigslist.  I present..the first...the only..crime scene tape in a craigslist photo shoot.  Bravo.  Well done.  Find this 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC with supercharger offered for $8500 in Shepherdsville, KY via craigslist. Tip from Jeff.

Presidents' Day: 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII

Convertibatmobile: 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII Batmobile

Batman felt the simmering rage coming out from the deep dark place he normally kept it hidden. With one swift movement he pushed aside the thick drapes to let a flood of midday light into the Wayne Manor guest bedroom.

"Whoa whoa, Bruce, it isn't what you think."  Robin jumped from the bed and attempted to cover himself with a nearby cape.  "Its not like...well...I didn't think you guys were a thing anymore after that last thing...you know..."

Mark It Eight: 1997 Lincoln Mk VIII

The Lincoln Mk VII featured earlier this week was a nice low mile example of a luxury sports coupe, but the simple fact remains that you can get a newer Lincoln sport coupe for about the same price.  The question is, did Lincoln get better with time, or do they get better with age?  Find this 1997 Lincoln Mk VIII offered for $3,400 in Royal Oak, MI via craigslist.  Tip from Don.

7k: Old Dog, New Gears: 1997 Lincol Mark VIII, 5-speed


Lest there be any doubt of the Lincoln Mark VIII's sole purpose in life, our answer to Matthew McConaughey's often parodied Lincoln ads in October settled the matter for good. Its raison d'ĂȘtre is simply this: existence as the ultimate domestic personal luxury car - not slalom speed, volumetric efficiency, fuel efficiency, or randomly peppering conversations with French phrases like a complete jerk. But what it wasn't pigeonholed into a one-dimensional use? With a handful of modifications, could it become an entirely new car and assume an entirely new driving experience? Probably not, but that didn't stop this guy from trying. Find this 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII with five-speed conversion for sale in Peoria, IL for $6,500 via craigslist.

1k: End Of An Era: 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC

No matter how many times Lincoln hires Matthew McConaughey to ad-lib his way through a fog of Xanax and red wine, they cannot convince me that they've found their mojo.  The day Lincoln stopped building their 2-door personal luxury monster was the day they became a footnote in automotive history.  Relive the glory days of big, powerful Lincolns with needlessly long doors with this 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC currently bidding for $1,223 with a few hours to go on eBay, located in Holbrook, NY.
