modern classic American luxury modular motor automatic transmission

1993 Lincoln Mark Series Additional Info:

The Lincoln Mark VIII is coming into its own on the classic car market - this example even has an AACA award tag in the grille! It's not a particularly old vehicle, and in fact, this 1993 example has only recently started to qualify for vintage registration in most states that offer it. But the reason for such a quickly gained appreciation is that no other car from this era seems to capture the same magic from sleek lines, classic luxury, confident handling, and multi-valve V8 power.
The Mark series Lincolns have always been about providing upper-class style in an attractive coupe form. But this final evolution did it just a bit better. They could give it traditionally good looks without having to stand on tradition. For example, the clean and straight grille plays a prominent role in the front end, just like its predecessors. But this is nicely sloped and integrated to be a visual bridge between the bumper and the wraparound headlights. You'll see these little details around the design where everything is thoughtfully integrated, right down to the classic continental curve in the trunk. The result is a car that you know is a Lincoln, and also, you know, they wanted to set a new benchmark with its style. This example upholds this stylish image with its timelessly elegant black paint. It's likely the factory application, and there's a low odometer - averaging about 2500 miles annually. So you get a combination of good care and less use that makes for an attractive cruiser. And we love how the wheels give you a modern take on traditional luxury with the 20-spoke factory alloys that look as if wire wheels were given a turbo upgrade.
The interior fits the theme of this car perfectly. It has a swoopy style where the dash flows right into the design of the doors for a thoughtful feeling. And while the top of the dash is quite symmetrical, the lower portion is tilted towards the driver as a permanent declaration that you are the most important one in this personal luxury coupe. Black leather is a timelessly elegant style, especially when it shows good care, as in this example. So the whole car feels quite inviting. There's even good space in the back seat, including useful legroom, shoulder belts, and plenty of plushness. So taking more than one passenger in this coupe is easy. But as the contoured dash suggests, the driver is the priority. You get a power-adjusting seat, a tilt steering column, and a crisp/clean set of readouts. It's an easy reach to all the best features, like a sunroof, power windows, power locks, cruise control, an electric rear defogger, keyless entry/alarm, a premium AM/FM/CD stereo, and automatic climate control with cold-blowing air conditioning. There's even a retro-cool trip computer with a readout at the top of the dash.
The Mark VIII was a flagship car, so it received one of the best motors. It was Lincoln's version of the 4.6-liter Modular V8. This is the 32-valve DOHC version related to power cars like the Mustang Mach 1 and SVT Cobra. So it certainly has the potential to be upgraded into one of the coolest/sleekest sleepers around. Still, this powerhouse uses its versatility to be a better Lincoln in this example. It has a swift and smooth operation, so you can describe the driving experience as "effortless." That's why the four-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly into overdrive. Out on the road, the fully independent suspension, smooth power steering, supple air ride, and four-wheel disc brakes make for a great grand touring coupe.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and service manuals. There is something irresistibly attractive about a personal luxury coupe done in premium full midnight limo style. That's why this preserved young classic is already an AACA regional award winner. Call now!
