1995 Lincoln Mk VIII kudos

The Lincoln Mk VIII is the end of a glorious line by Ford/Lincoln. Sadly, tastes change and the line was discontinued in 1958. Its a loss to the automobiling public. My Mark VIII (175,000 miles)is now a classic. Its new engine (50,000 miles ago- and not the fault of the car!) makes it ready for many thousands more of miles of pleasureable driving. To own a Lincoln is class! To own a Mark, is the top of the line!

I've enjoyed this vehicle to the limits. 220,000 miles and still very strong. Trans rebuilt at 150,000 along with some air suspension/electrical repairs. Rust is beginning to take over however i just wont part with it until its done!

Best Car Ever

I bought this car as a daily driver but knew it was probably one of the nicest cars ever built by any company. The styling, performance and quality of this vehicle is way beyond anything built before or since. I am sure this is a classic car in the making. The Cobra engine has 4 cam shafts, 32 valves, and port fuel injection makes it untouchable. I would buy another one if they still made them but you can't kill this bulletproof engine as long as you maintain it.

I purchased this vehicle with 30K miles on it 5 1/2 years ago. Now it has 140K miles. Overall, it has been a good car, but reliability leaves a lot to be desired. The transmission has been completely rebuilt twice and is still not acting right. The rear axle was rebuilt, and brake jobs are common every 25K miles. The fuel pump died. Now the air suspension system is leaking (cost to repair $2500). Electrical demons abound (heater blower stopped, door ajar light stays on, speakers on right side stopped working). My wife and even my mechanic are begging me to sell it, but I can't bring myself to do it. Despite all the flaws, I really love the car.
