Default Got a 2nd car!!

When I was younger, 17-21 I had an 88 Lincoln Mark VII LSC> I loved those cars a lot. Mustang motor, but with luxuries. I modded that car, converted it to 5-speed, and got it down from 16.1 to 14.1 at 99.

THen I had a 90 LSC, then a 95 Mark VIII, and then a Mustang GT Convertible, 96.

I love old American cars, such as 75-79 Caddy Eldorado, LIncolns, Rivieras etc.
LSC being my teenage car, I wanted to get one again, and keep it this time.

Took me a year to find one in a condition I wanted it to be, and here it is.
1992 LSC, in green (rarest of colors) with 72k miles, in Mint condition. And I got for under $2000.

Having two cars is awesome. Such difference, but LIncoln doesn't handle too bad. I am gonna keep this one stock as much as possible.

i like those too. remember in New Jack City when they rolling around in one with black rims.

ive been looking around for a nice 95ish mark IV coupe but havent really found anything. im a fan of lincolns and mercs too. i used to have a 94 MGM LS with fly black leather interior and the digital gauges but it only had the 4.6 v8, it was a dope car though.

having two cars is fun too, ive always tried to have dual whips. some of my combos included

2000 acura TL with a 91 240sx hatch
2000 GSR with the 94 MGM

thats back when i owned nicer cars, times have changed and right now im rocking the 92 ls400 as my luxury cruiser and i keep my old 93 infiniti g20 around for the gas saver/bucket missions.

Always loved those STSs. But the 4.6 Northstar motor is known for burning oil and self destructing. I hope that one lasts for a while. Otherwise, a very nice car. Lots of power, and looks are killer. Good luck!!! And enjoy!

i hear ya....i've read all about that engine. i actually bought this off of the widow of a co-worker that passed away. he loved this car and was an "every 3000 mile oil change at the dealer" type guy. this car is near mint.
i also got an AMAZING deal, so.....

i had a 99 towncar before i got my lexus, so i understand your wanting another lincoln.

good luck with yours too!

That body style, from the drivers' door back, reminds me of the old BMW 635 Csi or M6 (80's). Also the mesh wheel design.

My dad used to own a 99 Town Car, HORRIBLE car, from every angle. But they redesigned it in 04, and it became a lot better. Struts, rack and pinion and its a different car, still not great, but better. He has an 04 now.
