Did anyone else notice that this utterly worn out Lincoln still had a fully-functional suite of electronics? Mercedes Benz, take note...

[@jessemedina4482]

Mine is 29 years old.. very sound daily driver.. One component at a time is failing due to old age so I've been replacing the pumps, alternator and basic stuff over the years. Most expensive repair was removing the historic Teves II electric brake system and converting to a Hydroboost setup (thanks to SPEED Manufacturing). Biggest failure so far was seized bearings on one of the roller lifters; flat spotted the roller and slightly scratched up the cam lobe but no big deal. Stock limited slip 3.73 rear end, air ride suspension, JBL amp + speakers, sunroof, power everything, automatic headlights + auto dim, trip computer, security system all worked when I bought it and still does with a few exceptions. This car has turned me from an old school GM G-Body apologist to an old school Foxbody fanatic.

"Most people thought the styling was awkward?" Not from the 80s road test magazines I have. The rear tire hump is an homage to every Mark that went before it all the back to 1940 and most of the reviews at the time, approved. Several testers got 0-60 in under 8 seconds not 9 seconds, which in 1988 is not shabby at all. M/T thought once the 5.0. H.O. was made standard in 88 that it was the best road car on the market at that price. (I have the issue) M/T wrote a full page update on the car in 88, they absolutely loved it. H.P. was updated to 225 in 1989. Only the highest spec Mustang H.O. engines were used in these from the Ford factory. They also had optional 10 speaker JBL sound systems that could make your ears bleed. By far one of the coolest cars of the 1980s. I'm not so sure producing 191,000 of a specialty car is considered a flop (?).

[@johngalt5205]

Fun Fact: International headlamp styling, 1983-present In 1983, granting a 1981 petition from Ford Motor Company, the US headlamp regulations were amended to allow replaceable-bulb, nonstandard-shape, architectural headlamps with aerodynamic lenses that could for the first time be made of hard-coated polycarbonate. This allowed the first US-market car since 1939 with replaceable bulb headlamps: the 1984 Lincoln Mark VII. These composite headlamps were sometimes referred to as "Euro" headlamps, since aerodynamic headlamps were common in Europe. Though conceptually similar to European headlamps with non-standardized shape and replaceable-bulb construction, these headlamps conform to the headlamp design, construction, and performance specifications of US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 rather than the internationalized European safety standards used outside North America. Nevertheless, this change to US regulations made it possible for headlamp styling in the US market to move closer to that in Europe.

@@anselpeneloperainblossom-s3489 Have you not been in the car market for the past few years? Foxbodies are now getting expensive, especially if you want one that hasnt been modified. Lincoln Mark VIIs are rare. They get their parts ripped out to "upgrade" mustangs. So many of them are gone now.

Parts are just as cheap and available as they ever have been. Almost every part interchanges with a tbird/cougar also and almost everything that doesn't interchanges with a mustang.

You are FAR too hard on the car. I strongly urge you to do a follow-up with a mint example Mark VII LSC in mint condition. It is a handsome car and the incredible neglect that your car suffered and yet still ran, is testimony to its excellent engineering. I have been fortunate to have owned many fine cars, and the 1986 Mark VII LSC that I bought new was one of the very best. It looked/ran like new up to 266,000 miles...when it was rear-ended by an uninsured teenage motorist.

@@jonlelong It's 1.8 million.

[@joer8854]

@@jonlelong The number was mostly from the company not the dash since it was a taxi for most of that. I accidentally put a comma instead of a period. The car belonged and was built for one of the owners. When he no longer wanted the car it was put into the fleet. Even before that point the owner used it now and then as a taxi however the precise mileage at that time wasn't being recorded since it was a personal car. So for about 120,000 it wasn't a taxi in the fleet though it was a registered cab at the time. The funny thing is I suggested Ford be contacted about the car considering the mileage. Not only did Ford not particularly care that the car lasted that long they weren't even surprised. They said it happens a lot more than you think. I had the car for only about 2 years personally but I was very impressed by the quality Ford can put in a car when they want to.
