The Lincoln Mark VII LSC was a Mustang Based Luxury Hot Rod

[@BEGGARWOOD1]

As a Brit I have always adored these cars . As a kid I used to write to all the big US manufacturers and ask for brochures, the Lincon ones were always my favourite

[@ramnamrico9399]

Bill dropped another banger I gotta stop everything I’m doing and watch

[@corralescruiser8957]

Love my 92 LSC SE! These are underappreciated hidden gems.

[@Chris_Troxler]

How much you want for it? Let's make a deal!😎

[@corralescruiser8957]

@@Chris_Troxler Had it listed last month for 15k. It's in fantastic condition. Garnet red over black interior. 65k miles. Still on the fence about letting her go.

[@nolarobert]

I love the look of this Lincoln in such a handsome color. The Lincoln Sports Car was an ingenious way to get my interest in a car segment that I normally ignored. The next generation of the LSC was even better. I wouldn't mind owning one of these classic beauties.

[@ojmcbaggins]

I owned one of these, 91 Bill blass. Back in 2003 I started the Lincoln Mark VII Club with none other than Mr. John Dancy (RIP friend). he had 13 mark VIIs, he tried to collect every different type there was, including the bmw turbo diesel '84

[@corralescruiser8957]

Thank you and John for that club and website. I've learned so much from it.

[@ganderson158]

Love the sound of those doors closing. Loved this car then and still looks modern for today.

[@jimkanellakos4699]

Agree! I love this generation of Mark.

[@pszitalian10]

i owned one in 1995

[@wmalden]

I owned a 1985 LSC in white with tan interior. That year still had the electronic speedo and fuel gauge, no air bags or CHMSL. Different wheels, too. I was 29 when I bought it. Pre-owned with 14k miles in 1986. Loved that car!

[@322wheelman]

Bill…been watching you four years…and you’re my favorite KZbin personality. Please don’t sell your LSC. Been hearing you talk about missing your old one and you’ve found another beautiful one…don’t let it go…you’ll regret it. Found a mint DJG 92 LSC last year and it’s here to stay.

[@timothycasanova2007]

Bravo Bill! This vehicle will never look old to me.

[@Tripplebeem]

The realness of this review was fantastic. My uncle had a mark VIII and it was one of my first "cool car" drives that I did after getting my license. He let me borrow it to take a girl to a high school dance in. Real player stuff.

[@texasknight5175]

My Pop had an 88' LSC and Mom has an 87' Versace Edition. Both very comfortable highway cruisers. I'd detail the cars (both!) on nice Saturdays just for the chance to drive them around the block or put gas in them. You could toss the LSC around and break the rear end loose in style and comfort... lol

[@lincolnmarkviiguy366]

If you mean a Versace Mark VII they were not offered in 87. 84-85 only.

[@DanT271]

Ford Guy here and this car is still way cool also from my childhood

[@piggy310]

Ford fans fart rainbows

[@ICECREAMAN1701]

Love this ride, Bill!! That front seat armrest looks like the 1541 disk drive from a Commodore 64.

[@chriseaton2730]

"4 wheel air suspension. That has its ups and downs." Good one, Bill.

[@Hot_Rod_lincoln]

And it's the same year and color as mine! Been waiting on this video for years now 🙌

[@piggy310]

That hot 🎉

[@322wheelman]

Same here. I have a DJG 92.

Like the old song says, "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln"

These cars ain't no joke!!

These are great looking cars, and a really cool package. Used to see so many back in the day, strange how few are around today.

Great to see you back Bill... Awsome video😊

What a surprise! Hope you're having a great afternoon Bill!

[@ron8566]

What a blast to the past. Great car.

Love it Uncle Bill!!! As always, on point with the dive in and leap right into the car at the 8:30 mark! Even if it was implied but not stated.

[@kennethbode2017]

nice looking car even today

[@TheLizardKing1967]

Now we all know how the 1990 Lincoln Town Car got it's front end treatment.

Welcome back Bill, another video in a week, I am in heaven. It is freezing cold here in Manchester

[@FirstLast-qt2ki]

Keep them coming Bill!

[@RichadTheLionHeat]

Hey it’s at 3:51 and no Mr. Bill. Is he on vacation? We sure enjoy his great sense of humor! I’ll go ba k to listening and watching. Hopefully he is coming on the video soon. “Good morning from Naples, Florida. The weather is ………!”

Great gift Mr Pete !

This big coup rocks. You find amazing cars.

[@Padrone5763]

Hey Bill hope all is good ... Loving it as always !

[@patrickcampion7966]

I loved these cars as a gearhead teenager in the 80's. I remember buying some magazine (maybe called Automobile?) that had an article on them. It had a great photoshoot with some pictures of it doing a burnout on a deserted Wall Street, which I assume were taken very early on a summer morning.

[@lancemannion4113]

I'm old enough to remember when these came out in my teens. I was a hardcore 5.0 Mustang groupie having had an 88 LX 5.0 notchback. I remember Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords (or Cars Illustrated? - I can't remember which magazine) got one of these to test. And I believe with some free hot rod tweaks, such as a timing bump and an air box housing removal, they were able to dip into the 14s. Which was pretty cool considering how heavy that car was (with a slushbox!) but it basically was a fox body Mustang in a tuxedo. Cool cars then and still to this day, although obviously the power is nothing to write home about now!

[@sasothestrategizer]

My Dad had one, I loved that car!

[@johncornell3665]

Hey Bill. Great to see a new video. Pretty sharp car!

[@edwartvonfectonia4362]

Love the design and the sound of the start-up. Remember driving it in GTA series.

[@mbtoocool]

A car that is near and dear to me, my first car in 1993 when I got a job at 16 was a 1988 Mark vii lsc and I still miss it. The dash was a little different but basically the same as this one.

[@jeeper5264]

My dad had one of these...great car...he loved that car..got totaled with 280k miles and still was a nice car

[@RoyShank-w7o]

Good looking Lincoln!

Liquor is regulated here in NC Bill so you may pay more for your Whiskey 😂😂😂

[@michaelhintz6187]

I was a Lincoln Mercury mechanic from 1984 to 1989. Love the Mark 7 and8. Great cars. Come on Lincoln make the 9 version!

I think time is running out for the Lincoln brand.

[@mortenrasmussen965]

That is a very good looking car. Great lines.

[@piggy310]

The fact was still being made in 1991 is sad and nostalgic at the same time. It's like the last gasp

I've always wanted one of those

[@kevingregory333]

I remember my neighbor having one growing up and looking at the sticker it was 42 Grand and that was in 1990

[@olikat8]

For my '76 Plymouth Valiant I scoured the junkyards and procured a set of 5 LSC wheels. While I like the lace wheels on this car, I know this style would not look good on an old Mopar sedan. However, the turbine style? Fits really well. Only had to open the center register about 1/8" of an inch and they bolt right on

[@jasonp.greiner8239]

Hi Bill, Great contents.

[@nokiangage]

I can never understand why the blinkers of so many US cars are the inner closest lights to each other next to the grill and not on the outside - like the corners that actually can be seen from other people and would indicate way better the change of the direction

[@piggy310]

This car in particular has the little headlights that turn on for corner visibility, they would bleed each other out

[@untubenow]

In Europe they were very rare. I owned one back then. When 9-11 happened I worked for a US company near Amsterdam and they sort of panicked. There was a little parking deck for guests just in front of the entrance and security was scared of carbombs or other attacks the next day. So I used my Lincoln to block access to the parking deck.....

[@saladbreath607]

Bill: the only human with a built-in air dryer purge valve.

[@scottnewton9046]

In 1989, it came down to a Mark VII LSC and the new Thunderbird SC. I went with the thunderbird as it was the better handling car and was a bit quicker off the line. In retrospect, I would’ve loved one of these and still love it.

[@mattgee5609]

Bill talking friendly to an animal, very unsettling

[@curiouscars9282]

I was going to get cross with him, but my heart goes out to old dogs. same thing happens at the strip club.

[@dagglock7615]

I always enjoy you videos so please make more!!

[@Terminxman]

When you see one of these that's in great shape like this it's really a great looking car. Most have faded paint and clouded headlights and you don't really get to appreciate it.

[@dRockOhio]

This video DEFINITELY makes me rethink about selling mine now. Thanks Bill 😂

[@davidsauls9542]

Look into the Missouri Ozarks. Beautiful and less expensive than North Carolina.

I had one called my HOT ROD LINCOLN,

[@willydavid]

How did you come up with that ?

[@tedzehnder961]

What you meant to say you are very happier than usual.I think as far as Lincolns go I`d grab the full sized ones based on the Marquis chassis.The doors shut solid ,no creaks or rattles.That is a clean Mark VII though.

[@kevinbarry71]

LSC: large slow coupe. Nice fox body Lincoln

[@lincolnmarkviiguy366]

Say the same about the Roush LSC?

I worked at Pompano Lincoln Mercury in the early nineties I worked for Elite detail also used to undercoat and intercoat I thought they were cool to drive as well😊

[@briandesrocher6882]

It’s too bad these were rung out and thrown away. These in nice condition are hard to find… I even love the mark 8 those are hard to find nice too

[@CorneliusMegadook]

The mark 8s is what needs more respect. Everyone has different tastes but to me, the mark 8 was a far superior automobile. I had the pleasure of owning 3. My last one was an LSC. Smashed it into a power pole at 55ish and the mofo started up no problem. It was totaled. But still.

[@lancemannion4113]

Pre Cobra motored Lincoln.... not sure if that makes sense? Lol. But yeah, the 32v 4.6 'cobra engine' made those cars boogie!

[@CorneliusMegadook]

@@lancemannion4113 yeah. Too bad it was factory limited to 120. My 94 had the limited removed. All o know is it did every bit of 140.

[@lincolnmarkviiguy366]

Hey Bill, they cancelled the diesel option early because there was an oil crisis and Ford did not want to burden their customers with the high cost of diesel fuel. So they cancelled the option in november of 84, offered a buy back and also offered a $2,500 voucher towards a new model Lincoln.

[@kippaseo8027]

Fun fact! The 1987 and 1988 Lincoln mark 7 had the highest incidence of deaths deaths due to hydroplaning even though they were one of the first cars to have standard ABS.

I am ashamed to admit that I never knew and having grown up with my father who ever really owned Lincoln Town Cars in the 80's - 2000's and fist learning to drive in a Rose colored 1978 Lincoln Town Car I apologize. Now I want a Lincoln Mark VII LSC I see the Mustang body type. A real sleeper of a car.

Nice car. The Mark VIII was all new for 1993, so there were no 1992 Mark VII. The VII looks so old. Mark VIII is so much more modern looking and still looks good today.
