Unfortunately, it's the culture of our society anymore.  Bunch of lazy people breeding more lazy people.

Lincoln is a disgrace.  I've been in a Mark or Town Car for so many years.  The new stuff is so bland and so Ford with lipstick. . .  They can't even begin to hold a candle to their competition.  It's sad, but I will stick with their old cars that still have a soul.

Miscellaneous For Sale/Wanted / 1994 Rust free Rosemist Lincoln Mark VIII from Cali.
I hate to do this, but I can't bring myself to use this as my winter beater.  I have a 94 RoseMist Mark VIII in very good condition.  It has a Diablo chip, shift kit, and 4:10s. that I know of.  The car as it sits reads just over 152K miles, but the gears were installed by the original owner and never had the computer recalibrated.  I purchased a Dakota Digital unit and installed it upon purchase.  No idea on true mileage.  The car has seen one Chicago winter, and I drove it last winter for 200 miles.  It got washed every day with a nice hot bath and the underside was also cleaned to remove salt residue.

The car is 20 years old, has some dings, dents, and ses and some paint chips.  It has a crease along the PS rocker that looks like it's been curbed, but it never made it through the primer.  Very odd, but it's there. The car has new upper LCAs, air ride has been removed, but comes with everything to return it.  The front struts went down and I had a StrutMasters kit I go for free so I threw it on to get it to move.  It rides like  IMO, but I am also used to a Town Car, so everything I sit in besides that rides like .  The car has brand new tires, fresh oil change and comes with a TON of stuff.

Comes with a complete engine, trans, rearend,and computer from a 93 with 112K miles.  It ran perfect when pullled.  I was going to use this to build on.  Also comes with a complete set of winter wheels and tires with GoodYear Arctic Max or something tires. These cost $600 and are mounted on very good condition snowflakes.  It also comes with a buttload of spare parts.  I will also include a set of Saleen Replica wheels for free for a hubswap if you want.  I know the market is weak for these cars, but I feel this is a fair offer for this rust-free car with all the extras included as well. 

Looking for $2500 for everything. 
Car is located in NW Indiana.

Here's how it sits now.

Awesome, thanks!

I am in South Bend.  I talked to him for quite some time Monday.  The logistics are an issue for me as well, but if they are worth it, I am down.  My Mark has been sitting for months, so it makes sense to move it, especially for something I want more than the Mark.

Post up if you get them.  I am scheduled to meet the guy this weekend and trade for my Mark.

If you don't, how are they, body/rust wise?

Miscellaneous For Sale/Wanted / Mark VIII engine/trans/rearend.
Up for sale is a running 1993 Mark VIII engine, trans, and IRS pumpkin. This was pulled from a running, driving car. Engine runs great. The previous owner stated 3rd gear would slip after driving the car for several hours. I drove it 20 minutes home with no issues in the middle of July, so expect there to be trans issues. Car had 112K miles and ran perfect. I dropped it all out in one shot. I have a cherry picker so we can load in your vehicle. Will also include computer, but the harness from the bulkhead to CPU is not included. $500 OBO.
