I used to work at a Lincoln dealer in Albany back in the early 90's. I loved these cars, especially in LSC trim with the BBS wheels. I got to drive these and the Mark VIII's pretty regular up and down the Northway. Good times. You've got a cherry there, nice car.
Bruce Lee nice bro!! That’s a great deal because these cars have no market anymore and they either go for dirt cheap in great condition, or crazy money in shit condition. Cherish that baby brother. These cars are my favorite cars ever. I’ll drive LSC’s until I die.
Lester Diamond guy before me painted them black. I took them off a while ago. I couldn’t stand them either but I didn’t have any spare wheels at the time
I had an 87 LSC senior year of HS in Sunnyside '96 . Some of the best times with that car. Lasted me 5 years, came home one night and found it rear ended and 40 feet from where i parked it. totaled. And never got to install a Posi out of a special edition.
I've got a 90 LSC burgundy inside and out... bought it last year with 94k from the original owner for $1000. She's been my daily driver since day 1.. already took a trip to Montana this last January. Paint is still 99.5% intact since he kept it garaged for life and dotted each chip with touch-up. Interior is nearly perfect aside from cracked leather on driver seat bottom with a 4" tear and cracks on left corner of dash. Converted dead Teves II brake system to a Bosch Hydroboost but entirely stock otherwise.. considering new gears for my first upgrade and also stressing out about keeping the paint together for as long as possible.
Yeah! Great job man. Just dropped a 2001 explorer 5.0 into a 4x4 Ranger and now I've been bit by the gt40 bug!!!! This looks like a great sleeper platform!
Phil Ronny these cars are the ultimate sleeper man. People who don’t know much about these cars just look at them and think “oh it’s an old Lincoln.” Little do they know, they’re still a fox platform car with a factory 225 horsepower 5.0 302 and you can make so much power with mods. And they look sick as fuck too. Classy and badass
Nice dude! I’ve got a 1990. It’s in bad shape right now but I’m about to get it going again. It rips, 5 Speed, gt40 upper and lower, twisted wedge heads, b303 cam, and 150 shot of nitrous. I over revved it and spun a bearing or broke a rod. Not sure yet! I’ll post a video soon. Anyways sweet car man, not many around these days.
Noble Speed motoworks thanks man! And yeah these things are becoming scarce especially in decent condition. I’m looking to buy a second one soon so I could use it as a daily. These are my favorite cars
I seen someone with a 1979 Cadillac Seville that they put the running gear from a 1990 IROC Z Camaro 350 TPI the car was just too heavy and not engineered for that kind of power it just never turns out right It was very nicely done and interesting tho
Edgar Osegueda thanks broski! Honestly I do like blacked out headlights, but I've seen them on LSC's and I'm not really a huge fan. And about the steering wheel, I do like it, but it's too small for me 😫 it was on the car when I bought it but I'm going to switch it back to the original two tone steering wheel that I have at my house. I like the original wheel so much better. The feel and the design of it. I love the way it looks with the interior
Gorgeous car.. I hate to be that guy but i doubt your loosing 85 hp @ the crank.. Maybe half that.. Probably a 400-410 crank hp setup. With 365whp is still a beast. Amazing build
I dig your Mark VII, its done right. My buddies and just about everybody else's stock 2011 Coyote Mustangs make the same 365whp but they don't claim 450hp, if asked they would claim the factory rating of 412hp. Drivetrain loss is not a set percentage because that would effectively lead to a larger loss the more power you produce which just does not make sense unless you increase its drag in some way like a heavy duty transmission or rear end swap. Its more of a set constant loss like 45hp which will always be its loss rather than 45hp now but then magically becomes 90hp if you add a supercharger if using percentages. Gale Banks does a better job talking about it on The Smoking Tire Podcast #389 at 1:33:12 mark.
Jeffrey Coleman thanks! I actually just took the black paint off of the grille and it's chrome again. And yeah soon I'm probably going to put flowmaster 40's on it and put pipes on it.
Jesse Medina no way my man! There’s nothing wrong with a stock LSC. I actually miss owning a stock Mark VII. I love this CSR and all, but they’re just as great stock!
Bro wicked car love the trip delete guages where did youbget that done and what kind of trim did you use? I have one as well but no procharger(yet) 😉 love the cobra emblem as well. Ver nice work!!
Sam Schossig yes, relatively it is missing the driver side door panel but other then that the interior is perfect, it’s the dark blue leather, it has all the factory carpets and the body is in really good shape for the price, but you can’t expect it to be perfect for $400, the front driver side airbag suspension is blown, and the idle control valve is stuck, so in its current shape idles at 3,500 rpm, I plan on getting a coil conversion and the idle control is like $25 new on the internet
The California Garage dude for the interior and body alone being nice it's worth the $400. That's a steal. I've never gotten that lucky with my Mark VII's, but my last one was $2200 and it just needed some cleaning up and ran great. I paid $4700 for this one. Well worth it though with the mods and everything. That Paxton SN89 supercharger alone is a couple grand. Not even counting the other mods that are done and the stereo system that's in it and everything. The guy I bought it from put at least $8,000 into it. He had all the bills and everything when I bought the car
The California Garage mine is converted to coils as well. I like the air better, but I wouldn't trust the air with all the power this car has. It does 0-60 in about four seconds and when you get on the gas, the whole front of the car shoots up, so I wouldn't trust all that pressure on the rear bags
Sam Schossig definitely the price I got was really good, but I can tell your car is much much nicer, the paint is absolutely perfect, in California the summer just destroys paint, but I really really like yours, where your aftermarket gauges sit is where my old radio was and I think I’m going to put that kind of setup in there and are the wheels just the oem wheels painted black?
Great Car! niiiiice! glad you put it out there (PS- born and raised in Staten Island, but moved when I was 12). tell me you have more Mark VII videos and i'll subscribe to your channel
Dennis Frechette I definitely will. She’s been off the road for a few months, but I got some original BBS style wheels for her that I’m getting powder coated and getting new tires for. Stay posted man. I’m also sending out the supercharger to be rebuilt so it’ll be brand new. I’ll be posting some new vids very soon. Subscribe and I’ll keep ya posted bro!
Ross Koller the LSC Special Edition was available from 1990-1992 and came with a 225 horsepower 5.0. The trim level was mostly cosmetic with slight changes like suspension and stuff like that. Same horsepower and torque rating as a regular Mark VII though! They actually came with black, tan and sometimes grey interior but this two tone grey interior was actually a dealer custom option, not factory. This is the only one with this interior in existence that every Mark VII owner knows of!
Ross Koller the tints we’re done after, and these wheels are actually from an ‘89 LSC. I have the original wheels which are going to be refinished and powder coated. They came with BBS style lace wheels with black centers and a polished aluminum lip. I’m using these at the moment until I get the originals done. Look up on google 1990-1992 Lincoln LSC Special Edition and you’ll see the wheels I’m talking about. Can’t wait to get them on the car cause they look so good!
Ross Koller oh and all of the performance upgrades like the supercharger and all that were done to the car afterwards. Sorry, forgot to point that out before
I have an 86 lsc I’d consider selling 72k miles new paint no rust beautiful interior rebuilt trans new kenwood speakers and radio new exhaust with chrome tips, silver / grey. Have paper work for everything. Florida car, have original license plate. Solid underneath. Reply if interested.
Justin Martula it just has flowmaster mufflers and they're chopped after the mufflers. I need to get pipes because they rotted out. Honestly it sounds good but it's way too loud haha. I can stand it myself, but it does get a little annoying because it's a daily driver. Also the NYPD doesn't like loud cars very much. And woah nice find brother. Those GTC's are pretty damn hard to come by. I'd love to check it out.
If you are still running air bags you can adjust the ride height sensors so the car thinks it’s sitting high and it will lower about 2”, but it rides softer with less air in the bags
I understand. I wouldn't last a week in NYC. Isn't it great to live in a country where we can live where we want and drive what we want? Great car. Happy New Year!
Wrong, it’s a pro charger, common mistake look them up, I’m no expert but they act almost like a turbo that’s setup like a supercharger if I’m not mistaken

Dude I just bought an 89 with 93,000 for 700.This is my second one I've had.Theyre not very popular where I live,but I like them.
Bruce Lee nice bro!! That’s a great deal because these cars have no market anymore and they either go for dirt cheap in great condition, or crazy money in shit condition. Cherish that baby brother. These cars are my favorite cars ever. I’ll drive LSC’s until I die.
193000*** 5 digit odo.. Dummy
Lester Diamond guy before me painted them black. I took them off a while ago. I couldn’t stand them either but I didn’t have any spare wheels at the time
@samschossig Car sounds real nice..Grew up around these wonderful yet underappreciated cars in Queens NY

Jesse Medina that’s a good deal man keep that baby forever!!
I promise you it doesn't have those Low miles.. There was onky 5 digit odo back then..
Where did you get the Bosh hydroboost from? My system went out too.
Something about a Lincoln with NY plates they just go together man 👍💪. God bless you and your ride 🙏
Yeah! Great job man. Just dropped a 2001 explorer 5.0 into a 4x4 Ranger and now I've been bit by the gt40 bug!!!! This looks like a great sleeper platform!

So bad! I have tons of respect for people modifying cars that are different. Nice build!
Nice dude! I’ve got a 1990. It’s in bad shape right now but I’m about to get it going again. It rips, 5 Speed, gt40 upper and lower, twisted wedge heads, b303 cam, and 150 shot of nitrous.

Nice ride man. Remembered those in grammar school. Always wanted to have one
mustangcircut thank you man!
Awesome car !! Nice job
I seen someone with a 1979 Cadillac Seville that they put the running gear from a 1990 IROC Z Camaro 350 TPI the car was just too heavy and not engineered for that kind of power it just never turns out right It was very nicely done and interesting tho
Nice bro just black out those headlights... had that same steering wheel on my 88 GT Fox
Edgar Osegueda thanks broski! Honestly I do like blacked out headlights, but I've seen them on LSC's and I'm not really a huge fan.

freaking awesome....love the mark 7. had one back in 1990
Sexiest Mark VII I've ever seen and damn it sounds good
Gorgeous car.. I hate to be that guy but i doubt your loosing 85 hp @ the crank.. Maybe half that.. Probably a 400-410 crank hp setup. With 365whp is still a beast. Amazing build
Love the color....I need one.....supercharge definitely 💯
Awesome car bro 🤘🏻
Sweet ride
What a beast
Thanks! She’s definitely a Frankenstein and nowhere near showroom condition, but she’s mine and it really is an awesome car to own
How did you take out the trip computer. I tried that and it fucked with my voltage regulater and alternator ?
I dig your Mark VII, its done right.

Nice job
Greetings from the UK, nicely done :)
Alex 90 thanks bro!
I like the black grill are you thinking about changing the exhaust
Jeffrey Coleman thanks! I actually just took the black paint off of the grille and it's chrome again. And yeah soon I'm probably going to put flowmaster 40's on it and put pipes on it.
You're putting my LSC to shame.. jealous..
Jesse Medina no way my man! There’s nothing wrong with a stock LSC. I actually miss owning a stock Mark VII. I love this CSR and all, but they’re just as great stock!
Bro wicked car love the trip delete guages where did youbget that done and what kind of trim did you use? I have one as well but no procharger(yet) 😉 love the cobra emblem as well. Ver nice work!!
I just picked up a 88 mark viii for $400 and it runs, I was thinking about getting a new block and building it
The California Garage nice dude is the body and interior clean?
Sam Schossig yes, relatively it is missing the driver side door panel but other then that the interior is perfect, it’s the dark blue leather, it has all the factory carpets and the body is in really good shape for the price, but you can’t expect it to be perfect for $400, the front driver side airbag suspension is blown, and the idle control valve is stuck, so in its current shape idles at 3,500 rpm, I plan on getting a coil conversion and the idle control is like $25 new on the internet

Would love to do one of these with a worked over 347 and a quiet exhaust....
Sam, did you have the wondering idle problom with any of your mark 7s?
Very, very cool....
Is there any way I can get that hold set up from you?
Don't forget...Fairmont doors !!
Great Car! niiiiice! glad you put it out there (PS- born and raised in Staten Island, but moved when I was 12). tell me you have more Mark VII videos and i'll subscribe to your channel
tattooedmillionaire thanks bro!! She’s off the road until spring, but I will definitely be uploading a bunch more videos! And nice!! I’m in Queens!
My Father was from Brooklyn and my Uncle From The Bronx. Haven't been thru Queens since the 80's. I just subscribed, lookin' forward to seeing more!
tattooedmillionaire awesome brother! And yeah definitely more videos coming soon!
Post more videos of the car, my very first car was an 88 mark 7 I've been hooked ever since
Dennis Frechette I definitely will. She’s been off the road for a few months, but I got some original BBS style wheels for her that I’m getting powder coated and getting new tires for. Stay posted man. I’m also sending out the supercharger to be rebuilt so it’ll be brand new. I’ll be posting some new vids very soon. Subscribe and I’ll keep ya posted bro!
You still got it
Yes
Nice to see I'm not the only one working on one. I'm actually looking to turn my 89 into a drag racer. How was it looking for parts?
I actually put my LSC on the lift just a couple hours ago and pulled off my broken passenger side pipe... rusted off... at the muffler. Eerie..
Jesse Medina that happened to my first Mark VII haha
I've had my tail pipes rust off a lot because of the brine and salt they put on the roads
Good video Sam!
Christopher Hicks thanks bro! It was just a quick one I wanna make a better one soon
Do you still have this car dude? LSC came with factory supercharger didn't it?
what grant installation kit do I need for my mark? part numbers would be appreciated. thanks
Was the special edition only for this year? And was it just a appearance package or did it come with performance upgrades as well?
Ross Koller the LSC Special Edition was available from 1990-1992 and came with a 225 horsepower 5.0. The trim level was mostly cosmetic with slight changes like suspension and stuff like that. Same horsepower and torque rating as a regular Mark VII though! They actually came with black, tan and sometimes grey interior but this two tone grey interior was actually a dealer custom option, not factory. This is the only one with this interior in existence that every Mark VII owner knows of!
Sam Schossig so the special edition was blacked out chrome and tinted windows and blacked out wheels?
Ross Koller the tints we’re done after, and these wheels are actually from an ‘89 LSC. I have the original wheels which are going to be refinished and powder coated. They came with BBS style lace wheels with black centers and a polished aluminum lip. I’m using these at the moment until I get the originals done. Look up on google 1990-1992 Lincoln LSC Special Edition and you’ll see the wheels I’m talking about. Can’t wait to get them on the car cause they look so good!
Ross Koller oh and all of the performance upgrades like the supercharger and all that were done to the car afterwards. Sorry, forgot to point that out before
I have an 86 lsc I’d consider selling 72k miles new paint no rust beautiful interior rebuilt trans new kenwood speakers and radio new exhaust with chrome tips, silver / grey. Have paper work for everything. Florida car, have original license plate. Solid underneath. Reply if interested.
VoiViD how much
Did you swap out the air ride?
What is this jersey or ny? No room at all in your driveway sheesh. Nice car tho
Dope car... 👏👏👍👍
where at in NY bro, putting it up for sale or what!??
vinny garritano Woodside and not for sale sorry 😁
What did you do to make it sound like that at idle? Just got a 86 gtc if you can believe it.
Justin Martula it just has flowmaster mufflers and they're chopped after the mufflers. I need to get pipes because they rotted out. Honestly it sounds good but it's way too loud haha. I can stand it myself, but it does get a little annoying because it's a daily driver. Also the NYPD doesn't like loud cars very much. And woah nice find brother. Those GTC's are pretty damn hard to come by. I'd love to check it out.
I want one, very soon
Where are you bro Maspeth?
Dan Ski Woodside. Good eye lol
Sam Schossig nice. I used to live in bayside
Sexy ride brother...
thomas vess thank you!!
Itl looks like darth vader mean looking!!!!! 👍
Hey how are you? I would love to know how do you lower a mark 7?
Anival Negron you’d have to convert it to springs if you’d want to lower it
If you are still running air bags you can adjust the ride height sensors so the car thinks it’s sitting high and it will lower about 2”, but it rides softer with less air in the bags
Noble Speed motoworks yeah you can do that too. Can’t lower it that much but you can also do that
If you have the factory air ride just adjust the sensor behind the grot wheels and the back has only one on the diff
I just got bit by the bug via Gbodys being stupid expensive and all chopped here. Damn this is (NOT) helping.
But fuck this is a nice ride.
So you live like 10 feet from your neighbor?
St White it’s Queens, New York, so yes.
St White it’s like this in all of New York City lol
Oh. Sorry.
St White nothing to be sorry about, I choose to live in NYC. Born and raised. I can’t survive in the sticks lol
I understand. I wouldn't last a week in NYC. Isn't it great to live in a country where we can live where we want and drive what we want? Great car. Happy New Year!
Me Likey
Michael Underhill thanks brother!
Actually that is turbo charged and not supercharged.
Wrong, it’s a pro charger, common mistake look them up, I’m no expert but they act almost like a turbo that’s setup like a supercharger if I’m not mistaken
Wow all you're missing now on it is the iroc-z sticker on it
need brake work on teves brake sys
Murdered out chrome doesnt look good on a lincoln
