Well my super-secret AMC deal fell through (again, for like the 3rd time since April) but another fell in my lap. It's a 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII. It's Black/Black with the DOHC version of my P71's 4.6. The airbags work, but the interior is trashed, the paint is trashed (and rolled on over battle-scars that would put a LeMons car to shame), and the thing overheats. Also it's on T-Bird wheels (which are the wrong offset, so they rub inboard) and 1 donut (the 4th normal tire has a chunk of angle iron stuck in it! 
).
Don't get me wrong, it might have potential (straight, no rust, moonroof, all the electrics work, ~120K miles) but I'm finding clean local ones for $1500. This one is priced at $500 and the seller has already agreed to at least $300. I'm thinking more like $200 and then I'll strip the thing (the airbags gotta be worth some coin, and then I'll have a DOHC and a spare 4R70W!).
Advice from the peanut gallery?
! 129K miles, clean title, current plates, 2 sets of keys, keyless and alarm works, all of the electronics work, and it starts right up. Air shocks work and hold air just fine, trans shifts great, engine revs out to redline, and it even has a 1-year old rack & pinion (to the tune of $400).
