97 Mark VIII LSC

[Blkdvl]

Picked up a '97 LSC a few weeks back. Outside is Silver Frost with Light Graphite leather interior. Bone stock with 43k miles. I picked it up for $3400 with ALL maintenance records. I am the third owner.

Yesterday I finally got around to having the mufflers knocked off of it, but kept the factory tips. Here's a quick vid. Tell me what you think.

Took some pictures today, and another exhaust clip of the silver bullet. Future mods include sensor lowering, and powder coating the valve covers in spring.

Dude I hate you!! I want one of these bad but looks like I'll have to wait until summer. I would love to find one with a sunroof as well.


That LSC looks spankin' clean!

edit: In my opinion, I think you should do a full custom exhaust instead of chopping stuff off. The popular mod is using a Magnaflow dual in / dual out muffler in the center (replaces the 3rd cat) and using two high flow cats and all 2.25 or 2.5" tubing throughout.

damn $3400's pretty cheap even if 12 yrs old. car's clean

 

[VenomousDSG]

WTF 3400!!!!! How?

Those are great cars.

I've seen them cheaper. For whatever reason they have horrible resale. Great car.

You've seen a 40K mile, stock, great condition one go for less than 3,400? Please share! I've been looking for a black one on ebay for a while now and ones with that low of mileage go for minimum 7K.

very nice, if you plan on having fun do the j mod, replace the accum springs and put a trans cooler on it.

Also, fuel pumps are known to go bad.

edit, that sounds good for just having no mufflers.

Thank you guys for all the comments. Yeah, I love this car. It took me a little while to deal with the styling, but the real seller for me is the engine. Mmmm DOHC. To me, the car w/o mufflers and factory exhaust sounds like a Termi with o/r xpipe and mufflers. I have a very limited budget due to the economy and having a (almost) 2 year old, so the mods have to be 'half assed' but classy lol. I'm thinking I want the exhaust just a tad louder, along the lines of removing the third cat and putting an xpipe in its place.

I don't know about you guys, but I think paying $3400 for a car with 40k miles, all maintanence records, fully loaded, and on a vehicle who's sticker was $42,000.....is not a "pretty good deal", but @#$%^%$ SWEET DEAL!!!

My tech teacher bought one and had us strip it out and when we deflated the air ride it looked pretty cool slammed

Great buy! i've always liked the Mk VIIIs.
Only hate it when people get them that don't pay attention to them...they get the tires changed and have wheels on one side going opposite directions. Don't realize they are side specific. Looks so lame.

Id keep the valve covers the way they are and maybe just lose those plastic pieces. and maybe put on a cobra intake manifold if that is possible.

Man that is a great car, my dad is looking at getting one.. Those are some bad ass rides!

 

[Paulinator]

slam it now and it'll be badass.

it has air ride suspension that lowers it 2 inches at 65mph...

 

[sonic_4.6]

Haha, sweet video. I really enjoyed my Mark VIIIs. A J-Mod shift kit is mandatory though. Bumps the fun factor up.

 

[M3xpress]

Congrats, sounds like an awesome deal.

I remember when I was little my Dad got one back when it was new, and I thought it was pretty cool then.

You can run a switch that makes it stay lowered at any speed. My LSC had that, although I don't have any pictures of it slammed I don't think. It looked awesome.

Nice..
