How'd you get your MN12?

I was driving a super clean, less than 40k mile 84 Lincoln Mark VII that got totalled by a hit&run driver on an ice-covered road. I did not have full coverage on the car that I only paid $3500 for a year earlier. A semi-local dealer had advertised that they had 7 "executive driven" demo Super Coupes ( I had also been looking at an early 90s blue&white Corvette. Since I never wanted a dime-a-dozen car (Mustang or Camaro), and didn't want to be car poor by spending $6k more on the Corvette, I ended up buying the black 92 SC that I test drove. It only had 11,608 miles when I bought it and hit more than 100 mph on my drive home 😉

I still own this car. It has more than 150k miles, has had 3 different engines and 11 ( not a typo) transmissions in my quest to go semi-fast. In hindsight, the Corvette would have been cheaper, but I would not have met many of the best friends that I have because of the SC.

I actually have never sold an MN12, and currently own 6.5 of them.

My 85 T-Bird had 230,000 miles on it, was getting rusty after 10 years, headliner was drooping, and I was doing 6 hour round trip commutes in heavy traffic 2 or 3 times a week. Picked up my 95 LX 4.6 new at the dealer on the day of my wedding anniversary, something my wife won't let me forget when I was 38 years old. A year later I took a work from home job and stopped piling up miles on the car which is why it is still running great today and I'm 69 years old. Longest I've ever owned a car.

I got my 97’ in 2020 from some guy on FB marketplace for $1000, crazy part was there was another guy just before me who test drove the car and did a lil burnout with the owner in it. I guess his offer was too low.

When it came to my turn he asked what my offer was, popped out the $1000 and that was it. Been mine for a solid 6 years, got it with 82k miles on the odometer.

That is the way to do it! Glad you still have it taking care of it.
