might be buying a Mark VII Reply #15 – April 28, 2012, 11:33:49 PM Why would you want to part it? It looks good. I could see if it was a basket case but like I said, it looks to good to do that to it. Quote Selected
might be buying a Mark VII Reply #16 – April 28, 2012, 11:41:05 PM I would love to have a nice one to drive, but its pretty rusty underneath. the trunk lid is missing alot of metal due to rust. exhaust is shot. the air suspension is shot. and nearly nothing works on the dash due to electrical glitches. and I dont need another driver, got the TC for that, and parking space is a premium. i figure if the TC motor ever pukes, i can pull this drivetrain out from under the bench, and install. it would take several hundred dollars to make this road worthy, and thats not even touching the rust issues.

might be buying a Mark VII Reply #25 – May 03, 2012, 10:23:16 PM well i figured out a freind lives about a mile down the road from where the car is at. so i can drive it at least that far. I think he'll let me pull the drivetrain there ( I hope) other wise the car is about 15 miles from my house. sunday sunda sunday! is the day. I'll take some more pictures Quote Selected

might be buying a Mark VII Reply #27 – May 06, 2012, 06:41:29 PM well i picked it up today. today it had NO air suspension goin on, so it was a rough ride home. but wow, what a motor it has in it. i have the spec sheet on it, it has the B303 roller cam, gt40 heads, 65mm TB , headers, big in tank fuel pump, roller rockers, etc. it winds up pretty good! still has 5 year old gas in it, and i couldnt go more than 30mph or it would start bouncing all over the place, but the motor felt and sounded nice. looked it over again, it has some rust bubbles here and there, but its not all that bad. the worst part is the trunklid, and the guy gives me a rust free used trunklid too! anyway its at a buddys house for right now until i figure out what to do with it.
