1992 Lincoln Mark VII LSC

1992 was the Mark VII's final year: the last car was built on April 22, 1992, at Wixom, Michigan, with the Mark VIII replacing it for 1993. Conceptcarz gives a series total of 190,832 cars across the whole 1984-1992 run, a figure distinct from any single 1992-year count and confirmed by Wikipedia's own matching series total. The line remained the LSC and the Bill Blass Edition, both standard with the 225-hp 5.0-liter V8 and four-speed overdrive automatic, the same engine and transmission carried by both trims for the entire model year without a running change documented.^1,2

The 1992-specific production figure is disputed between conceptcarz's 8,880 and Wikipedia's club-sourced 5,732, with Wikipedia assigning that same 8,880 figure to 1991 instead. This record's own production notes observe that Wikipedia's year-by-year figures sum to its 190,832 series total, while conceptcarz's 8,880 for 1992 would not fit that same series total without a different 1991 figure; the conceptcarz number may in fact be a misfiled 1991 figure rather than a genuine 1992 count. Neither compilation traces to a Ford production report or the Standard Catalog, so this record shows both without choosing one.^1,2

The 1992 price is likewise disputed: conceptcarz gives a $30,740-$30,860 range without assigning either end to the LSC or the Bill Blass specifically, while Old Car Memories separately gives a $32,032 base price for the year. Neither source states whether destination charges are included in its figure, so the roughly $1,200-$1,300 gap between the two readings is not attributable to that alone, and this record does not attempt to reconcile the two into a single number.^1,3

The 5.0-liter (302 cid) H.O. V8 remained rated 225 hp at 4,200 rpm and 300 lb-ft at 3,200 rpm, with no induction type stated for it in the sources available; the four-speed overdrive automatic remained the only transmission, with no manual documented for the final year. A curb weight of 3,800 lb is given without stating which trim it describes, and the wheelbase held at 108.5 in. The LSC's own tires and wheels are separately reported as P225/60R16 Goodyear Eagle GT+4 on 16-inch aluminum wheels, a specification the source describes as holding from 1988 onward rather than as new for the final model year specifically.^1,2,3

Wikipedia records Deep Jewel Green Metallic as a new and comparatively rare exterior color for 1992, the only color specifically documented for the year in an accessible source. One further claim was found but not tabulated: a Lincoln Mark VII Club forum post reportedly states that 178 of the 5,732 cars built in 1992 (on Wikipedia's own reading of that year) were finished in Deep Jewel Green Metallic specifically; the claim was seen only as a search-result snippet, since the forum page itself now redirects, so it is carried as an unpublished lead rather than a confirmed production split. No exterior color chart beyond this single new shade, no interior trim listing, and no options list were found in an accessible documented source for the Mark VII's last year, and no performance-test data was found either.²
