John_S_in_Penna 3,647 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 A nice looking car! I was going to comment on how affordable the cars are from the 1970's, but then I noticed his high price. $12,500 for a car with 108,000 miles is more expensive than even a Lincoln would be. Thank you for sharing it. It should be available for a long time, and it will be interesting to see whether the price is greatly lowered over time. $4500, anyone? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JamesR 1,204 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Quote 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis Hardtop This car car looks to have some of the quality that was entirely absent in my 1978 Mercury Zephyr way back when. (So that's where it went! ) I agree with John on the price, though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
jframe 224 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Don't think that is a Windsor motor. Looks to be a 351M/400 to me. Nice car though. Link to post Share on other sites

The picture above makes it appear so; the other pictures don't show it as clearly but don't seem to reveal any misalignment. What do others think? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
GregLaR 2,718 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Good eye John. I missed that. It certainly does look to be tweaked downwards. Link to post Share on other sites

The rear bumper appears to be tilted downward. There should be a markdown! Edited February 7 by 6T-FinSeeker (see edit history) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

GregLaR 2,718 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 It's a nice car but there are a lot more popular choices for $12,500. Price can be the only reason this car hasn't sold. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Price can be the only reason this car hasn't sold. I agree. Even if it was a full load, 2 tone, skirts, alloy wheels, 460, mint condition they won't break the $10k barrier. That's in Canadian funds. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TG57Roadmaster 335 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Interior suggests it's the base Marquis for 1978, not mid-level Grand Marquis. http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/mercury/78mq/78mq.html 1 Link to post Share on other sites
