Vehicle Description
A cool-cruising survivor-grade classic that even has cold-blowing
A/C. So yeah, we know you like this 1978 Mercury Marquis even
before you checked out the ultra-affordable price.
Covered headlights, a matching vinyl roof, and a profile as long as
the horizon - this classic makes a statement everywhere it goes.
But more than just knowing how to make an entrance, this sedan will
really impress people who take the time to get to know it better.
The Dove Gray paint is the same that was applied at the factory
nearly 40 years ago. And speaking of originality, all the delicate
trim is in place. This includes all the sweeping profile pieces
that run the full length of the car. And since the panels have been
treated with such great respect, all of this trim appears like an
unbroken line. You'll love all the details from the crest at the
base of the roof, to the rear fender skirts, to the turbine-style
factory wheel covers - it's truly an impressive luxury
survivor.
The burgundy interior provides a bold and comfortable place that's
perfect for cruising. This has the space and seatbelts to seat up
to six, but when it's just you, the fold-down armrest provides
individualized comfort. As a true Mercury, you've got great options
like power steering, AM/FM stereo, power windows, and plenty of
wood paneling on the dash. Even the air conditioning was converted
to modern R134a to make sure you're ready to take this one out any
time of year.
Under the hood is a true Ford legend. The 351 cubic-inch V8 is the
perfect motor to reliably and economically add a ton of performance
parts to create the ultimate sleeper. Then again, with this
numbers-matching motor looking so original, right down to the
decals in the engine bay, it would be a shame not to continue
letting lovers of originality marvel at this time capsule. Besides,
this V8 already has so much torque that you'll love the way it
pulls away from every stoplight. And when you factor in the
three-speed automatic transmission, front disc brakes, and
Mercury's luxury ride, you soon realize how much fun cool cruising
can be.
Complete with the full owner's manual packet, this survivor-grade
full-size luxury sedan is a true delight. And at this price, you
can indulge without feeling guilty. Don't miss out, call today!
