Vehicle Description
A cool-cruising survivor-grade classic that even has a big V8,
power everything, and cold-blowing A/C. So yeah, we know you like
this 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis even before you checked out the
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 coupe will
really impress people who take the time to get to know it better.
The Dark Midnight Blue paint is believed to be the same that was
applied at the factory 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.
Inside is more great originality, and it also continues this car's
full blue theme. And on a car that has averaged barely over 1,000
miles annually, everything looks so nicely preserved on the door
panels, dash, carpeting, and seats. This has the expansive space
and seatbelts for seating up to six, but when it's just you, the
fold-down armrest provides individualized comfort. In fact, your
seat even power adjusts to the ideal position. As a true premium
Mercury, you've got great options like power steering, power
windows, power locks, cruise control, and plenty of wood paneling
on the dash. Even the AM/FM 8-track stereo is still working. And if
you can find cartridges, feel free to power down the windows and
crank up the tunes, because the factory air conditioning is also
blowing nice and cold.
The blue theme even continues under the hood thanks to the Ford's
big blue block. You want a '78, because it was the last year for
the massive 460 cubic-inch V8. This was in the lower compression
era, and since the motor is believed to be original, that's a good
thing. It means this is a survivor that's already built to handle
unleaded gasoline. Plus, the big V8 retains enough torque to pull a
boat. Of course, you will likely never want to tow a yacht in this
big bodied car, but it's this kind of available strength that
allows you to smoothly and quickly cruise away from the stoplight.
The whole engine bay looks as factory-fresh as the exterior of this
coupe. In fact, as you look over all the details, there are so many
original components that you even still see the factory tags. While
this preservation is impressive, we know you won't be able to
resist adding miles to the odometer. It has power steering, front
disc brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission. So this is
the kind of luxury that can easily take you in comfort to car shows
as far away as you want.
Complete with the original window sticker, owner's manual, and
warranty card, this survivor-grade full-size luxury coupe is a true
delight. And at this price, you can indulge without feeling guilty.
