My dad was the 2nd owner of this 2 door Gentleman's automobile. He purchased it from an estate sale years ago. He died last year, and this vehicle has been stored in his garage since then. The vehicle has been maintained and is still running well. New battery installed July 2024, with 2 year warranty.
Powered by a 302ci with TBI and automatic OD transmission.
Marti report states there 103 of this model and trim manufactured. Report included in pictures.
Blue leather inside, blue carpet, clean and shiny. Still has a new car smell.
Clean title.
My father made some minimal replacements in order to make this a dependable ride:
Rear brake calipers were replaced.
AC orifice valve in the R-12 system was replaced and system flushed and re filled with R-12, which blows icy cold and works in all functions including automatic.
In 2021, the original tires were replaced even though the old ones showed no wear or rot. Since then, he made several trips between Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. He called it an old school “Magic Carpet Ride”, and the ride and feel of the car is similar to a Lincoln Town Car.
For the sale: This fine vehicle may not be a high value target for the masses, but it is exactly as described. Those of us that grew up with real cars know what a rarity it is, especially as a two door. It has versatility for modifications, if that's your thing.
History of 1st owner: This vehicle was originally purchased in Akron Ohio. The gentleman had professional undercoating service performed and being that a Grand Marquis came with every option such as all electric windows, seats and power antenna etc. Only thing left was to enjoy the drive in comfort. I like the fact that it is a two door, half padded vinyl top. It’s a beautiful thing. So Grandpa passed away and Grandma found it too big for her to drive but would not part with the reminder of the man she loved. Always kept in the garage, the family serviced, drove and had a tender on the battery. Again, when I got the car, the tires did not have any cracks and everything else that may dry up and have issues are non existent. When Grandma passed, the vehicle became available in the estate and I purchased it.
