1978 Mercury Marquis, This is a really authentic, great
condition Marquis sedan. It is the top of the line with the 400ci
engine. The car is very original in all aspects and is a rare and
wonderful find.This is a genuine 1 owner car that spent its whole
life in the Florida, coddled and was never used in the snow. It was
"grand dad's" pride and joy until he passed away. It is showing a
very modest 67,100 miles. So pristine, she looks like 10,000 miles.
Finished in “Black (original) paint“ with tan velour interior that
is in perfect unblemished condition. The car has all original
fitments including a new (old) radio with iPhone input and usb
plug. New white wall tires on original (real) mag wheels.??The car
has been recently gone over and everything is in good operating
condition. A list of replaced or serviced parts is included at the
bottom. The engine runs smooth and powerful, with no oil leaks.
Brakes are great and the car stops sure. All features and functions
work well with the heater hot and A/C ice cold. All windows,
mirrors, radio, wipers, exterior and interior lights work as they
should. The headlight covers work every time and have new electric
actuators!??The car was rust treated at time of new delivery by the
Mercury dealer back in 1978. You can see the hole plugs used on the
inside edges for this process. The "yucky" black you see under the
hood is this treatment. Under the hood, is otherwise as immaculate
as the rest of the car.??The body is entirely rust free and the
underside is clean. The whole car is very straight, accident free
and has never had any body repair. This is evidenced by the
original factory stickers and markings on the inside edges and
under the hood. The paint appears to be completely factory original
and looks fantastic. There are minor nicks and chips but nothing
else - not even a ding! It is very shiny, consistent and simply
looks great from close and afar. The original vinyl top is perfect.
??All rubber, glass and trim fixtures are in wonderful condition
without any signs of fading, marks or scratches. The bumpers have
early signs of pitting but no rust! The chrome on the car is good
with minor oxidation from sitting.??The interior is absolutely
fantastic! This is the hall mark of this Grand Marquis and makes
the car look like she is only a couple of years old. Finished in a
light tan velour, she looks incredibly sharp. The dash is prefect
without any sun-fading or cracking. All the faux wood and chrome
finishings are in good condition. The dash cluster is like new. In
fact the whole dash looks like new! The steering column without
scratches (even by the key) and the steering wheel excellent
without a single crack. The fabric seats are in simply amazing
presentation and condition, totally clean and without even a thread
pulled. Carpets, door panels, handles, switches, knobs and every
little item is virtually perfect (carpet does have one small tear).
The interior is without doubt a 9 out of 10. Just stunning. ??The
car all round is very original in all respects and a great
driver.
