Vehicle Detail

HERE IS ANOTHER GREAT BARN FIND... A VERY CLEAN MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS THAT HAS A 460 V8 ENGINE AND 100000 MILES. THE CAR HAS SHINY PAINT IN VERY NICE CONDITION WITH A VINYL TOP THAT IS ALSO IN GOOD SHAPE. THERE CAR HAS NO RUST. THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND HOLDING AIR, CLEAN TITLEAND LOOKS PRETTY GOOD DESPITE A COUPLE OF SMALL DENTS THE INTERIOR IS CLOTH AND ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE THE CARPETS ARE CLEAN AND ORIGINAL AND PERFECT. THE DOORS, TRUNK AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE EASILY SHOWING THERE IS NO FRAME DAMAGE OR ROT OR SAGGING GOING ON... THE ENGINE RUNS AND DRIVES WELL AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS NORMALLY THE CAR HAS A CLEAN TITLE , WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW A GRAND MARQUIS BEFORE THEY WERE DOWNSIZED IN 1979? THIS CAR HAS THE LARGEST ENGINE FORD OFFERED THAT YEAR, A 460 AND I BELIEVE ITS A 4 VALVE. THE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN WHERE THE CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN GARAGED UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. IT HAS NOT HAD A DETAIL AND OUTSIDE USING A NEW BATTERY AND FRESH GAS TO START IT THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED OR DETAILED YET.... THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, THEY ARE INFLATED AND HOLD AIR. BUMPERS HAVE NO DAMAGE OR RUST, THE CHROME IS NICE. THERE ARE NO LEAKS UNDER THE CAR, THE SUSPENSION IS NOT SAGGING AND WITH A DETAIL THIS CAR WILL LOOK STELLAR. PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION AND FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME QUESTIONS NOT COVERED HERE. THANK YOU! THE FRONT RIGHT FENDER HAS A CRINKLE BOTTOM RIGHT THERE IS SOME PAINT PEELLING ON THE TOP OF THE DOORS, THE VINYL TOP IS SPLIT AND NEEDS REPLACING BUT OTHER THAN THAT THE PAINT LOOKS GREAT, THE CHROME AND GLASS ARE ALL IN GREAT SHAPE. THE INTERIOR IS IN GREAT SHAPE AS WELL, NO TEARS, THE CARPETS HAVE SURVIVED NICELY AND IT LOOKS GREAT FROM 5 FEET AWAY. UP CLOSE YOU CAN SEE WHAT I AM DESCRIBING HERE BUT CONSIDERING THIS HAS BEEN A NEW ENGLAND CAR ITS IN ASTONISHINGLY GOOD SHAPE. THE MOTOR IS A 460 V-8 WHICH STARTS EASILY AND IS SMOOTH AND QUIET. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO ALL GEARS SMOOTHLY AND DOES NOT THUNK OR HAVE A DELAY. THERE IS AN EXHAUST LEAK JUST BEHIND THE ENGINE. THE SUSPENSION FEELS GOOD, THE CAR DOES NOT SAG BUT AGAIN THIS IS A 1970'S LUXURY BARGE THAT IS ESSENTIALLY A LINCOLN CONTINENTAL
