This my new to me economy car.

:yahoo: 62,000 miles on it!

 

[dan filipi]

Yeah baby, my kind of car!

Looks like it's 2 cars wide Lol.

 

[slabghost]

Might be two cars wide but is really 3 cars long if you are using the little new cars. It's actually about a foot longer than the new Silverado. The interior looks new. No damage anywhere. Even the dash is without cracks.

Sweet ride :mrgreen:
Good enough for McGarrett .

 

[Omega Man]

Awesome! Few really appreciate cars like these. Lucky you.

~O~

 

[Steve83]

Yeah - a real classy car! You're ridin' in the lap of luxury!

all my uncle ira use to buy were grand marquis

 

[brianinpa]

The older the better V! Cool looking car even for a Ford product... :smilie_happy:

 

[Steve83]

A neighbor had a baby blue '69 Grand Marquis, and it was possibly the nicest, smoothest, most cumfy ride I've ever been in. So, Slab, is it a 302, a 351, or what?

 

[silverbullet]

Nice!! When I used to carpool to work back in the 80's. one of the fellows had one. His was a 77.

 

[moreorless]

Heck of a find with that low mileage!

 

[joedrum]

yep I like it a lot

I believe it has the 400ci motor but as yet I've not verified it. My wife calls it a spaceship. :hihihi:

 

[Steve83]

Might be a 400, or - gasp - a 460! '78 was the last year they were available. After that, all you could get was the 302 or 351.
