$1500. https://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/d/lynden-1976-mercury-marquis-colony-park/6840938604.html
What a shame. That thing is totally loaded, even rear window washer. I’d love the rocker molding and cornering lamps. The rear window washer would be nice too. Those are the only options I don’t have.
Looks like the interior is salvageable for the most part. needs carpet, but there seems to be a lot of goodness in there.
Yeah I think that’s right. He’s gonna send me more pics headliner etc. the Dinoc looks pretty good, not sure it’s original Rosewood, but it looks good the two CP scripts are missing. Got those, got plenty of wheel covers, and have an extra rear bumper if that one doesn’t clean up with 0000 steel wool, and Wenol. So just waiting on my shipping guys number, and hopefully we can make magic happen.
Did this sale go through? Cause the pics have shown up again with a huge price jump. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/seattle-1976-mercury-colony-park/6873485119.html
WOW. From $1,500 to $9,900. What a difference a set of wheel covers makes! Well Morparandfomco man I guess Anthony can save the polishing on this one. Holy Cow. Unfortunately the buyer was not me. But using his math I’m gonna put my ‘77 that’s like this one up on Craigslist for $87,000. It’s truly a nice original with 30,000 miles on it, and has a 460 and power mini-vents. I think that’s reasonable if you can get nearly 10 times the purchase price. Wouldn’t you agree jwdtenn? I can’t even see that he waxed it. The interior looks a bit cleaner. Wait a moment as I just threw up. Wonder if it still has the broken tail light. So nice he gave this old family friend a name. Wonder if he saw what the Griswall family truckster went for at the Florida auction. Maybe that’s where he got his low price. Less than 1000 sold.... hmmmm
I wonder if it's the same guy or a flipper. Either way, this is stupid. Maybe that thumper on the back floor is there for a reason....
Naw. The kid I talked to initially just wanted to get rid of it. It was his daily driver. I think this was snapped up by a flipper. This guy sounds like a yo yo. His Griswall story and his only a 1000 made stories. He probably dumped another $1,000 in it and wants to make his killing. I want to see his Marti report.
my comments...…………….. This car has no exhaust on it except for the y-pipe(daily driver?), which would indicate a 400 as the 460 came with dual exhaust in 1977. I don't see any evidence of a tailgate window washer, it does not even have rear defrost. I also don't see the mini-vents, power windows yes. It is a shame, it was a nice car once.
I think if you look real close at the tailgate molding it has the little lift door. Not to clear on these pics, but the first set of photos showed it. Yeah its a 400 car, and no defrost. Nicely equipped, I just couldn’t, knowingly pay anywhere near this guys ransom price knowing it was a $1,500 car, especially in light of the fact it doesn’t appear that that much has gone into improving its overall condition.
Looks like Knucklehead is having an epiphany. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/seattle-1976-mercury-colony-park/6882910219.html
