1985 Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park

Is that MAK's old car?

 

It has to be. The colors match up and the mileage is too close to be a coincidence.

 

Morning everyone
Yes, this was my car, I drove it up from Harrisonburg VA to Elkton, MD about 250 miles. The Auto Check still has me as the last owner, Seller paid me $6,000, if I still had it I'd ask for $9,000 based on todays market, would settle for $7,500 -
Seller really wanted a wagon that would match his Ranchero Woodie, think he "settled" for mine, so not totally surprised he's unloading.
Still think it's a pretty car

 

MAK , I see your Colony Park is Back on Ebay again ! GEEZ ! I think it's a pretty-dang Nice MERC !

 

Had trouble pasting the address but here is the photo:

 

Well I went in to Ebay and with 7 hrs and 20 minutes it’s sitting at $5,400.

 

Hi everyone
Yes it's back again, Listed on ebay and with Classic Auto Mall, believe the person that bought it from me pulled it off ebay and consigned to Classic, I know he changed out the brake rotors, caliper's and pads. Still a nice car, even with rust coming back thru the lower passenger door - It is not surface rust - there is actually a hole thru the sheet metal, I "band-aid" bondo fixed, to me the car was a driver and wasn't going to have the metal cut out and redone - when I sold it the buyer knew this was the case. I posted the issue on the forum back in May 2017. Another issue was the spare tire well had rusted out at the bottom, again "band-aid repair" cut the damage out, cleaned it up, pop riveted a new pc of sheet metal to the bottom and undercoated, anyone that looked at it would know.
In July of 2019 the car had 60,853 miles when I sold it in October 2019 I believe it had 61,083 - now has 61,767
With the work I did to the car, and the brakes redone, should be a pretty decent car. the rust issue is sever or structural and even having it repaired correctly shouldn't be to costly.
Hope it finds a good home at last - If anyone has a question about it just send me a message

$7400. is what it sold for the 1st time I sold this on eBay back in July of 2019, In my opinion the car at a push is worth $8500-$9000, & I love the car - if reserve is higher than that someone is dreaming
To Really get top $$ the front seats would have to be redone and the rust taken care of properly. Between what I did and the next owner did there isn't much left to do mechanically

Very cool to hear from someone who actually has owned it before. I was one of the bidders on eBay for your past wagon when I was notified the auction was canceled. I reached out to Classic mall last week and was told someone had put a deposit on it. Apparently they walked away yesterday so they reached out to tell me it is available again. Any history would be great! I have been looking for a 85-87 Silver/Grey with burgundy interior for sometime now. Just haven't found the right one at the right time.

Did it have a cracked dash when you owned it? Looks like the front edge in the center as well as the center speaker grill? The pictures they have looks like there is damage to both the front and back seats? Does the rust in the pass rear door go up under the woodgrain or isolated to the lip/seamseal area when you did your repair?
