Price: US $4,900.00 SOLD OUT
It is with a heavy heart that I am selling my 1969 Mercury Marquis. This car is almost totally original, and nearly everything still works on it. This car has the original 429 ci-V8-2 brl engine (320 hp) with 45,000 original miles and a C6 automatic transmission. The powertrain operates very well. The Mercury also has power front disc brakes and power steering. The AC works although it needs charged; it blows cool rather than cold at the moment. (It still has R12 in it.) This is a much more drivable car than most cars of this era, it is comfortable to drive. The car has an antique plate which means there is no need for state inspections in Pennsylvania. The pictures will tell you of the car's condition. The paint is original and not perfect, but it looks pretty good when waxed. Although, the paint on the rear driver's side has a "cracked" look. (See close up pictures) The body has one area (about 2" by 2") of rust on the bottom of the driver's door, otherwise the body is rust-free. The exhaust manifolds are cracked and need to be changed; I already purchased one them, but have not changed it yet. The interior is in great condition and quite roomy as you can imagine. The original AM radio is still there, but I added a CD player where the ashtray used to be. The CD player can easily be removed and the ashtray reinstalled if desired. The undercarriage has typical surface rust, the frame is structurally sound. This car is not a basketcase of problems like so many older cars; it has been a reliable car for the last 19 years of my ownership. I just don't have a storage place or time for this car anymore, so it is up for sale. Cross-posted to Craigslist. If you would like to see the car or if you have any questions, I am available every Monday through Saturday. 412-999-seven-three-three-zero (cell) Ask for Don
