1981 Mercury Marquis needs a new home.
Currently located in Victoria, BC.
2 tone cream, tan. vinyl roof [seen better days]
Not a pristine auto, a bit tatty in the interior
[headliner separating.] but has a solid drive train.
Minor rust, not serious. no penetration in trunk or
passenger compartment. 131k klicks [approx.].
V8 Auto [4 speed overdrive] 24 mi/gal hwy
Burns NO oil between oil changes, [faithfully done
on or before recommended times/mileages.]
Transmission flushed, new pan gasket, filter changed.
All brakes just redone. New pads, rotors, wheel cyl, shoes.
Exhaust system new last spring.
[Cat has hole, where the air injection pump tube enters,
that makes a little noise] Plug it, or replace cat or use
by-pass pipe.
Power everything.
[Seats, windows, locks, brakes, steering, cruise control]
Air Conditioning not functional.
{Charged, but vacuum control switch under dash not working,
I wasn't going to spend the money to fix it, for our mild climate]
Super good tires, many tens of thousands of miles left.
{GoodYear Aqua-Tread, damned expensive, when new]
Solid transportation. Solid safe tank. [g]
Great for that New Driver! Keep your teenager safe!
Lovely Highway cruiser.
AM/FM/8track [for you retro types]
We'll even thrown in our carefully collected
[from 2nd hand shops] 8 tracks.
No reason why this car won't give many more miles of service.
$999 or BO. A bargain when you realize that all the costly
stuff is already done.
