Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis For $15,000?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis For $15,000?-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:20

Sometimes you look at the price of a car for sale and you ask yourself, "Is that a pretty good deal, or would I have to be smoking the rock to pay that much?" That's what is all about, and we're going to follow up yesterday's - which 65% of you felt went for way too much green- with another Detroit classic. This time it's a super-cherry 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis, a car with just 4,054 miles on the clock. This has got to be the nicest '78 Grand Marquis in the world, and it's got all the options: 460 engine, power everything, cruise control, even the player. But fifteen grand? What do you think?

, thanks to for the tip!

The 2019 Acura MDX A-Spec May Be Barely Sporty but It's Pleasantly Sophisticated

At $4,700, Is This 'Frame Up' Restoration 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer a Letdown?
Today’s Grand Wagoneer isn’t a woody, but its custom wrap is perhaps just as interesting. We’ll have to determine if that, and its price, might have you questioning “would I?” So, as averred by 78 percent of you, $15,000 may have been too much to ask for yesterday’s . If...

At $15,000, Could This 1979 Ford F150 4X4 Short-Bed Make Your Shortlist?
At $15,000, Could This 1979 Ford F150 4X4 Short-Bed Make Your Shortlist?
The seller of todays’ F150 says that it was renovated to give to his grandkids, but was turned down by the ungrateful little snots. Let’s see if it’s now priced to have buyers do the same thing. They used to say that “the sun never sets on the British Empire.”...
