1978 Mercury Grand Marquis Coupe

Hello.
This is my 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis Coupe. I've had the car for several years now. It has the optional 460ci P.I 7.5 Litre Engine. Power rear Antenna, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Power Steering, remote control side mirrors, forged aluminum wheel covers. Original working A/C. Cruise Control which works amazingly well. The car i believe was manufactured at the St.Thomas Ford Plant located in Ontario, Canada. As for mechanically there is some wear and tear the rear bumper brackets are rusty and need to be replaced which seems to be a common thing with the harsh winters, the cars never been winter driven since i've owned it and was always kept in a garage so very fine rust, unfortunly though the vinyl top is starting to crack away and rust is starting to forum around the left bottom rear window. All in all though the car is very maintained and runs like a dream on the highway. Hope you enjoy the walk around video. Questions or Comments are welcomed.

I am the third owner of the car. When i talked to the guy i bought it from, he said that an elderly gentleman had owned the car originally, i liked to know if it had been oiled underneath but i don't know how to check this.

Sweet car, my grandpa owned one when I was a kid, everyone referered to it as "The Tank".

That thing is a beaut man. Thanks for keeping her alive, most people just see them as derby cars or a lot of scrap metal. I myself have an 87 LTD 2-door.

Amazing! I had the same car and same colors but mine was a 1977. I had the fancy factory chrome wire wheels with the red Mercury symbol in the middle. I like your wheels equally to mine. Awesome memory of my baby! Thanks man!

oh shit, now I'm jealous.... that land yacht is sweet... flow masters on dual exhaust and blank out those windows... then throw away those license plates after you get certified copies of your manufacturers certificate of origin, then you won't need plates... if the state won't give it to you, write to ford with an affidavit of ownership... and offer to pay the fee...
