Bought car just to protect Benz from winter salt, etc.
Yesterday I picked up a Mercedes Preservation Unit.
Its a 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis wagon (yes, woodgrain).
It has 4 brand new tires (rear tires are Bridgestones, winter tires WITH STUDS!!!)
Brand new battery.
Brand new exhaust.
84,000 acutal, original miles.
Original leather, perfect.
5.0 Multi-port efi (genuine fuel injection not throttle body). Runs PERFECT!
NO body damage, not even a ding.
All power windows and door locks work perfectly.
2.73:1 final gear with deep overdrive = 24 MPG highway.
4,800 lbs. of DETROIT STEEL: Go ahead, crash into me, who needs a stinkin airbag when your rolling on 2.5 tons of union labor baby!!!!
My precious Benz stays home in the heated garage the 5-10 days of poor weather we get per year. Snow = I drive the Brady Bunch Mobile!!!
Pictures coming soon....she's real purdy!!!
Sale price $300 !!! That's right $300
I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!! Might even come in handy for home-improvement, lawn and garden supply gopher, and last but not least....BRINGING HOME THE CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!!

But don't let the 4800 lbs of steel fool you, it will buckle like a horse upon impact and turn into a 4800 lb compactor. Remember it's still a Ford.
