Looks like a pretty good deal. That Merc would have a serious attitude if it were black on black

I can see it now... that merc could get an occasional "nice Dodge"

I bet you could have slipped this one past the Garlits folks as a "C body"

I can think of a few folks who would do back flips to get your New Yorker... But the Merc wouldn't be the same... better off with what you've got.

I love these old Mercury cars or at least the way they drive and for comfort. I will tell it is harder to find parts for these cars. Sadly, for me it was easier to find parts for a "Formal" New Yorker than a Mercury Marquis.

What I mean by parts is trim and body parts. Some of the parts aren't too bad because some of them are the same ones used by Ford and Lincoln. I will say it is easier to find parts for the Ford LTD which is the sibling car to the Marquis along with the Lincoln Continental.

If there was an engine I'd go with in these cars I would go with the 429 or 460. I'd stay away from the 400 just because of some of the manufacturing defects early engines were known for.

I have to say that is the biggest "You Suck" Formal in this forum.

I'll do a short writeup in the Formals section soon I guess.
