FYI: Actress Estelle Getty from the Golden girls purchased the 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis. The show had become a success. At the time she was driving a very small Toyota. When she made it big with the Golden girls she bought a new car.

Ha! This made me smile! :)

Miss those colorful trims

I thought this was Cybershell for some reason.

Your video and a couple of movies really saved my evening. Thank you!

this was good dude, keep going

I loved the video, the part about going to the stores was very well done and funny, but suddenly a dark question came to my mind... How old were you in the 80s? O.O

Now that is one nice ass whip my friend, how many miles did she have when you got her?? I definitely want to get one, I got my sights on a '90 LTD Crown V

Your toupee looks magnificent!

Ford/Lincoln/Mercury on the Panther platform and the Chrysler M-body platform of the same era were the best in the business for unmatched comfort and bullet-proof reliability. Thanks for sharing.

My great grandpa drove 3 grand marquis

Great video! Loved seeing the project unfold

Love this video! I wish I was so mechanically inclined! So the vinyl fabric was used on the cloth seats? Can that be used on vinyl seats? Keep up the uploads!

I like the 80s Mercury. Same vintage as my 89 Toyota.

You look kind of young to know about 80's computers and games.

Are there any ancient Apple ][ games that would still be fun to play in 2024? I can name a few: Drol (Broderbund) Bandits (Sirius) Archon (EA) Bolo Sabotage

At 5:18 , why run the ancient and primitive Visicalc, when Libreoffice has a very powerful Windows spreadsheet for free?

Man, please don't dissapear. There's not a lot of channels like yours. Not at all.

Oh yeah, those LTDs were everywhere in the 80s. Even more common--it seemed to me, though I don't know this for sure--were the LTDs of the 70s. Seemed like every 3rd car was one, and you saw a lot of them pretty deep into the 90s.

"It was in good shape, but needed work." Truly an oxymoron. LOL.

All it needs now is WHITE WALLS!

Thank you Adam Sandler.

My first car was an '81 Grand Marquis that I bought from my grandpa. He bought an '86 to replace it. I really liked the fuel injection in his '86. It had a lot more pep than my '81

Beautiful cars.....a miss what these computer-on-wheels do not have now. You knew what car it was, back in the days, miles before it came to you. Beauty and it to be the beast......but, they had better prestige, and uniqness.

I had a 87 many miles then had 2001 great cars

Drove an 86 back in 2003...man that car was smooth..thanks again

I gulped whenever I see these after losing a race in 2000 to my cousin driving his grandma/ my great aunties black Marquis 5.0. I was in my dad's E30 and yea I learned there's no replacement for displacement for sure. My first cars were 4.5 4.9 DeVilles after that!!!

Beautiful Merc... I have a 90 LTD Crown Vic with 28k original miles and absolutely love the car..

Plenty of Panther platform meets and communities out there for anyone interested

Slick ride, they're fantastic cars. Hard to beat anything on the Panther platform. These are a lot harder to find than Vics of the same era.

Love the 80‘s boxy cars. GMC Cadillac Chevrolet Ford Lincoln Mercury Buick Oldsmobile AMC Volvo You name it!!!

Pretty cool video: However (and this may depend on several factors, including the severity of the knock/s) I beg to differ on the rod knock issue sir. I replaced both the connecting rod bearings and the main bearings in my 99 Cavalier, without rebuilding the entire engine, (again depending on various circumstances and variables refering to the individual situation) or removing it from the vehicle) by dropping the oil pan, swapping out the bearings, retorquing the cap bolts, installing a new oil pan gasket and buttoning it up; now the engine runs and sounds like new...

This one was a sleeper I usto detail for a limo company and this was A business or funeral car and I pulled it out some times and detailed it and this Car smoked the tires Off almost all the time lol

White wall tires

I had a black 87 grand marquis o loved that car it was plush red interior beautiful paint job and wheels . It drove so smooth I sold it for 5,500 dollars and bought a Cadillac . I still miss that car 😊I was crazy to sell it

Well done!

good show! i wonder how it handles rough and bumpy pavement.

Congratulations. You've been doing a terrific job keeping this beauty on the road. I'm not from the US, but have always been a fan of old-school American road boats. DIY skills help a lot.

I'm sorry but anyone who leaves their cars sitting in the garage all winter are dumb, I don't think people like you understand that when a car sits too much it develops problems

Looks great.

oh hell yes we need more young men rolling around in cars like this with pride.

Best room tour EVER! Such an underrated video 😊

Mercury Grand Marquis

Who shot J.R.? I had that one

Beautiful car, admire what you have done with it. Would you consider putting a window tint on it? I think the white paint would set it off, and keep the interior cooler.

Not bad at all for two grand!

I just got one today smooth ride

My Dad had a 1982 Grand Marquis Trade it for a 1985 Lincoln town Car

Wow that's amazing work it is very VERY BEAUTIFUL

Awesome restoration! Great to see this car is still on the road.
