1977 Mercury Marquis Brougham

My son and I just bought this all original 1977 Mercury Marquis Brougham from the original owners son. It was kept in a garage all its life. It's got 19,000 miles on it. It still has the original tires and exhaust. It has the 460 4brl V-8. Lots of power.
Since I posted this We've done some paint work, mainly the fiberglass nose and repaired and painted the skirts.The original vinyl top has also been redyed the same navy blue color. Now it looks like new.

My Grandfather bought one of these new in 1977, sold it to my Mom in 1986, who sold it to me for $600 in 1989. I was just 19 years old, and drove it for 3 years. Mine only had a 400cid, and got lousy (15mpg) gas mileage. Funny, because it was too expensive to drive (20 years ago) to college, I sold it for $300. In hindsight though, it was the best car I have ever owned. Anyway, thank you for the video. This brought back some memories.

VERY nice ! I have just took a Météor Rideau 500 1975 for a test drive.One of the only Canadian car ever made (basically a scaled-down Marquis).I think I'm going to buy it,86,000 miles,3000$

[@markv9163]

@VictrolaJazz It's got the 460 4brl.

[@m.pietro9087]

WOW, really nice car. The combination of white with blue interior is unique. The luxury era was the rule at that time. All I can say is congratulations, you have the king of the road, of all times.

[@markv9163]

Sorry, just purchased it from the original owners SON not parents.

[@smithraymond09029]

I'm jealous! It's a jewel but at that price and condition it's like finding the crown jewel.

I had a 78 4 door in the gorgeous brown color. My grandparents gave it to me. My 1st car. What an AWESOME car. It was like new. Had every option. I remember the left headlight door vacuum would leak overnight and it would be winking at me in the morning. hahaha. hen as soon as you start it the door went back down. LOVED that car!

[@brucebornemansr.9043]

No, they damn sure don't build them like that anymore! I had 2 Gran Torino Elites. Built like a tank, and just as comfortable as a Lincoln Town Car. Both racked up 280K miles before they gave up the ghost.

[@m.pietro9087]

Amazing!!!!!! You Car is really beautiful. It rides like a dream.

[@derrickjackson6737]

Nice Marquies Brougham semi lURUXY

[@markv9163]

You're welcome. You definately should have kept that car.

[@markv9163]

@jwcasciato Thank you.

[@markv9163]

@johnsenkenn I paid $2500.00 U.S. Dollars for it from the original owners son..

[@thorgot9999]

I had a green one with a white top back in 1994. When the engine went bad I had to get rid of it but till this day, it still remains my favorite car. I would love to get my hands on one now. The engine had a lot of power and it ran smooth as a baby's ass...SWEET CAR.

[@VictrolaJazz]

Which engine does that car have?

[@foodforthought6960]

LOL what were they building in Europe at the time in 1977 for daily drivers? American sedans owned everyone back in the day.

[@timothywells4027]

Wow 19,000 miles?!

[@markv9163]

Yes, I believe they did later in 77.

[@camaro2002rs]

See it is from Rhode island. Excellent shape for a Rhode island car sir

[@formula112967]

Hey Doug, how old is your son...?

[@fordlincolinmercury1]

didnt the 77's come out later on with the 85 mph dash

[@m.pietro9087]

Really beautiful. Congratulations! White with blue is a cool combination. Do you drive it around on weekends?

[@Chesterbarnes1]

Is it sold?

[@PayBackMercenary]

Wow, just an awesome score...I miss my 1975 MMB so much...I could put 4 dead bodies in it back in the day!

[@markv9163]

@formula112967 Just turned 21

[@markv9163]

@Mrphatbastard1 Thank you very much. I dropped the hammer with it today on 95 for a little bit. The old cars need to stretch their legs and get some excercise sometimes. LOL.

[@AMAZINGPCGRAPHICS]

Came here because of uncle buck

[@klein2042]

Same here. It’s a surprisingly nice looking car

[@markv9163]

Mostly car shows and cruise nights.

[@tropicallover19]

Wow much nicer then uncle bucks car lol!

[@markv9163]

Too bad about the engine. Did it have the 400 or the 460? Either way they are both good engines. I am suprised it died. How many miles did it have?

[@thepelletcooker5118]

Thank God they don’t build like this anymore. 1:02
