Hello! I've been lurking quite a lot, just gathering information... but now I have something to say.
As of today, I am the owner of a 1985 Grand Marquis LS.
It was free, given to me by some friends who were moving and didn't need the car any more. It's in very nice condition, other than the front passenger seat having some duct tape on it, so what, all I care about is how well it runs, and run well it does. In fact it runs a little too well, it will tempt me to drive it more than I need to and cost me a small fortune in gas.
An interesting story is behind this car; not too long ago, the PO had a collision with another vehicle. PO told me the other vehicle was a write-off, because the front end broke apart, being it was a much newer car. I couldn't even see any damage on the GM, until I looked closer at the rear wheel well. The metal cover for it was slightly out of round. A bit dented. No paint was scratched, no dent on the fender itself. The insurance company couldn't believe it, the GM had less than $500 damage, which mean, virtually none. The driver barely felt the other car hit. This GM is a tank! I love it! Except at the gas pump, but you can't always have everything.
I shall post pics of said wonderous GM later...
