I’ve seen this photo from another site, so to answer would be cheating.
Really cool you took pictures of it at the time though, since one would be hard pressed to find something original like that today.

Yeah, I trimmed the photo to loose the fender & header though. Thought some here might like to see when fresh.
I should have taken more pics of this and other cars, but then there were film and developing cost considerations.Last edited by tbear853; 01-24-2021 at 11:56 PM.

This past summer I helped Grand1 get his newly acquired '79 Marquis running. Looks very much like his engine bay.

Ahh dang i was going to basically guess that. MCU gave away the VV, and the large case alternator basically means 351w.. Looks exactly how my engine bay looked when i got the car

Oh, it is an early Panther. Grand1's '79 Marquis I'm pretty sure has the 302. C4 with 2.26 rear gear. http://www.grandmarq.net/vb/showthre...-My-79-Marquis
