The reason that this Grand Marquis has the PPG side window glass is because it was ordered with the optional "Laminated Security Side Glass" option which comes with this "PPG Safe and Sound" glass as they called it. Ford touted in the sales literature that as well as being more durable, that it would block 95% of UV rays as well as cut down on road noise from the outside. IIRC it was a nearly $300 extra option on these cars from new.
One of the best cars ever made...period. I dream about having one of these in my driveway...always rented one when I went to Florida back in the day...much love from Canada.
Anthony, I am with you 100%! You can never get tired of the feel of driving a full frame, rear wheel drive, V8 American car. (I own a few) Its a ride that you can not duplicate! Don’t get me wrong, fuel economy, reliability and body panels (rust/fit&finish) today are much superior to cars of the 60’s/70’s/80’s, however it came with a trade off…..style and comfort!! Just sayin😊
This car presents SO beautifully, it is, for all intents and purposes, a NEW car. Cars like this were what made America great, and it is worth every penny of the asking price. I’m sure it will sell very quickly; I only wish I could be the lucky buyer. Someone is going to get an absolute SWEETHEART of a car!
I drive an 07 Grand Marquis GS almost every day. Mine has almost 200k miles and is starting to show it, but this is my 3rd panther and I love it. I will only ever own Ford Panther Platform cars.
In Florida this is the best kept secret. I gave my daughter my GS when I inherited my late mom’s GS. I tow a small boat trailer and a small motorcycle trailer with absolutely no problem. The 4.6 liter is a rock solid power plant. These cars on the highway even with towing behind it will get easily 24 mpg. But…. Around town that drops significantly to about 16-18 mpg. They are highway road cruisers. Treat them well and you can easily get 300,000 miles out of them. You pointed out the trim. The glue fails. I took mine off and used a 3m brand eraser wheel to get the glue residue off. No big deal. In Florida you can get these cars all day long for 10,000 and under depending on miles and condition. They are built like tanks and a good first car for a new teenage driver. My daughter got,”T-boned” by a lady in a Mercedes. Thank god my daughter didn’t get a scratch on her but the A frame of her GS got bent so it went to the salvage yard. I love Grand Marquis.
I'm a Grand Marquis and Town Car guy. There was an old saying, "get near Lincoln quality for 2/3s the price with a Mercury." That was truer in the 1970s than it was in this year of car. I had an 04 Ultimate MGM and an 04 Ultimate LTC. The seat comfort, sound insulation, and ride was better in the Lincoln. In the 70s, those items were much closer between the two. As for GS versus LS...my GS seats were more comfortable than the LS seats...both from 1990. At any rate, wonderful cars. I miss the once mighty marque.
Nice car for sure! I have an '07 MGM GS myself very similar to this one. Its been a great car for me. I find the cloth seats more comfortable than the leather seats. The steel wheels are also more resistant to dents and corrosion than the aluminum wheels.
I've been driving Grand Marquis' for the past 25 years, long before they become "trendy" to own. I am pleased to see one such as this example that is well preserved. Unfortunately, these cars are no longer viable to purchase and own anymore. People want exuberant amounts of money for these. Even for the ones that have been butchered. About 10 years ago it used to be you could buy a 10 year old road worthy one with under 70k miles for well less than $5k. Now they're at $13k - 20k. I purchased an '08 less than a year old that came off a fleet lease for $14k with 14k miles. At the end of the day, it's still an old car. Unfortunately, the polymer bonds break down with age regardless of care and mileage. Especially with this era with the plastic intakes. Fuel and regular maintenance costs play major ownership factors. High book retail values for these are $2-3k.
i would say $12,000 would be a good price for it because there is nothing really special but it would be a great car for a first time driver (teen). Reliable, clean, low mileage , safe.
ALL THIS TALK BOUT THE CAR ? LIKE ME A SENSUAL ITRALIAN I LOVE THAT NEWNESS SENSING NEW WHEEL THEN THE NEWNESS IN THE HIGH TRAFFIC AREA .LOV IT 🎉THANSK ANTHONY .
Is it true you can swap the steering wheels on these if you wanted the buttons for radio and climate control (when equipped with a digital unit)? They are already wired for it and it would effectively be plug and play?
Requires some work. I put a Lincoln steering wheel on my ‘11 Crown Vic to obtain cruise control. The dealer had to essentially “turn on” the CC module within the settings. I don’t recall what was required to get the radio controls to sync because I have the basic cop 4 button radio. It wasn’t a whole ordeal best I can recall.
Yes that is correct. As I understand it it's plug-and-play but this unit doesn't have a digital climate control so you would only be gaining radio controls IF GS models are pre-wired. But the LS ones with the digital climate control are definitely pre-wired
I love your videos because im a softie for these cars. I own one and want another one. I know you run a business man, but sometimes you ask premium money for these things and i respect it, but its priced for someone who truly wants it. Maybe knock 5k off of it and she wouldve been gone yesterday.
Massachusetts is also very strict about inspection stickers also. I don't know if it's true or not but how Massachusetts is I'm sure it's true lol a friend of mine forgot to get her car inspected for over a month and she said she got a letter from the registry saying that her registration was suspended on her car until she got it state inspection 😬🤷 I never have to worry about that I've always got my car inspected the first day of the month it's due. I've always done it that way but yeah I couldn't believe how strict it's gotten. I remember back in the 90s u could pull up to the gas station get a inspection and the guy would get the sticker from a tin bin and slap it on lol $15 back then now it's $35 lol
Here in NY I have to surrender the plates if the inspection is more than a year old and they expire. They cannot be renewed. Ironically it’s basically the same price to surrender the plates and have new plates issued as it is to simply renew online 🤣
@@westhavenor9513 the vehicle has been sitting most of its life. It’s almost 20 years old soon as you drive it on the regular everything will start leaking majority of the time. I’ve purchased many low mileage vehicles seen it a million times. This should be about $8-$10k Max
You are buying an almost new car , try buying a 16,000 mile 2 year old charger ! Not to mention the Grand Marquis will still be running when the charger is dead and gone !…..
I forgot how to deactivate that damn belt minder system. It was an insane procedure needing to be done as three crows flew over your house. Now of course you can just get the inserts and be done.
I've owned about 8 mint Grand Marquis for the last 30 years. Only car I use for a daily driver. Anyways the velour type fabric seats in these later Panther Platform cars are a real cheap product. Paper thin real cheap! They don't hold up well at all. I don't get why Ford would do that w/their luxury line-up Town Car, Grand Marquis. Anthony even mentioned this in one of his video's he did a couple of years ago. Found mostly on their Basic Models.
The thing with this purchase is that you could put that $16,000 towards a car with modern tech, hybrid engine with phenomenal gas mileage, and all the modern safety tech. I don’t doubt this car will last a long time but do you want to be driving a V8 rear drive large sedan that gets 18 mpg when gas might be $7 a gallon when this car is at the end of its life when it has 300,000 miles.
This type of car at it's age and what it is should be a secondary vehicle. It's nice and in good shape but to use it every day over time is impractical I know from personal experience that it costs a fortune to maintain these once they start to develop problems. The frames & front fenders on these all rust. They are very leak prone and they chew up front end components like bubble gum. The car guy's have elevated the panthers to Sainthood status. I owned a Buick Century, Old's 88, Coupe Deville & Mercury Cougar only surface rust. The Panther frames rusted like they were dipped in salt water.
@@robertriley1569 With proper rustproofing you will never see these rust...Krown Rust here in Canada would be perfect...every other year applications...drive on.

bought a 2001 mercury with 47k miles last year now it has 68k miles it was pleasure to drive it long trips and very reliable.

An old school beauty. This thing will probably outlast many of the new cars on the road. It's mint.
