Is this Steve McGarrett's triple black Marquis sedan from Five-O? I wished it was but it is as close as you can come to the real deal. The only triple black Marquis Brougham I have ever found and in fabulous bone stock original condition...ready to restore as stock to honor that great TV series from the late 60's and 70's or make her into one incredibly cool radrod!
here are the specs
>460ci v8 with 4v carb & C6 trans
>59800 original miles
>pillar post style hardtop sedan
>all available power options (PS, PB, PWindows, PSeats, PLocks, AC, Cruise)
>three owners only...original owner from Bremerton, WA area then sold locally there and I bought her about a year ago
here's the good
>runs strong and whisper quiet
>new carb, fuel pump and front brakes
>100% there...I mean 100% and all factory matching original stock.
>perfect glass!
>great interior (seats, door panels, headliner all fine w/ exception of two small repair spots in driver's seat)
>dash in excellent condition (no cracks or other blems)
>power seats work fine
>excellent body with minor dents and very minimal rust in lower fenders only...super solid floors!
>really good chrome and stainless steel trim with only a few bings...front bumper is perfect & rear bumper very good
>headlight doors work
then the bad
>issues with power windows at this time which I am working on (mostly just lubrication issues)
>wipers need new switch
>gas gauge not working
>cruise control not working
>power locks buggy
>AC not hooked up & needs full service
>steering wheel cracked
>front carpet sun faded
>very slight sunfading in front seats & small repair on side of driver's seat as mentioned above
>tires only fair to good
>a few bings in the body and trim and a couple of rust spots in lower fenders but very minor and easily fixed
>some rust bubbles under vinyl roof and material shrunken so will need new top eventually
an of course, the ugly
>she desperately needs paint! it's in terrible condition and being black everything shows from 20feet.
If this car was any other combination, she just would not have the appeal that all black does. A true 70's gangster ride but don't say it too loud or the ghost of Jack Lord might smite you down. Whether for good or evil, this is a sexy bad ass ride. On top of that, this car is an easy restoration which I would do myself but I bought another classic car which is priority for me right now so this bad girl needs to go down the road to the next lucky contestant...which is YOU!
I do also have the Merc advertised locally so reserve the right to pull this listing early if I get an acceptable offer. I am reasonable on what I require to sell the car especially to one who knows how rare and unique this ride is. More photos are available by request and local delivery possible.
Email your interest and I will respond back soon.
Mahalo!

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
