The "GrandMaphrodite"

[Dasfinc]

If I had ANY need for a fun 4 door DD I'd be on this like a fat kid on candy.

It's been floating around for the past like year on Chitown, but it's officially back up for sale again with another price drop and a good clutch.

Mercury Grand Marquis with 5-Speed Swap

1992 Mercury Grand Marquis with a T-45 Cobra 5-speed manual transmission. Swap was done well,nothing was butchered,all swap parts were new when they were installed,including the tranny which is the Cobra version. Stock 2-valve 4.6 V8,140k miles or so now. Runs great. Cold R12 a/c and good heat. Digital dash,power seat,keyless entry,etc,etc. Minor rust. Looks good in and out. Has a 1998+ Crown Victoria front clip,so it looks like a 1998-2011 Crown Victoria. Has a nice Kenwood head unit,and all speakers are Pioneer. Has Crown Vic Police wheels/caps. Clutch was replaced recently. I drive this thing everywhere,very reliable. Check engine light goes on and off,probably because the computer still thinks itsa automatic. Rear cats are deleted and has Flowmasters with dumps.

Asking $1500 obo

All Ford trades considered.

That's a beater with a heater.

 

[Yaj Yak]

I dig that

 

[Dasfinc]

Without question it is. But for $1500 I'd rock the hell out of that as a beater. Cheap parts, reliable engine, 5 speed, 4 door.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I'd buy that, slap some buckets in it and have a blast. Too bad im trying to get rid of cars not get more

 

[EmersonHart13]

Why would you do that? lol

Stick shift? Nice.

I think ditching the interior and tossing in a single cheap racing seat with a sticky set of tires would make for a fun/cheap/hilarious track beater. There are plenty of performance parts and suspension stuff available for the platform too if you wanted to throw money at it.

At $1500 it's not far off from Lemons territory. Claim you sold the interior for $500 (digital dash is actually quite rare), headunit/speakers for another claimed $200, just need to sanction another $300 to get it penalty free into that race.

I don't see why it would make a bad lemons racer?

Still looks to be a fun car for the money.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

You wouldn't get in.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I was Asking Bob why he was getting rid of cars!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Trying to downsize my possessions.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Going green?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Trying to GO!

 

[EmersonHart13]

Go on down to Georgia?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Close but west instead of south.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Good thing they have the internet out there.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I've heard that rumor....hope it's true!


Moving is still a ways away though but gotta start getting towards the goal some time.

 

[EmersonHart13]

My wife wants to move. I don't want to start over. I told her we can go anywhere she wants when we retire.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I'm the opposite. I want to move before we have kids or anything because then I'll be stuck in Illinois forever.

 

[Smokinhot]

best part, doesn't have to get emissioned

Rich17 would off this, cause it's unique.
