The seller offers for sale this 1977 Mercury Grand Marquis 2-Door Coupe, presented with its powerful 7.5-litre V8 petrol engine and automatic transmission. Purchased directly from the original owner’s family in Florida, this rare coupe has been cherished for over a decade. Its original condition meant no major restoration was needed; instead, a respectful cosmetic refresh was carried out, keeping as many factory components as possible. The car has won multiple show awards and has even been displayed in Milan, gaining attention in newspapers. The 14-layer PPG repaint delivers an impressive depth and shine, while the body remains free from visible rust or damage. The engine starts without hesitation, produces no smoke or unusual noises, and the automatic gearbox shifts smoothly. The interior is original and well preserved, with only cleaning performed, making this an authentic and elegant representation of late-1970s American luxury motoring. The car holds a valid technical inspection and is ready to drive.
The Mercury Grand Marquis of this era embodied comfort, presence and smooth power. Positioned as a premium full-size model in the Ford family, it offered a spacious interior, relaxed driving characteristics and robust V8 performance. Known for its soft ride and unmistakable styling, the Grand Marquis became a symbol of American automotive design in the 1970s. Its long-wheelbase proportions, chrome details and effortless cruising ability appeal to collectors who appreciate classic American luxury. Survivors in strong original condition are increasingly sought after, especially rare coupe versions, which combine grandeur with distinctive styling.
