1986 Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park 3seat 8-passenger station wagon -This is my late father’s car; it has been stored in the garage of his summer home near Bethel, PA since 2006. I recently had it trailered to our farm in Kempton, PA. The car starts, runs and drives well on the farm but the brakes are soft. It has not been driven on the road for the past 15 years. In order to get the car running again, the fluids have been changed; fresh gas, oil and filter changed, ATF refilled, new coolant. I also replaced the radiator (and thermostat) due to a coolant leak. I did not address the brakes; please don’t expect to drive this car home. A new battery is also installed. The exterior of this Mercury is in very good condition: the original paint shines nicely; the simulated woodgrain trim is not sun-faded; all the numerous stainless steel trim pieces are present and lustrous; the glass is good except for a scratch in the windshield; all the light and lenses function properly; the accessory turbine wheels are not curbed; the roof rack is complete. There is no evidence of any rust-out on the body, although there are a few dings and scratches. Overall, the car’s exterior looks very nice. The optional velour interior is also in good condition: no tears or worn surfaces on the seats; some cracks in dash pad but not sunbaked; headliner in good condition; carpet not torn but no floor mats; all knobs, switches, handles intact; folding seat works; third seating area is clean and complete but paint is peeling from aluminum lift panels. A nice interior that could use some detailing. I have not driven this car off of the farm but have taken note of the following; brakes are soft and barely stop car; right rear power window is inoperative; horn does not work; fan belt idler squeaks; tires are old, right rear loses air; auto trans drips fluid when sitting; I did not try the A/C but the heater works.
