Hi guys and gals, i know its just one crapy pic but mainly the reason for my post is to share this Marquis i found at a local yard, check out the grille

I took the picture at a local self serve yunkyard, wish you could all see the panthers yunked... oh boy!!... ups sorry i'll try to take lots of pics i promise, that day my battery died ,... if its not raining i'll go this sunday.

wow id think that grille is pretty rare. need more pics!

[tjltd]

ill try to see if the car hasn't been crushed yet, actually down here the Marquis was sold under the Ford name not Mercury

[marquisman]

oh, dident relize you are in mexico lol, thought it was in the states, my bad lol

[tjltd]

lol no problem, tought id share this info to other panther owners that didn't know this little panther fact.

[gabegt90]

[Lincolnmania]

COOL!

If its still there try and grab the grill if anything it would make for a cool wall ornament.

And I was also about to say that that must have been a Mexican one because the Mercury's there were sold under the ford name, do they still do that over there?

sorry for the late reply guys, just got home from work,...oh and yes, they still are rare even tough they were sold here, i'll go this sunday and take some stuff,...hope it hasn't got crushed yet.

They're still selling the Marquis under the Ford name, but they're also selling the Crown Vic, but to get one the Ford dealer has to Import it, so its a lot cheaper to just buy a Marquis , down here some Federal Police cruisers are imported Interceptors

On the Frontier States with the U.S. it's more rare to see these tipe of cars (Ford Marquis) because it's cheaper to buy an imported car from the U.S. than to buy a National (Dealer sold) car.

I'll get you guys more pics I promise

what is the ford conquisador(think that is spelt right)? from what i can see on the net it looks just like that car in the pic for the 87 model year anyway????

[tjltd]

hello guys i went junkyarding on sunday and unfortunately the panther got crushed , i'm gona have to get more info for the conquistador since down here there where many variations of diferent Ford models, somebody told me that the Ford Conquistador was made in Venezuela but i have never seen one here. I'm gona have to do some research Tiggie along with more pics from the junkyard, unfortunately i left my camera at my GF's house and i don't see her 'till Saturday.

Hope my post doesn't get moved , i'll keep posting pics on this thread to share some forgotten panthers and info.

[tjltd]

hello, a promise is a promise, here are some pics that i took yesterday, not many panthers but the guy at the yard told me that they are gona bring more cars this weekend. its a shame with that 2 door granada, would of make a great project car, the other 2 door vics where to beat up, but still a shame they where junked, not many left.

[interceptor1985]

Oh man, I would totally take those two doors, lol, I wonder if there would be a way for me to strip them down and rebiuld them and get a KIT car VIN number...??? That would be so darn cool! id be able to put what ever engine i want in them...hahhahahahah!...

Sigh if only I was rich

[tjltd]

lol... i go so often the guys at the yard already know me by name lol. To think of it, there was a company that striped VW bugs and exported them to te U.S. as kit cars don't know if they still do that.
