Bubo Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I've been looking around at used cars and SUVs The prices really are up, way up. Last place I visited, the salesman started telling me the prices are too high for the vehicles..... a first Grand Marquise was always the one that got away but I occasionally check on them and ran across this gem It's just waiting for the right buyer If I had a barn, I would already be ordering the wrap around curtains and roll out bar and bed https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?zip=60540&maxPrice=20000&showNegotiable=true&sortDir=ASC&sourceContext=carGurusHomePageModel&distance=50000&sortType=MILEAGE&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=d362#listing=280886940/NONE 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Those older station wagons would qualify as a utility vehicle now-a-days. Talk about cubic feet! If it was sound and closer I'd take a look! >$10k doesn't hardly get jack this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Should work. Usually have a monster V8 to punch out the carbon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubo Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 V 12 65-degree | Fork and blade | L-Head Displacement : 7340 cc | 447.9 cu in. | 7.3 L. Power : 150 HP (110.4 KW) @ 3400 RPM Torque : 292 Ft-Lbs (396 NM) @ 1200 RPM Bore : 3.3 in | 83 mm. Stroke : 4.5 in | 114 mm. Compression : 5.25:1 Main Bearings : 7 Cylinder Block : Cast-iron The 2,269 Lincoln Model KBs built in 1932 and 1933 are widely considered the finest Lincoln automobiles ever built. They were powered by the company’s first V-12, a massive 448 cu. in. mill with fork-and-blade connecting rods that was virtually hand-built to order and produced 150 horsepower with peerless smoothness. The Model KB was capable of a top speed of 120 mph, a speed comparable to such greats as the Duesenberg Model J and Marmon Sixteen—making this one of the great motor cars of the Classic Era. Trains ran intercity at 100 MPH or faster too we went backwards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Wagons are still a thing in Europe - the Big Three German makers produce some killer wagons, of course at $$$$. I have always been a fan of the Dodge Magnum, owned one with a small V6 several ago. Wish they’d do an updated version with the 5.7 or 6.4 Hemi. Doubtful in this age of 2 Liter turbocharged 4 poppers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd lose money selling it for that much if the quality was the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
