Wow! I was 14 years old in 1978, and having loved cars from an early age, the Mark Series was and still is one of my most favorite! Ford products in 2023 are of such poor quality that even the CEO has admitted that they have got to do better!! It says a lot for this beautiful piece of automotive sculpture when it is 45 years old, and with the exception of the clock, still works just like it did in 1978!! Let's see what 2023 Ford products can still do in 2068 (if there is even a single one still in existence by then)!! Thank you for all of these great finds that you keep presenting to us; proof that great original cars are still out there just waiting to be discovered!!

I would very seriously like to plan a vacation from where I live in lower west Michigan just to visit your lot. I don't know much about car auctions except going to them in the 80s when I was young and someone in my family was building a small vintage car collection. I got to learn to drive and experience several cars ranging from 1920s - late 60s. Now its MY time to consider my own dreams. Just took my 1st leap into a luxury car with a 2011 Cadillac SRX. I also have a 97 Cougar XR7 that I'm trying to decide if I want to fully restore and keep or sell as it is ( needs a bit of rust repair and some paint ). Do you always have these late 70s luxury land yachts on your lot or is it hit and miss ?

Hey good morning!! That would be awesome! Being that I am in a tourist town, here frequently people on vacation will sneak away from the beach to pay me a visit. Such a humbling thing because I am just some car guy living my passion. It's nice to know others love what I do too!! You come by anytime!! I always have these cars on my lot. I sell late model stuff too, but most of my inventory now are the classics!! And be careful with that Cougar and rust. Expensive to restore and limited parts, so unless this one has sentimental value it would be cheaper to just go find a nice original one!! Talk soon!

This car is certainly a beautiful car. The problem with these cars from the late 70s in America is these are truly boats. They are very unsafe.. if you attempt to stop on a downhill angle at a red light, because these cars don’t have antilock brakes and if you put those brakes on too hard, you’re going to slide right through the red light or right into the car in front of you. I say again it’s a beautiful car but I have found driving those cars to be a pretty bad experience. You’re not connected with the Roeding anyway because you’re floating on air basically they don’t handle well very pretty to look at though.
