One. Last. Ride

Turn on subtitles or view the transcript at the bottom of the description if you d like explanations on what I m doing throughout the video. This is a 1977 Mercury Grand Marquis, equipped with a 460 Big Block engine. As far as I can tell, it s been parked since 1995 and hasn t ran for about 30 years. From the looks of it, it s been sitting in this field the entire time. I was even told that it was a nice, running and driving car when parked. Before hauling it out, the sellers let me try and get it running and driving where it sat for one last ride. While I was successful, the car s much too far gone to be put back on the road. I saved the engine and transmission and attempted to part out the rest, but unfortunately it had to be towed away as scrap. I hope you ll see me reuse the drivetrain in an upcoming video, once I find something to put it in. Chapters: 00:00 Arrival 02:03 Is the engine seized Almost 05:46 Hooking up power. 08:59 Getting spar
