Finally got rid of the 77 Grand Marquis. I'll miss the old beast, but I rarely ever drove it any more and we're moving, so more money for moving expenses is nice. I paid $350 for it at a garage sale in April of 2002, and just sold it for $300. All I had to do was add a battery, and a little ATF, so I think I made out pretty well.
I'm a little anxious, since I've never sold a car before, but I think I wrote up a sufficient bill of sale and filled out the title properly. I actually hadn't driven it for a few months before they took it for a drive, so I was pleased that it started up without any real problems once I poured a little gas in the carb.

I really would like to get a newer Grand Marquis or Crown Vic (late 90s or so). Now we're down to the 04 Sebring (which isn't exactly small) and my 73 Super Beetle (that I still need to replace the fuel pump on).
