Reviewed a 1979 Mercury Zephyr on Jan 17, 2024

This was my first car. I bought it for $750 in 1985. The dash was cracked and the headliner was falling. I had to change the master cylinder and redo the valve cover gaskets. That straight six was a good engine and the ride was nice. I upgraded the radio and speakers (what teenager wouldnt!) Loved that car. It met its demise when a brake line leaked and I lost all braking and ran into a Bronco!

Judy's First Brand New Car - Cream in and out. 6 cyl 200CI auto trans. We ordered it at the dealer and paid about $7k for this thing. It had adequate performance, handling, etc. We had the 2-door Z-7 Coupe and it looked pretty good. Unfortunately it was not easy to get the kids in and out of the back seat. After about 7 years, the starter went out for the first time in November. I tackled it myself and had it replaced in about three hours. The next November, same thing and had it replaced in about two hours. I had to do that every year until we traded it in. Funny - We put about 100,000 miles on it til it started to realy fall apart (exhaust system, front end, etc.). Traded in for Judy's next car which had to be another Mercury.

1978 Mercury Zephyr XR7 with a sport suspension packager, 302 V8. Grey on Charcoal paint. It was not a bad car...paint quality very poor...had to get the dealer to repaint it 2x to get it right. The 302 was awesome, and I drove it from Oklahom and up the Rockies from Sante Fe to Calgary, Alberta several times and lived with it for a while in Riverton, WY.

It goes and goes and has been abused constantly over the past 14 years. It has dragged trailers around, been offroading, towed a large boat, been street raced, [looked good but went quite sadly] The interior has all fallen apart the bonnet flew up and nuked the cowl but it keeps going. The 302 has probably done over 400k and has had numerous additions to speed its demise but it's still rattling away. Unfortunately there is sentimental value in the decision making now and logic says 'Bin It' but hey, it won't happen..
