NMNA.
Not much information but...... Could be a lot of fun here....
It's a good thing I don't have the time/means to get over there and pick that up.
That is a no-brainer. If any GRM'ers are in the area, you are required to buy that!
I've called. That's less than two hours away from me. 40 years old and 28,000 miles??!? I can only imagine it was owned by a little old lady and garage kept it's whole life.
Any ideas what such a beast is actually worth?
edit: 19 ft long and 4,500 lbs likely boasting a 210 hp 460 big block. 
Land Yacht!
It's a cam, intake and headers away from like 400hp. Buy it, do that, and boil the hides for days!
The odometer may have rolled over, be wary of that.
Didn't mcgarret drive one of those?
I'm just going to keep telling myself that it has the crummy 400m so that I'll believe that I don't want it.
No call back from lawyer....

I can't copy and paste the link from my phone here, but Car Craft did an article several years ago on the 400m claiming around 500 horses.

From my teenage year's experience - '77 Country Squire wagon w/400m vs. '78 Town Car w/460, both owned & driven at the same time - I'd take the 400m stock-for-stock. We also had a 390 in a '70 XL convertible(LTD, but not badged as one), but it was a dog.
McGarrett drove a 74 Marquis Brougham 4 door from 74-80. Before that it was a 68 Mercury Parklane. He drove a 2 door Marquis in the pilot. Jack Lord's stunt double snagged the car after the show ended. The 74 is now in the remake on CBS.
