Summary
This 1978 Checker Marathon, refinished in brown over a black interior, is powered by a 305ci V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Acquired by the seller in 2007 from its first owner, it has received recent service including a radiator recore and brake overhaul. The 5-digit odometer shows 22k miles, believed to have rolled over, and the engine is noted to run roughly when cold with some undercarriage corrosion.

eggsalad I'm glad this is a '78. It looks soooo much better than the '77s did! [sarcasm]
