Hello all. I have a german version, the Merkur XR4Ti.

Anyway, I've been on a pretty wild goose chase to find certain information that I can't seem to find. XR4Ti's were sold through Lincoln/Mercury dealerships so the sticker information should correlate to the car. The one number I have had a hard time with is the DSO number.

Does anybody have any idea where DSO 77 is? It's on the west coast somewhere, but that is as far as I can figure out.

Thanks for any help guys.

 

What info are you interested in getting for your "mare-coor?" I know a bit about that orphan brand.

 

I primarily hang out over at Merkursport and MerkurClub forums, but when it comes to dealer information I head to alternate forums looking for answers (hence why I am here).

I've scoured the net looking for more dealer information on DSO 77. The closest one i'm located to is 72 - San Jose. Others on the list can be labeled as far away as Utah or Arizona so it's close. The problem is I don't know HOW close.

Anybody with DSO information by all means please post. I'm trying to make my car history complete for filing porposes.

 

74 is Seattle Washington... so someplace on west coast

 

ok...

Awesome! So it's just a stones throw from where I am in Oakland. The car has never left the area in twenty years.
