Thank you for viewing this 1980 Marathon A12, produced by Checker Motors Corporation. The Marathon is the civilian model of the iconic taxi of New York fame. The Marathon was produced up until 1982 when Checker ceased auto production, it has been estimated that there are less than 500 of these on the road today! From our research, this Marathon is running a 305ci Chevy V8 and a Borg Warner 3 speed automatic. It has power steering, power assisted front brakes and air conditioning. The car runs and drives properly, however a hard line on the brakes is broken, it will need to be trailered to it’s new home. The interior is in good shape, especially the dashboard and seat covers. The exterior is royal blue and the interior is black. This car spent most of its life in Rhode Island, so it does have notable rust. Whether you are looking for a unique and easy cruiser, a base for a NYC Taxi replica, or possibly an awesome platform for a custom sled or gasser, this could be a great choice for you!
