Up for auction I have a rare find, 1976 Mercury Capri II. I'm selling it for a friend of mine that is unable to work on it anymore due to recent health issues. The body is in excelent condition for the age, It will need very little if any body work, There are no dents to speak of, Its a very solid car. There is a small hole in the floor board that looks like was made from the drivers seat mount worn through about 2 inches by 3 inches. The front seat is not from this car and is a pass side seat from an unknown car, This is how I got it and I have no other front seats, There only appears to be some surface rust around the rear window and the cheapo paint job is chipping from that area it looks worse in the pic then it really is. The bumpers are missing and I got the car that way. The wheels are off of another car again unknown donor, the tires look to be in good shape great tread but would not trust on freeway. I drove this car a week ago and it runs very well, no rattles, knocks and does not smoke, It runs pretty smooth and pulls very hard just like the true german 2.8's should. I did light up the tires and got it sideways in second gear. (testing the trans & clutch) I got it up to 70 mph very easily but it does have the standard high speed wobble that the capri's were known for at over 45 mph and lightly hit brakes (needs front end bushings and maybe struts). The heater core is not connected as it probably leaked, The brakes are very good and it stops nice, I'm also including a new set of pads just as I got with car, There is a spare tire, The car does have true factory dual exhaust with origional cats intact and does not appear to have any leaks, The dash needs fixed as in pics as well as the steering wheel, the steering seems nice and tight with minimal play at all, The transmission and rearend feel very tight without noises, the shifter is a little sloppy not too bad, I looked at it and it just needs linkage bushings redone, The glass is all intact but this is arizona and all the rubber is in bad shape and has shrunk from age so the glass is not being held in very secure, Windshield is cracked. Now for the Bad!!! haha the starter is no good I took it out its sitting in my shop and will need replaced, they are $80 at O'Reilly auto parts. I have been push starting the car without any probs. If the bidding gets to a decent price I will consider buying a starter. If you have any questions please ask before bidding is in its last day as I do not watch the auctions or my emails as I have other things going on. If you are in the phoenix area you are more then welcome to come and look at the car you will not be dissapointed.

Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.

Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Montego MX Brougham Sawzall Convertible Edition
Fri, Apr 21 2017You know how it goes— the weather is warm, you want to do some top-down driving, and you lack a proper convertible... but you do have a hooptie Detroit car on one side of the garage and a big ol' Sawzall on the other. Put the two together and you have a Sawzall Convertible, which generally lasts for about one summer before it gets scrapped. Here's a fine example of such a car, photographed in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service junkyard. Most Sawzall Convertibles (yes, it should be called a roadster, but nobody does that) have raw, ragged metal edges, or maybe duct tape over the stumps of the amputated pillars, but someone went to the trouble to weld nice smooth metal covers over the hackage on this one. The windshield is gone. Instead, the windshield frame is ringed by tongue depressors held in place by gooey roofing tar. No, we don't know why. The Montego MX Brougham was a hot-selling personal luxury coupe in its day, selling for $3,041 in 1973. That's just under $17,000 in 2017 dollars. It must have been fun, cruising this thing on Bay Area streets with no roof and a rattle-can spray-bomb job. This one has the optional 400-cubic-inch V8 engine, rated at 171 horsepower. What would this car's original buyer have thought of its fate? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
