THIS IS A 1983 MERCURY CAPRI RALLY SPORT, A RARE CAR! IT IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 5.0 ENGINE, 5 SPEED MANUEL TRANSMISSION, POWER STEERING AND FACTORY AIR CONDITION.

THE MILEAGE SHOWN IS SUPPOSED TO BE ORIGINAL MILES AND I REALLY BELIEVE IT, BUT ON SELLING THIS CAR, I AM MAKING IT EXEMPT FOR MY PROTECTION.

ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT NEW HEADLINER AND SEATS WERE INSERTED. VERY LITTLE BODY DAMAGE WITH NO RUST AS ARKANSAS DOES NOT HAVE SALT ON THE ROADS. RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT EXCEPT THE TIRES ARE WEAK, BUT I HAVE A NICE SET TO GO ON IT IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE IT HOME.

THIS RALLY SPORT IS RARE AND MAKES A GOOD DRAG CAR WITH WIDE BACK TIRES BECAUSE OF THE FACTORY SWELL IN REAR QUARTER PANELS SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CAPRI INSTEAD OF A MUSTANG.

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SELL THIS VEHICLE LOCALLY, OR SELL IT ANYTIME AND MAY END THE AUCTION IF THE VEHICLE SELLS. I HAVE SET THE RESERVE AT A REASONABLE PRICE TO PROTECT MY INTEREST.

NOTE: IF YOU ARE A NEW USER, OR HAVE 0 FEEDBACKS, YOU WILL NEED TO CALL ME BEFORE BIDDING, IF YOU DO NOT CALL ME, I WILL CANCEL YOUR BIDS.

I AM A REGISTERED ARKANSAS DEALER, SO SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE FANTASTIC CLASSIC CARS.

BANK WIRE TRANSFER OR CASH IS THE ONLY METHOD OF PAYMENT I WILL ACCEPT. WE PREFER YOU COME TO BENTON ARKANSAS TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION, AND WILL FURNISH TRANSPORTATION FROM THE AIRPORT. ALSO I CAN ASSIST IN FINDING TRANSPORTATION SHIPPING IF NEEDED. MY NAME IS RANDY, PLEASE CALL ME AT 501-413-8793 WITH QUESTIONS, AS IT WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO ANSWER EMAILS

NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights

Sat, Aug 15 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
