1986 Mercury Capri 5.0. Oxford White with Canyon Red interior. 102,XXX miles This car was completely optioned out for the 1986 model year. This particular car was ordered with the Power Door Lock group, which included - Power Door Locks, Power trunk release, Cruise Control. Air Conditioning, Premium Sound system, AOD transmission which shifts perfectly, and may have been rebuilt with a shift kit. The rarest option on this car is T-Tops (1 of 1,252 in 1986). Due to the particularly high attrition rate in 5.0 Fox body cars, i'm sure this number is currently lower. This car represents the top of the line Fox platform car available in 1986 (Capri, Mustang, Fairmont). Recently the car has gone through a light mechanical restoration, to include: Motorcraft OEM spark plugs, Ford Racing plug wires, OEM replacement balljoints, inner and outer tie rods, alignment, front brake rotors and pads ( rears will need attention), starter, solenoid, battery terminals and wires, radiator. The interior of the car is near flawless, with the exception of the dash, which is sun-damaged and has a cover over it. The Canyon Red seats are still vibrant, and may have been re-upholstered at some time in the recent years. This car still has the Luggage cover, unfortunately the T-top covers are no longer with the car. Drivetrain is completely stock, with the exception of an off-road H pipe, and American Thunder series Flowmasters. Paint is very nice, unfortunately it has begun to peel in some spots due to lack of prep during re-paint. It is otherwise very straight and clean, even wearing its original front fascia tag on the coolant support. Car does have a lien on it which will need to be lifted before you can assume the title. I will not sell the car for less than the lien so this should not be an issue.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
