Wonderful Blue Capri, show car or driver, (ROAD TRIP CAR) by 2nd owner 1973 , I am selling this for the owner who does not have computer skills, When he brought the CAPRI over to my house to photograph, it is the wonderful example of a redone, modified car,
I was amazed at the car, It is so clean, you can eat off the engine.. . Probable the best kept original and modified car I have ever seen. It paint is crisp and bright, (camera does not capture the color) the white on the top, seats, rear tire package is white and not stained or tarnished. All of the chrome is 95 to 98% with only one tiny ding in mid of the front bumper. Bumperettes are excellent rubber, grill perfect, front spoiler or air damn is added and looks perfect. Rear lights have been changed because original were degraded. Everything works on the car lights, horn, etc. Full Owner's Manuals, advertising brochures, etc, Factory maintenance manual goes with car about 1.5 inches thick, cost $35.00 in 1980. Pick it up in Scranton and drive it to Florida, California etc. will go anywhere.A wonderful summer road trip use the CB to talk to the truckers and others in route, what a blast. This CAPRI looks and drives like a NEW CAR. Why have a common Mustang or Chevy when you can get this Capri, you will not see another. Wait till you read the additions that work perfect... all of these interior additions were around 1980 and have only 1500 miles on the car since their installation .1. power antenna, 2. Power windows, 3. power trunk lid, 4.interior trunk lights 5. interior trunk trim including, first aid kit, tool kit. 6. Realistic CB Radio. 7. ZT Dynamic Travel computer which tell mileage, battery voltage, outside temperature, also works a cruise control. and some other functions (has a manual) 8. New 1980 Kenwood Stereo radio, with a cassette player, with rear speakers in shelf behind rear seats and in front doors. The running gear and engine are maintained but not traveled on, since the older build up of 1500 to 2000 miles ago. Engine starts and runs fine (will probably need a tune up sometime), Has new rack and pinion steering put in 5 years ago with 200 miles on it. Tires are up, lots of tred, good pressure, no sign of dry rot probably installed 1990. THIS CAR IS KEPT in the owners garage and is climate controlled (heated in winter and in the mountains of PA, no humidity) The owner is very detail orientated. Garage is perfect. like the car. Car has been in numerous auto shows and has won awards in modified class (ACCA) (award goes with the car) , This car is a head turner wherever it goes, It is almost perfect and get great mileage as well. RETURN THE CAPRI to original. The Continental Kit, would come right off, and the bumper bolts back on. The console in the inside can be removed but you would loose some goodies. The trunks has been redone in carpeting with a first aid box, that would have to go back to cheap original stuff.Owner may or may not have the original tail lights way in the attic but he can't be sure, he remembers them as not in the best of shape, whatever is there in the attic, you get. The electric windows would probably have to stay. IT IS sure to bring a value to people for years to come. a great investment Call the owner at (Fred) at 570 842 8847 he will give you more info. However, any bidding goes through Ebay. I was adverse to listing this so low priced without a reserve...but he wanted it..He is wanting this car to go to the right person. A box of original parts go with it. Thanks for looking |

Mercury Cougar from Bond film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' is up for auction
Fri, Nov 20 2020To a James Bond fan, this is a very cool and important car. This 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 up for auction by Bonhams was one of three used during the filming of 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," the one-and-done film starring George Lazenby that's a dark horse favorite among many Bond fans (this one included, there's a Japanese-market 'OHMSS' poster hanging behind me as I type this). However, this was not James Bond's car in the movie. He drove an Aston Martin DBS, including in the film's pre-titles sequence when he follows Tracy di Vicenzo driving her bright red Cougar. She would go on to rescue him with it in Switzerland (hence the skis), sacrificing its pretty red paint and body work in a demolition derby on ice that they use to shake Blofeld's Benz-driving goons. Later, after getting caught in a blizzard, they seek refuge in a barn -- a pivotal scene in the film and one where this particular Cougar was apparently used. ON HER MAJESTYS SECRET SERVICE | Ice Car Race However, even without the Bond connection, this Cougar is a very cool car. It was one of only 127 in 1969 to be fitted with the top-of-the-line 428 CobraJet Ram Air V8 rated at 335 horsepower. Tracy had a serious muscle car. Bonham's doesn't seem to have thought to provide a Marti report, but I'm guessing the build of XR7, convertible and a color combo of matching red exterior and interior wasn't exactly a common one. Well, we know there were at least three. With skis and French number plates, too. As for the '69 Cougar itself, this was the only year it looked like this: it got a new body for '69 that would last two years, but the horizontal grille slats that extended over the headlight doors (so cool!) didn't carry over to 1970. It looked worse, and it could easily be argued that it was only downhill from here for the Cougar. The auction is set for December 16 and Bonhams is estimating a sale price of between $130,000 and $200,000. That certainly makes sense given the rarity of a CobraJet Cougar, the film connection and the complete restoration undertaken by the man who found it in a classified ad in the late 1980s. He originally just wanted it for the engine until he discovered the Bond connection. I actually saw this very car at the 50th Anniversary "Bond in Motion" exhibit at the Beaulieu Motor Museum in England back in 2013 (pictured below). There's also a model of the thing sitting next to me.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The 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.
