I'M SELLING THIS CAR FOR MY SISTER AS A PARTS CAR, THERE IS NO TITLE. SHE MOVED DOWN SOUTH AND IS NOT GOING TO FINISH THE RESTORATION PROJECT THAT HER EX BOYFRIEND STARTED 10 YEARS AGO. IT USE TO BE A GOOD DRIVING CAR BEFORE HE STARTED TO TAKE IT APART AND WORK ON IT. WELL, THEY BROKE UP AND THE CAR WAS LEFT IN PIECES. I'M PRETTY SURE ALL THE PARTS ARE HERE. ALL THE PANELS APPEAR TO STILL BE IN VERY SOLID CONDITION. THE VINAL TOP WAS REMOVED YEARS AGO, SO THE ROOF LOOKS A LITTLE ROUGH, BUT NO MAJOR HOLES,IT LOOKS LIKE ITS ALL SURFACE RUST, A COUPLE VERY SMALL PIN HOLES, BUT THE METAL SEEMS VERY SOLID STILL. THE REAR GLASS WAS REMOVED IN THE PROCESS SO IT GOT WET INSIDE FROM TIME TO TIME, THE CAR WAS COVERED MOST OF THE TIME, BUT NOT ALL OF THE TIME. THE VINYL INTERIOR IS IN ROUGH CONDITION. I'M PRETTY SURE IT HAS THE ORIGINAL 289 V8 ENGINE. THE TOP PART OF THE ENGINE WAS TORN DOWN AND ALL THE PARTS ARE IN THE TRUNK ALONG WITH ALL THE EXTERIOR CHROME PIECES AND EMBLEMS. ALL THE GLASS IS IN GREAT CONDITION, NO CRACKS. THE PANELS ARE LINED UP NICELY AS WELL AS THE DOORS AND THEY OPEN AND CLOSE PERFECTLY, I DON'T THINK THE CAR WAS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. CHECK OUT THE PICTURES, PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL ANSWER THEM AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Junkyard Gem: 1993 Mercury Topaz GS Sedan
Sat, Aug 13 2022As long as the Mercury brand existed — a period spanning the 1939 through 2011 model years — nearly every Mercury sold in the United States was more or less a redecorated Ford model. The Torino had its Montego sibling, the Crown Victoria had the Grand Marquis, the Cougar was based on everything from the Mustang to the Mondeo, and so on. Naturally, when the folks in Dearborn developed the Ford Tempo compact, a Mercury version had to be created. This was the Topaz, with the official launch of both cars taking place on the deck of the aircraft carrier often referred to as the USS Decrepit. You can't make this stuff up! The Tempo/Topaz, also known as the Tempaz, has largely faded from our collective automotive memory by now, since it broke no significant new engineering or styling ground (this story would be much different if Ford had only put the amazing straight-eight "T-Drive" Tempaz powertrain into production) and didn't have any endearing features other than being a cheap domestic competitor to the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra. Still, close to 3 million Tempazes left North American Ford and Lincoln-Mercury showrooms during the 1984-1994 period. As you'd expect, most of these disposable cars disappeared from both the street and the car graveyard long ago. It takes a very special Tempaz for me to break out my camera while I'm patrolling my local wrecking yards; generally, this means an ultra-rare all-wheel-drive version or at least a very early model in super-clean condition. Today's Junkyard Gem is neither, but I took one look at this spectacular Bordello Red crypto-velour-and-slippery-plastic interior and recognized that this was no ordinary junkyard Mercury. It appears that Mercury had dropped the idea of clever names for base-grade seat fabrics by the time of the Topaz, referring to this stuff as just "cloth" in all the brochures I could find. That's too bad, because Mercurys had cool names for upholstery (e.g., Chromatex) in the old days. The interior is in very good condition but the steering wheel shows substantial wear, so I think this is a high-mile Topaz that got meticulous care from its owner or owners. Ford used five-digit odometers on these cars until the end of production, however, so we'll never know if this reading indicates 65,404 miles or 365,404 miles. The body is very straight, but there's some nasty corrosion behind the right front wheelwell.
