I AM HOPING TO SELL THIS CAR THIS WEEK. I AM MOVING IN WITH MY GIRLFRIEND AND I'M TRYING TO CUT DOWN ON ALL MY TOYS FOR HER SAKE. SO PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INFO IN THIS LISTING. NOTHING IS KEPT SECRET AND ALL THE DETAILS / PICS/ VIDEOS ON THIS CAR ARE INCLUDED HERE. READ IT ALL AND WE CAN MAKE A DEAL.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THOUGH, I AM NOT IN ANY WAY DESPERATE TO SELL THIS CAR. IN 2006 I WAS OFFERED 16,000 CASH FOR IT, BEFORE IT HAD ANY COSMETIC DAMAGE, AND I BACKED OUT. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 11 YEARS, AND I CAN HOLD ON TO IT FOR ANOTHER 11 IF IT MEANS IDIOTS TRYING TO LOW-BALL ME. I KNOW WHAT THIS CAR IS, AND I KNOW WHAT IT'S WORTH. MARTI REPORT IS SHOWN BELOW, AND ALSO THE BOOK VALUE. I'M SELLING IT WAY UNDER BOOK VALUE. I'VE OWNED DOZENS OF CLASSIC CARS IN MY DAY. I KNOW WHAT THEY SELL FOR AND I KNOW WHAT THEY'RE WORTH, BOOK VALUE OR NOT... WITH THAT SAID, PLEASE NOTE, THAT THE LISTING PRICE IS JUST THE LISTING PRICE- I DO HAVE A RESERVE ON THIS CAR THAT IS NOT FAR FROM THE LISTING PRICE, BUT I DEFINITELY INTEND ON WALKING AWAY WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT BEFORE THE EBAY MAFIA DIGS INTO MY POCKET OFF THIS SALE... SO, IF YOU ARE GENUINELY INTERESTED, PLEASE SPEAK UP, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO SELL THIS CAR THIS WEEK, TO SOMEONE REASONABLE AND INTELLIGENT. IF YOU'RE A LOW-BALL MORON WITH NO BRAINS, COMMON SENSE, OR TACT, PLEASE STOP READING, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN SELLING YOU MY CAR. I CAN GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE FOR 1800, THAT YOU CAN PLAY WITH ON WEEKENDS. THIS ONE, YOU PUT THE KEY IN AND DRIVE ANYWHERE IN THE U.S. THE VIDEO BELOW WILL PROVE THAT, SO IT WILL NOT LEAVE MY HANDS FOR LESS THAN 8500.00 UNLESS YOU MANAGE TO CONVINCE ME WITH A GOOD STORY OF WHY I SHOULD SHAVE OFF A FEW BUCKS. IM AN INTELLIGENT, VERY SUCCESSFUL YOUNG ADULT MALE. I'M DEFINITELY NOT STRUGGLING FOR THE CASH, MY CHECKING ACOUNT THAT I USE EVERY DAY HAS 3X THE LISTING PRICE IN IT, ON A MONTHLY BASIS. I DON'T NEED THE MONEY AT ALL, I'M SELLING IT FOR THE ROOM IN MY LIFE THAT I NEED TO MAKE FOR SOMETHING I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT. I CAN LIVE WITHOUT THIS CAR RIGHT NOW. This is an ORIGINAL Authentic SACRAMENTO California Car with A CLEAN TITLE, and the original Ford Auto Works Marti Report, confirming the rarity of this particular car. That interior for instance, is possibly the ONLY documented ORIGINAL leather interior that came with the car, and it is nearly intact, and would probably cost well into the thousands to try and replicate - IF that is, you can find CONVERTIBLE seating frames somewhere. The interior for these cars is IMPOSSIBLE to find, and this one you will not find in another car. The Marti report confirms that this is the actual interior that came with this car. I will include a photo of this, and also video clip of ANOTHER car, of this same exact make, that exists somewhere.
Along with the Marti report, I have the original CA title to the car, it is currently registered, insured, indoor garaged, and I drive it often. Most of the receipts of work, repair, or upgrades done to this car are in my possession. I have owned the car for just about 11 years The following are additions/upgrades I have made on the car: * Power Top Motor * New white vinyl top with GLASS window (replaced several years ago) * Flowmaster "Delta Flow" series dual exhaust muffler and pipes * Ford Motorcraft aftermarket 2v carburetor * New alternator * ALL belts: (done this summer) * Radiator * Power steering gear box * Power steering reservoir (TWICE) * SHOCKS (done this Oct 2013) Monroe air shocks (rear) KYB Excel-G shocks (front) -shown in photos and VIDEO clip- * BRAKES (front AND rears, pads AND rotors - ceramic street race kit) * Ignition coil * LEAF SPRINGS (this is a VERY costly and LABORIOUS repair!) * Ignition * New radio and interior color code matching speakers (radio is a few years old, but is ipod and satellite radio equipped) * "Bullet-style" door locks * New windshield wipers * New windshield washer box * New fuel line hoses * The tires are new, but there is wear to the sidewalls of the rear tires. * New 800cca performance battery * New rear view mirror * Replacement Ford "houndstooth" pattern trunk mat * Recent tune up * There was 1700.00 worth of front end work, and more additions I can't think of at the moment. * Oil Change JUNE 2 2014 * STEAM CLEAN PROCESS BEGUN JUNE 2 2014 Nearly EVERYTHING on this car is new, except for the engine itself, the carpet and the steel floors of the car. Some things I left as is, as it came with the car. I haven't gone too crazy under the hood, except for maintenance as needed, so all of the engine components like the air cleaner, valve covers, etc, I haven't done up all pretty. They're the stock ones that came with the car for the most part. It is a turn-key daily driver, that looks like it could be in a car show from 15 feet away EASILY when the top is down. The pictures will show that. This car has been featured by well known musicians in several music videos for its stylish appearance and uniqueness. It's definitely a celebrity looking car. I I have provided a 45 (yes FORTY FIVE) minute video of the car's performance, from the point I open the door, turn the ignition, and drive out of a garage in Westchester, and park outside of a gallery in Chelsea Manhattan to go around the car and show you the outside of the car. The video clip is a simulated ride of how the car performs: no strange noises, (JUST MOTOR and EXHAUST!), no overheating, or warning signals, no stalling. I would watch ALL of the 45 minute video. The camera is on the gauges the entire time, except for when I show the convertible power top coming down with no problem. At the end, I show the newly installed shocks and the exhaust purring. So, if you would like proof in advance of how this car runs, and that it WORKS, you have about 45 minutes of footage, and the Youtube info shows you WHEN it was uploaded. It has not been driven much since then. I am the third owner of this car. . . This car has been PAMPERED, garaged indoors for seven years, and "toured" all over New York City. It has been driven from San Francisco, where it was bought, to Los Angeles, trailored from Los Angeles to New York City, driven up and down the North East coast with NO PROBLEMS. It has NEVER broken down on me. That interior is almost in mint condition, with exception to the drivers seat, because I drive the car alot, but never carry passengers. There are a few areas of cosmetic imperfection, and there is a small area in the rear floor that needs patching up, to make the car floors 100% defect-free. The carpet is worn down, and is probably not the original, but it's the one that came with the car when I bought it. The paint is also not original. It was painted over, before I owned it, and the ORIGINAL color is shown, in the photos with the interior, taken at night. It was painted midnight blue, to match the famous color code of the Ford Mustangs that were made in this color code (dark blue with baby blue and white seating etc). There IS rust in the trunk but no holes rotted through. I have added pictures of this. THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK: *The driver's side seat belt gets stuck every now and then, I accidentally busted the housing of it. *The center console lid is off. *The AC/Heat system needs Fre-On. It has not been used since I bought the car in California (didn't need the AC there OR the heat). *The oil gauge and the "amps" gauge does not work. *The small two rear quarter windows do not roll down. (Those use a motor different from the mail power window motor and they are IMPOSSIBLE to find.) *The cigarette lighter doesn't work. *The hazard lights need to be changed. These are VERY minor things that don't interfere with the performance of the car, and it still turns heads no matter what. If you would like to make an appointment to see the car, please leave all your info and I can bring the car to you at some point. It drives like a dream. I really suggest you look at this video below: Below, is another example of my exact car, in the original color code the one I'm selling was painted over in. These color codes DO exist, despite people thinking this is a "custom" interior job- NO. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR AND THEREFORE VALUABLE AND RARE. This car is worth ALOT of money. MARTI REPORT SAYS ONE OUT OF 176. One out of TWO that I've seen in existence. Here is the second one: (that second one, in the youtube video above is NOT available though. It is LONG gone. Don't miss out on THIS one). STEAM CLEAN PROCESS, TO SHINE THE UNDRENEATH |

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights
Sat, Aug 15 2015The 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.
