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 |

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags
Thu, Jan 12 2017The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

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.
Junkyard Gem: 1996 Nissan Quest XE with 338,549 miles
Sun, Jul 9 2023When I hit the junkyard, I always look for vehicles with impressive final figures showing on their odometers. I find so many Hondas and Toyotas with better than 300,000 miles that I don't consider them especially noteworthy (the exception being super-low-spec cheap models, such as a Tercel or Civic VX), and it goes without saying that the bar is quite high for Mercedes-Benzes as well. It has been surprisingly difficult to find discarded Nissans that made it past the 300k mark; today's Junkyard Gem is just the fourth I've documented. The highest-mile junked Nissan I'd found prior to today's minivan is a 1994 Maxima with 364,238 miles, followed by a 1987 Maxima with 341,176 miles and a 1986 200SX with 309,222 miles. Keep in mind that Nissan didn't go to six-digit odometers on most of its US-market cars until the early 1980s, and then went to tough-to-read-in-the-junkyard electronic odometers in the early 2000s; this means the pool of potential high-mile Nissans is limited to about the 1983-2000 range of model years. Ford has just as much right to claim credit to this van's impressive mile total as does Nissan, since the Quest was a collaboration between Ford and Nissan that also produced the Mercury Villager; this van was built by Ford at the Ohio Assembly plant. The Quest/Villager platform was derived from the Maxima's, and the engine is pure Nissan: a 3.0-liter VG30 V6 rated at 151 horsepower. The only transmission available in the first-generation (1993-1999) Quest/Villager was a four-speed automatic. This one appears to have been sold new at Landrum Nissan in Pueblo. The rear glass has been painted flat black, possibly to keep prying eyes from seeing valuable cargo. The rear seats are long gone, so this van probably hauled cargo for much of its long life. The front interior seems to be in good shape. Why is this van here? There's body damage on the left rear and right front, suggesting a crash that may have bent the suspension past the worth-fixing threshold. Perhaps the crinkled metal just made this van too unsightly, or maybe some powertrain problem was the culprit. This content is hosted by a third party.
