1986 Mercury Grand Marquis 5.0 Fuel Inj. Daily Driver, Cold A/c on 2040-cars
|
You are bidding on my daily driver. Its a 1986 Mercury Grand Marquis. 5.0 fuel injected with an automatic transmission. It runs and drives great with cold A/C and a hot heater. It has working cruise control and power windows. The passenger front and rear window work fine, the drivers rear needs a new gear, the motor works just wont make it go up. The drivers front I just put a new motor in but has a short in the switch or somthing you have to tap the panel sometimes to make it work. I bought it from an old man about a year ago and love it but I bought a truck and no longer need it. It is all original, even still had the original hoses but I did have all the coolant hoses changed before making a 900 mile trip last summer. It does fine on long trips, I wouldnt be afraid to drive it anywhere. I put about 400 miles a week on it with no problems. The only thing it will do is every now and then when you first start it up it will run rough and act like its missing, but when it does that just kill it and restart and it goes away. It only does that a few times a month so I never worried about getting it looked at and like I said if you simply kill it and restart it runs fine. Also the valve covers are leaking oil from old age, it leaks about a quart about every 1500 miles. The vinyl roof is all split up as you can see in the pics and the head liner and visors are ripped up as well from the age. Other than that its a great car and I hate to sell it. I can store it as long as needed after the auction ends but do require full payment within 14 days of auction ending. If you wish to drive it home I could pick you up from the new orleans airport. If you have any questions or want more pictures send me an email. Happy Bidding....

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?
Wed, May 25 2016Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:
