You are looking at one of the cleanest and nicest cars you will see from the 1990’s decade. My grandmother purchased this car new in 1992 and was hers until her recent death. During the time she was here she almost never drove this car, and it spent most of its time in a garage and under cover. Near the end of her life she never drove the car, in fact it stayed in the garage untouched for many years until she passed away and left it to me. I had to transfer the title from her name to mine during the execution of her will, but since I have put less than around 50 miles on the car, I still consider it to be a one owner car.

This car has never been wrecked or damaged in any way, never been smoked in, and never been repainted. The interior is like a new car, with no stains or markings of any sort. There is no signs of wear anywhere on the seats or carpeting, and as I said, if it were sent to a detail shop for a professional buffing a detail, you would think this is a new car. This car is so nice, I had originally wanted to keep the car for myself and drive it, but due to my lifestyle I have found that it is just sitting here wasting away in my garage, just like it did at my grandmother’s house. This is the only reason I am looking at selling this car.

Once I took possession of the car I found there were several issues I needed to address which are normal for cars which have been sitting for a long period of time. I have replaced the brakes and rebuilt the calipers on all 4 wheels, replaced the muffler and master cylinder. I have also changed the oil and the transmission fluid. I also found the original tires from 1992 were still on the car and needed to be replaced just due to age. At that point I decide I wanted to have larger and wider tires on the car, so I ordered a set of later model 16” aluminum wheels and purchased new tires for those wheels. I have kept the original 15” steel wheels and covers just in case someone wanted them which are in the trunk. When I got the 16” wheels 2 of the center caps were missing and I have not replaced them yet. They are easy to find and can be had new online for about $20.00 each.

This car runs great and I would feel safe driving it anywhere. The air conditioning blows cold air and is working very well. That being said, I feel I need to discuss the transmission and its condition. Though I have not driven the car very much, I have felt the transmission slip a little on the highway while in overdrive. I have not noticed any slipping while in drive just driving around town and not on the highway at high speeds. I have taken the car to a reputable mechanic who made a complete inspection. Because he removed the pan he again replaced the transmission fluid with new and test drove the car. Once he was done he said that he didn’t believe anything could really be wrong with the transmission other than it just needed to be driven.  He said once the car had someone driving it every day it would more than likely stop slipping at all, and with just 22,000 miles on it there should be nothing internal causing it other than something sticking due to not being driven.

By bidding on this car you agree to pick it up and pay in full with cash money within 2 weeks of the end of the sale. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will answer as quickly as possible.

Icon and Stealth EV are building an electric Derelict Mercury

Mon, May 14 2018

Icon, a company known for its high-quality restomod vehicles, is building another Derelict, this one a 1949 Mercury coupe. While the fact Icon is building another one of its sleeper hot rods with patina isn't the most shocking, what's under the hood is. The company has teamed up with Stealth EV to turn this latest Derelict into an electric car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car was shown in the above Twitter post with video. The exterior is just what you'd expect from an Icon Derelict. It's solid but with a weathered finish. And even as the guy from Stealth EV approaches the car, it looks like it has a V8 under the hood. But as he explains, there's actually the two motor controllers and half of a Tesla battery pack under there. It's just that they've all been given some classy looking metal casings and mounted to look like a V8. Apparently the motors themselves are in the transmission tunnel. The Stealth EV rep says it uses a pair of AM Racing motors. Depending on which motor controllers the companies are using, those motors could produce as much as 700 horsepower. Power will go to the rear wheels and no transmission will be used, making it direct drive. It will have a limited-slip differential, and the whole car sits on an Art Morrison chassis with independent suspension. This actually isn't the first electric Icon, nor the first developed with Stealth EV. Before this, the companies created a totally awesome electric Volkswagen Thing. That little truck made much less power at 180 horses, but it was also a way smaller and lighter vehicle. Related Video:

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.

Ford Announces Free Brake-Pad Offer If Customers Stop By Dealers

Mon, Aug 4 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1. "This program reflects our commitment to providing customers with an excellent ownership experience regardless of the age of their vehicle," said Frederiek Toney, President of Ford Customer Service, in the company's announcement of the offer.
