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.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis LS

Thu, Nov 24 2022

We've all been seeing the instantly familiar Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor on North American roads for what seems like forever, though in fact the very first of the aerodynamic Crown Vics didn't appear until a mere 31 years ago. Yes, after more than a decade of boxy LTD Crown Victorias, Dearborn took the late-1970s-vintage Panther platform and added a brand-new, Taurus-influenced smooth body and modern overhead-cam V8 engine, giving us the 1992 Ford Crown Victoria. The rule was, since 1939, that (nearly) every Ford model needed a corresponding Mercury, and so the Mercury Division applied different grille and taillights and the rejuvenated Grand Marquis was born. Here's one of the first of those cars to be built, now residing in a Denver-area self-service boneyard. The Marquis name goes respectably far back, to the late 1960s and a Mercurized version of the Ford LTD hardtop. The Grand Marquis began life as the name for an interior trim package on the 1974 Marquis Brougham (also LTD-based), eventually becoming a model in its own right for the 1979 model year. Today's Junkyard Gem came off the Ontario assembly line in March 1991, making one of the very first examples built. For 1992 (and through 2011), the Grand Marquis was a Crown Victoria with slightly enhanced bragging rights. This one has the top-grade LS trim, with an MSRP of $20,644 (that's about $44,370 in inflation-adjusted 2022 dollars). The corresponding Ford-badged model (built on the same assembly line by the same workers) would have been the Crown Victoria LX, which actually cost a bit more: $20,987 ($44,910 now). The very cheapest civilian 1992 Crown Vic cost just $19,563 ($42,045 today). There weren't any powertrain differences between the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis in 1992. The only engine available was this Modular 4.6 SOHC V8, rated at either 190 (single exhaust) or 210 (dual exhaust) horsepower. The transmission was a four-speed automatic with overdrive. How many miles are on this one? Can't say! Based on the worn-out interior, I'm going to guess 221,719 miles passed beneath this car's wheels during its 32-plus years on the road. I've seen some very high-mile Police Interceptors, of course, including one with 412,013 miles, but Ford didn't go to six-digit odometers in the Grand Marquis until a bit deeper into the 1990s. Thanks to flawed speech-to-text applications on smartphones, the Grand Marquis is known as the "Grandma Keith" to many of us today.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When 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.

This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway

Tue, Oct 27 2015

The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below. Related Video:
