1992 Mercury Grand Marquis "one Owner, Like New 22k Miles". on 2040-cars
Woodstock, Georgia, United States
|
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. |

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.
Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.
