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. |

Junkyard Gem: 1972 Mercury Cougar XR-7
Sun, Feb 12 2023Starting with the 1939 model year and continuing through 2011, the rule in Dearborn was that most Ford models would get a dressed-up sibling wearing Mercury badges (and Canadians even got Mercury F-100s and Econolines). When the Mustang first hit showrooms in 1964, the countdown for a Mercurized version began. That car, the Cougar, debuted as a 1967 model marketed as "the man's car." Today's Junkyard Gem is a much-abused example of the early-1970s Cougar, found in a San Francisco Bay Area car graveyard a while back. Just as the Mustang packed on weight and price as the 1960s became the 1970s, the even more heavily gingerbreaded Cougar did the same. For 1971 through 1973, the Cougar was still based on the Mustang chassis but weighed several hundred additional pounds and was more than seven inches longer. The curb weight for this car was 3,298 pounds, versus 2,941 pounds for the lightest '72 Mustang coupe. Yes, there's a Mustang underneath all that chrome! When the Mustang went to a modified Pinto chassis starting in the 1974 model year, the Cougar moved over to the midsize Torino platform and stayed there until it rejoined the Mustang on the Fox platform for 1980 (though the honor of being the Mustang's near-twin went to the Mercury Capri at that point). For 1989, the Cougar became an MN12 Thunderbird sibling, where it remained through its 30th anniversary … and then the Cougar got the axe. The Cougar story wasn't done at that point, however, because the name got revived in 1999 with a Mondeo-based version that lasted through 2002 and bears the distinction of being one of the few Mercury models with no corresponding Ford-badged counterpart. Along the way, there were Cougar sedans and even station wagons, with the curb weight of the heaviest-ever Cougar bloating to well over two tons (the winner of that honor is the 1977 Cougar Villager wagon, scaling in at an astounding 4,482 pounds). In 1972, though, all new Cougars were coupes or convertibles, and all of them came with factory V8 power. The build tag on this one tells us that it was assembled at the River Rouge compound in Dearborn and sold via the Kansas City sales office. That tells us that someone drove this car to California after buying it in the Midwest; Ford also built 1972 Cougars in San Jose, so California Mercury shoppers would have bought locally-produced ones. It's a top-end XR-7 in Medium Bright Yellow paint, with the interior in Medium Ginger.
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.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
