1993 4.6L Mercury Grand Marquis. Don't look at this post if you don't understand what conditions these cars are usually in. 90% of them are beat to shit. I've personally owned 2 crown vics and 2 grand marquis. I can tell you every problem these cars could and would have, and its not much. Best condition 20 year old grand marquis on the market.
Where do I start? This car is unbelievable. BRAND NEW TOYO TIRES!!!!!! The frame is black. Black as in not a spot of rust. Exhaust isn't even rusty, cats aren't even rusty. When I say black frame I mean southern car, garage kept. The body has little dots of rust under the car. little tiny beginner rust for a 20 year old car. Not flaking rust, not even remotely close. Immaculate. The car has 83,000 miles. Transmission is FLAWLESS and overdrive WORKS. The engine is a 4.6L V8 with an aluminum intake manifold (not plastic like 1995+ and newer models!! Which causes them to leak coolant into the engine!!) perfect radiator, perfect steering, perfect suspension, brake lines are NOT RUSTED! Fuel lines are NOT RUSTED!! underbody is UNBELIEVABLE. comes with alloy rims and DIGITAL DASH! Gets 20mpg! AC is ICE COLD. Heat is HOT. POWER EVERYTHING.
This car was owned by an older lady for 53,000 miles, and then a very up-tight rich fellow I bought it from who kept records on the entire car with a binder. His 22 year old son drove the car. All he did was change the alternator and he has receipts for every oil change.
Now what's wrong with it?
1) Vacuum line leak. Very normal for crown vics and grand marquis. Easy fix, couple hours of labor. Doesn't affect ANYTHING. You can hear it when you open the hood ONLY.
2) Drivers seat is torn. The kid drove with his shirt off and stretched and tore the leather. $150-200 for a seat on Ebay. Easy fix, unbolt, unplug, remove, plug it in and rebolt. 1 hour of labor. Seat is full power.
3) Driver side AND passenger window motors bad. $50 fix. 1 hour of labor. Glass is still perfect. Again, a very common problem for any car 20 years old.
4) Small paint scrapes on rear and front bumper.
That's all that's wrong. Not a dent in the body, 83,000 original miles. If you want to put 100,000+ miles on a car for cheap, with low maintenance, a car that will ALWAYS get you through the winter, a car that will ALWAYS start, always get you to your destination and never leave you stranded. A 4.6L is Fords equivalent of the Chevy 5.7L, and it gets 10mpg better gas mileage. Grand Marquis and Crown Victorias are very high, if not TOP on the list of the most reliable cars out on the market. I'm not asking much, but I'm not letting this go for a steal. All it needs is a seat and 2 window motors. These cars hold their value very well for their age if you want to buy it for your kid to drive, or want a car for the time-being and want to sell it later.
Happy bidding, this car is a gem.

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 recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
