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.


THE *EXACT* SAME Grand Marquis sold for $3,000 on Ebay 2 weeks ago with 166,000 Miles!

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.

Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar

Thu, Feb 25 2021

We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste.  When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled.  Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes.  "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass.  Related Video:

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
