Selling my 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis.
Well actually I gave this to my wife, but we both drive it.

Car runs excellent, and looks fabulous as well.

Was used in a Jacksonville Jaguars parade as well, 
and even has the special parade lighting for that still installed. 
You will see it too!

I am the original owner, and kept up always with any maintenance.

This is a unique car, in that the gas mileage was seriously under rated.
Gets more like 30MPG. This is very rare!

You can check postings on this at MSN auto dated around 2000-2008.

Almost as good as a Honda Civic actually!

Inside is all leather, and looks almost as good as new too.
It is dark green during the day, and appears fluorescent purple black at night.
With the tinted glass, makes it very sleek looking at night.

I always remove the hub caps during winter. And they are very nice looking still, and sparkle well.

Has a spare tire still factory installed and never used.

Mileage is all highway from Illinois to Florida. I made so many trips while I was working both states

I even have the original window sticker for it, and all paperwork.

Never needed anything, and always ready to drive.
Stored in Winters.

I am moving out of the state of Illinois to the SW, and can't brink all the cars with me.

I will be taking my truck, or else I would still keep this one.

Now it your time to enjoy many more miles with this car.
My reserve is well below low.
As I have to move, and can't take it with in a moving truck already hauling another in tow.

If there was anything wrong with this car that I know of, would be for some reason the cruise control stopped working. 
And my wife came home one day from shopping with some of the paint marks on the front bumper as in pictures.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

Please look at shipping costs if you plan on shipping.
This item is also listed in local ads, and may even be sold first there.
Feel free to come and test drive, and give me a call to look at it.
This car definately grabs attention.
Sleek and stylish.
Like no other.

I recently even added the fender guards.
I liked they way they look.
As some pictures in this are 2 months old, and some just taken a few days ago.

If it needs anything, would be next year or 2 for new tires coming up.
This car is almost mint!

Of any accident I am aware of was in Las Vegas 6 years.
As the car grill was hit in a parking lot.
And my repair friend did even better for me, and replaced the entire front, since it had so many chips 
from road drives in the past.

This car truly looks new.
Almost like factory new today!

Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?

Sun, May 22 2016

These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
