Finest Built 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis Marauder Resto-mod W/37k Org. Miles on 2040-cars
Lake Worth, Florida, United States
Up for sale is a truly one of a kind automotive creation that will impress even the die-hard enthusiast. The core of the project was a fully loaded and PERFECT all original 1996 Glacier White Mercury Grand Marquis (Same body Style as Marauder) with only 35,000 miles 6 months ago! Then totally rebuilt it from the ground up! The car is of Barret-Jackson Quality, similar Resto-Rods of less desirable models regularly bring 45-50K. Loaded with every option, it became the perfect car to complete our Resto-Rod transformation. Our goal was to create a BETTER then new 2003 2004 Mercury Marauder. What we ended up with is a faster, more luxurious and better handling version that is unique. Many thanks go to the talented folks at AFE (Advanced Flow Engineering) in California for creating the custom intake, fuel delivery systems and tuning and our own home town heroes in Lake Worth, Custom Exhausts who helped to make this car as fabulous as it is. No other Marauder cloned or original is faster, better built or as stylish. Here is just a small list of the components that also comprise the build:
• Enkei 20"x9" 5 Spoke Limited Edition LM Marauder style wheels. • Nitto NT 555 Extreme 245/35/ZR20 Tires for the ultimate in traction and stability. • Brembo Non-Fade Rotors and Ceramic Brake Pads to provide exceptional stopping power! • Stainless Steel Complete Dual Exhaust with 2 1/2'" pipes, Catback Mufflers & Marauder Tips for a sport profile & performance sound • Jet Technology Power Chip and Programmer that provided a 20% increase in HP and MPG over the stock computer. • Custom Made Fully Ported Complete K&N Cold air intake system • Self-Leveling Suspension (PrecisionTrak) that constantly adjusts for driving conditions on the fly. • State of the Electronics (Passport Max Radar, Garmin GPS, Alpine Head unit for Ipods, CD, Tuner, MP3, Chips and Active Sirius) all built in with no external wiring! • Fully Digtal Dash and Gauges with Factory Trip Computer including Auto Meter Marauder Pod Gauges. • Hella HID headlights, 15000K Xenon Intensity. Safest way to drive at night and looks awesome. • HID Foglights (Driving) with 12K bulbs. • High Lift Duration Crane Cam, then engine balanced and blueprinted!. • Finest Ceramic LLumar Window tinting all around with a lifetime guarantee • Custom Made Embroidered Marauder Floor Mats. The latest Dyno test resulted at 348 HP at the REAR WHEELS, faster then any Original Marauder but never put on any track or raced (Even stoplight! lol) but as comfortable as any highway cruiser in existence. So much more was put into it, would take pages to list. If you want a one of a kind car that could not be duplicated for a fraction of the build cost, here it is. We have over 35K invested in this creation but will sell it to begin our newest endeavor! You must see and drive it to fully appreciate it! Thank you for your interest |

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
