Is this Steve McGarrett's triple black Marquis sedan from Five-O? I wished it was but it is as close as you can come to the real deal. The only triple black Marquis Brougham I have ever found and in fabulous bone stock original condition...ready to restore as stock to honor that great TV series from the late 60's and 70's or make her into one incredibly cool radrod!

here are the specs
>460ci v8 with 4v carb & C6 trans
>59800 original miles
>pillar post style hardtop sedan
>all available power options (PS, PB, PWindows, PSeats, PLocks, AC, Cruise)
>three owners only...original owner from Bremerton, WA area then sold locally there and I bought her about a year ago


here's the good
>runs strong and whisper quiet
>new carb, fuel pump and front brakes
>100% there...I mean 100% and all factory matching original stock.
>perfect glass!
>great interior (seats, door panels, headliner all fine w/ exception of two small repair spots in driver's seat)
>dash in excellent condition (no cracks or other blems)
>power seats work fine
>excellent body with minor dents and very minimal rust in lower fenders only...super solid floors!
>really good chrome and stainless steel trim with only a few bings...front bumper is perfect & rear bumper very good
>headlight doors work

then the bad
>issues with power windows at this time which I am working on (mostly just lubrication issues)
>wipers need new switch
>gas gauge not working
>cruise control not working
>power locks buggy
>AC not hooked up & needs full service
>steering wheel cracked
>front carpet sun faded
>very slight sunfading in front seats & small repair on side of driver's seat as mentioned above
>tires only fair to good
>a few bings in the body and trim and a couple of rust spots in lower fenders but very minor and easily fixed
>some rust bubbles under vinyl roof and material shrunken so will need new top eventually

an of course, the ugly
>she desperately needs paint! it's in terrible condition and being black everything shows from 20feet.


If this car was any other combination, she just would not have the appeal that all black does. A true 70's gangster ride but don't say it too loud or the ghost of Jack Lord might smite you down. Whether for good or evil, this is a sexy bad ass ride. On top of that, this car is an easy restoration which I would do myself but I bought another classic car which is priority for me right now so this bad girl needs to go down the road to the next lucky contestant...which is YOU!

I do also have the Merc advertised locally so reserve the right to pull this listing early if I get an acceptable offer.  I am reasonable on what I require to sell the car especially to one who knows how rare and unique this ride is.  More photos are available by request and local delivery possible.

Email your interest and I will respond back soon.

Mahalo!

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford 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.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
