Fuzzy Dice Autos Is excited to share this incredible, highly desireable 1949 Mercury Coupe Lead Sled Hotrod! This beauty came to us by a local collector who is no longer able to drive. He purchased this car completely restored in 2002 and always kept it in a climately controlled garage. I have seen and sold many Mercury hotrods over the years but never one like this. This 49 needs to be seen and driven to be appreciated. Lets start with the body: The paint shines like new. No blemishes anywhere. The chrome may be the best part of the car. Brand new look all the way around. The 60's Desoto grill is massive and beautiful! The roof is dropped six inches. The headlights and taillights are French'd. As are the antenna ports. Hidden buttons under the rear fenders activate the door opener. The door handles, hood and trunk ornimants have been removed when it was nosed and decked. The car is lowered and is equipped with side pipes that are for show only. She does have duel glass packs. The caddy wheel covers, fender skirts and wide white tires really set this sexy car off! All in all it was a masterfull restoration! Nothing on the body was ignored Thousands were spent on the paint alone. The interior is tastefully done and in "like new" condition. The plush cloth interior is immaculate. No rips, tears or blemishes anywhere. The same can be said about the carpeting, dash and gauge package. The car is equipped with power windows, power seats, power doors, power steering and power disc front brakes and after market air conditioning that blows cold. Everything works to perfection. The floor pans and complete under carriage are excellent. Not a hint of rust or damage anywhere. I couldn't resist taking her down the road. The GM 350 small block and the 350 Turbo Highdromatic trans preformed like new. The car drives like new. Runs strong, fast and stops on a dime. The only annoying thing about this beauty are the people who constantly want to be photographed with it! I'm certain I've forgotten some special options but it's safe to say that with more then $70k spent on the restoration, this is one of the most beautiful "bad ass" hotrods out there! Unlike other classic car dealers who photograph their cars in professionally lighted studios or on Hollywood driveways, we at Fuzzy Dice shoot our treasures on our lot with nothing more then a point and shoot camera. So what you see is exactly what you get! We are offering this amazing vehicle at what we think is a very reasonable "Buy it Now" price. All we ask is that those of you that are "first-time" eBay clients contact us before placing your bid. Best of luck bidding! |

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Ford Announces Free Brake-Pad Offer If Customers Stop By Dealers
Mon, Aug 4 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1. "This program reflects our commitment to providing customers with an excellent ownership experience regardless of the age of their vehicle," said Frederiek Toney, President of Ford Customer Service, in the company's announcement of the offer.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri XR2
Mon, Jun 5 2023Just a year after the Mazda MX-5 Miata first went on sale in the United States, Ford's Mercury Division began selling a similarly-priced two-seat convertible here. This was the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, and I've found an example of the hot-rod turbocharged version in a northeastern Colorado car graveyard. The Capri name has an illustrious history within the Ford Empire. First used on a Lincoln in 1952, it went on to serve as the name for a hardtop version of the early-1960s Ford Consul in the UK, then as the designation for a low-end trim level on the 1966-1967 Mercury Comet. Starting in the 1969 model year in Europe (1970 in North America), Ford began selling the best-known Capri of all: a sporty coupe based on the Cortina, sold through Mercury dealers in the United States but never badged as a Mercury here. Sales of that Capri halted here after 1978 (they continued through 1986 in Europe), but the Mercury Division then moved the name over to its version of the 1979-1986 Ford Mustang. After that, Ford Australia took the Capri name for a new Mazda 323-based sports car beginning in 1989. Then Dearborn decided that an Americanized version of the Australian Capri would be a success on this side of the Pacific, and left-hand-drive Capris began showing up in American Mercury showrooms in late 1990. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those first-model-year cars, and it's the very rare turbocharged XR2 version. While this car was intended to be a competitor for the Miata, it's really that car's Mazda cousin. Both cars got their power from 1.6-liter versions of Mazda's versatile B engine, though the Capri had the same front-wheel-drive setup as its 323/Protege (and Escort/Tracer) platform siblings. At the same time, Ford was selling Kia-built Mazdas with Festiva (and, a bit later, Aspire) badging, alongside Mazda MX-6s with Probe badges. Just to make things interesting, American Mazda dealers were selling Ford Explorers as Mazda Navajos, while Rangers with Mazda badges followed starting in 1994. The 1990s were Mazda-riffic times at Ford! This car wasn't the first Australian-designed, Mazda-based Ford product sold in the United States. That honor belongs to the 1988-1989 Mercury Tracer, which was based on the same Mazda 323 platform as the Capri and built in Mexico. Later on, the Tracer remained a member of the 323 chassis family but was a nearly identical twin to its Ford Escort sibling.
