1976 Mercury Capri. Interesting Capri. Saw limited time as an Ice Racer #42, The Spanish Red Racer" with AMEC but the RWD was not the best for racing on ice with all other carshaving  front wheel drive. Retired in 2007. Great interior seats  and has the fold down rear seats like a fastback Mustang. Custom Steering wheel. Needs a  good paint job. V-6  2.8 has a mild cam, Offenhauser intake and a Holley carb. Headers and dual exhaust. Also has a five core custom  radiator so would  not overheat when racing. Standard shift with four speed Ford transmission.  Extremely quick and can top 100 miles per hour. Comes with a choice of wheels. Either the 13 " American racing wheels with radial tires or the 13 " MOMOs with Bridgestone/Firestone snow sponge tires. Your choice. Starts and drives very nice. Power steering rebuilt in Florida and new reverse gear in transmission.   Some rust but nothing major as it is a sound car.  Original spare wheel and tire. Had a vinyl top at one time but that has been removed. Also factory sun roof in working order. Registered and inspected in New York. Good luck bidding, Seller  Adding two photos from 2007 at Algonquin Lake in Wells, NY with #42 Steet Legal Unstudded( SLU) with Bridgestone/Firestone Tires.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.

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!

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
