I am anxious to list this true "Barn Find" ( actually it was a single wooden dirt floor garage with a blue tarp door). I also have the picture of the gentlemen who bought it new along side the car as I was loading it on my rollback! I will provide this picture to the purchaser. This ia a numbers matching car! Original paint,original interior ( seats are great for its age ), original carpet, original dash, original door panels, original 4 speed shifter and trans, and even the original dash mounted tach which works, except over time the little orange indicator is a little warped due to the heat I guess. Notice the original 289 engine with its, original                chrome value covers, ( a little surface rust ), chrome oil stick, chrome radiator cap, and chrome breather lid. I understand these were options, and I coundn't believe these cars even the higher horse power 289 came with single exhaust due to the placement of the gas tank. By the way my mechanic did take the gas tank off and cleaned it inside and out, and sealed it. Along with painting it black ( original was grey or silver ). He also replaced the water pump, rebuilt the carburator, new plugs, points, condensor,wires etc, and new battery, he also flushed the radiator.This motor cranks and sounds great, no smoke, no knocks. Smooth running and smooth driver. I have driven it approximately 60-70 miles, but not to fast as tires are over 20 years old and dry rotted. Notice the orginal hard to find Imatation chrome reverse hub caps. Now the body is solid as can be, the underneath ia almost perfect with a little surface coloring. The only rust is around the battery box, minor fix. Again this car is a one owner, Georgia, car that has been well perserved. If you are a cyclone fan surely you will appreciate the opportunity to buy a very rare, original solid car to restore, or to be a time capsule driver. Any question please let me know.   P.S. Currently I have a Bill of Sale from the original owner, I will provided to the purchaser, the necessary Bill of Sale and Georgia tag receipt, for them to be able to register the vechile in whatever state they are from.  Car is for sale locally and we reserve the right to sale it at anytime.

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.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Junkyard Gem: 1979 Mercury Marquis 2-Door Sedan

Sun, Jul 25 2021

As the creator of the now-much-overused term "Malaise Era" (which I say started in 1973 and ended in 1983, full stop), I have a certain affection for the big two-door Detroit cars of the late 1970s. When such a car is built on the very first model year of Ford's long-lived Panther platform and I find one in a junkyard, I must document it. The 1979 Mercury Marquis is such a car, and this one was found in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service yard last month. Since Ford built the Grand Marquis all the way through the demise of the Panther platform— and Mercury itself— in 2011, it's easy for us to forget that the model name started out as just the plain old Marquis, back in the 1967 model year, with the Grand appellation used for the car's top trim level. While today's Junkyard Gem has some of the features of the Grand Marquis and Marquis Brougham trim levels for 1979 (notably the padded vinyl landau roof and power windows), it lacks the huge chrome lower-body moldings of those cars. Instead, it's a regular Marquis 2-door sedan with a big load of expensive options. That landau roof has suffered greatly from its decades beneath the vinyl-disintegrating California sun. The Panther platform was a big technological upgrade from the late-1950s-vintage chassis technology of full-sized Fords of the 1960s and 1970s, and it stayed in front-line service in much the same form through 2011. Though its ride and handling were much improved, the 1979 Marquis was quite a bit smaller than its predecessors, and that caused some grumbling among Mercury shoppers. Some ham-handed junkyard shoppers really tore up the interior of this car while extracting a few bits and pieces, but we can still admire the Pine Green pleather of the glorious Twin Comfort Lounge front seats. You had two engine choices when buying a new '79 Marquis: the base 302-cubic-inch (5.0-liter) Windsor V8 making 129 horsepower or the optional 351-cubic-inch (5.8-liter) Windsor V8 rated at 138 horsepower. This one appears to be the 351, the same engine as had been swapped into the pizza-delivery Mercury I drove in the middle 1980s. New cars sold in California around this time had these giant emissions-numbers stickers on the side glass. Later, they went on the underside of the hood.
