1986 Mercury Grand Marquis 5.0 Fuel Inj. Daily Driver, Cold A/c on 2040-cars
You are bidding on my daily driver. Its a 1986 Mercury Grand Marquis. 5.0 fuel injected with an automatic transmission. It runs and drives great with cold A/C and a hot heater. It has working cruise control and power windows. The passenger front and rear window work fine, the drivers rear needs a new gear, the motor works just wont make it go up. The drivers front I just put a new motor in but has a short in the switch or somthing you have to tap the panel sometimes to make it work. I bought it from an old man about a year ago and love it but I bought a truck and no longer need it. It is all original, even still had the original hoses but I did have all the coolant hoses changed before making a 900 mile trip last summer. It does fine on long trips, I wouldnt be afraid to drive it anywhere. I put about 400 miles a week on it with no problems. The only thing it will do is every now and then when you first start it up it will run rough and act like its missing, but when it does that just kill it and restart and it goes away. It only does that a few times a month so I never worried about getting it looked at and like I said if you simply kill it and restart it runs fine. Also the valve covers are leaking oil from old age, it leaks about a quart about every 1500 miles. The vinyl roof is all split up as you can see in the pics and the head liner and visors are ripped up as well from the age. Other than that its a great car and I hate to sell it. I can store it as long as needed after the auction ends but do require full payment within 14 days of auction ending. If you wish to drive it home I could pick you up from the new orleans airport. If you have any questions or want more pictures send me an email. Happy Bidding....

Has the Mercury Marauder gotten better with age?
Fri, Oct 23 2015In the early 2000s Mercury desperately wanted to develop some edge for its brand – seemingly stuck between a quasi-premium, quasi-performance space in the Ford Universe. The Marauder is perhaps the most famous of the vehicles that resulted from those efforts, and is rapidly approaching Modern Classic status, today. Effectively a murdered out Grand Marquis with some updated trim pieces – what are company parts bins for, if not raiding? – the Marauder looked convincingly like a bad guy car. The 4.6-liter V8 under its hood that had been breathed on by engineers for a little more power, kicking out 302 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque from the factory. Not exactly Ferrari-baiting numbers, but it'd give your local cop's car a run for its money. Being a wild child of the last decade, of course our friends at MotorWeek had it on the program. What better way to test your mean-mugging muscle sedan than with John Davis' tanned and steady hands?
This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway
Tue, Oct 27 2015The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below. Related Video:
Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Montego MX Brougham Sawzall Convertible Edition
Fri, Apr 21 2017You know how it goes— the weather is warm, you want to do some top-down driving, and you lack a proper convertible... but you do have a hooptie Detroit car on one side of the garage and a big ol' Sawzall on the other. Put the two together and you have a Sawzall Convertible, which generally lasts for about one summer before it gets scrapped. Here's a fine example of such a car, photographed in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service junkyard. Most Sawzall Convertibles (yes, it should be called a roadster, but nobody does that) have raw, ragged metal edges, or maybe duct tape over the stumps of the amputated pillars, but someone went to the trouble to weld nice smooth metal covers over the hackage on this one. The windshield is gone. Instead, the windshield frame is ringed by tongue depressors held in place by gooey roofing tar. No, we don't know why. The Montego MX Brougham was a hot-selling personal luxury coupe in its day, selling for $3,041 in 1973. That's just under $17,000 in 2017 dollars. It must have been fun, cruising this thing on Bay Area streets with no roof and a rattle-can spray-bomb job. This one has the optional 400-cubic-inch V8 engine, rated at 171 horsepower. What would this car's original buyer have thought of its fate? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
