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....

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
