REPAIR VEHICLE FOR SALE:
This is a 1990 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Sedan; white over white, with a gray interior, with 182,000+ miles (exceeds actual posted miles on the odometer). The car is not running at this time due to a water pump repair that was in process, a bolt broke off in the motor and the repair hasn't been made. This can be drilled out, and a new bolt put in its place. The new water pump and all parts come with the car upon sale.
The car has a 302 V8, Auto O/D Transmission, A/C, P/S, P/B, P/Locks, Power Trunk Lock, Power Drivers and Passenger Seat Front. Cruise Control. There is no radio in the car as the radio that was in it was no longer working.
We no longer have the time or money to repair and keep this vehicle. It was my fathers and due to his ailing health he can no longer drive and asked us to sell it for him. The car was a strong runner that shifts very smoothly when it was parked a year ago and everything worked. There is no body damage other than a few nicks and scratches or major rust as is normal for a car of this age. The vinyl top will need to be replaced sometime down the road but it's in fair shape with no apparent cracking. It is discoloring due to weathering. The right rear door needs to be realigned due to it being leaned on by my elderly father as he got in and out of the car, but it does open and shut just fine. The driver's seat motor slips, but this can also be adjusted with little or no work.
NOTHING ELSE IS KEEPING THIS CAR FROM RUNNING other than what has been noted above. As a 1990 vehicle, it is 2 years from no longer having to need to be smogged! This can be an excellent runner for very little time and money for the right owner. This is a California car.
This is a USED CAR and is sold AS IS with NO WARRANTY implied or otherwise. All sales are final. The buyer of the vehicle is responsible for full payment, transportation and insurance. The car must be transported within 5 days of the day of the purchase. No exceptions. The price is FIRM so don't ask. A $500.00 deposit is due within 48 hours of purchase, and the full payment due within 7 days of the close of auction. Cash, PAYPAL or Postal Money Orders ONLY. All funds will be confirmed prior to transfer of the vehicle. The vehicles on either side of this car in the pictures are NOT FOR SALE so again do not ask or inquire. I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time without notice. Any buyer and/or bidder with negative feedback must contact me prior to bidding and explain the situation around the negative feedback. If it’s acceptable I will allow you to bid.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.
