1992 Mercury Grand Marquis "one Owner, Like New 22k Miles". on 2040-cars
Woodstock, Georgia, United States
|
You are
looking at one of the cleanest and nicest cars you will see from the 1990’s
decade. My grandmother purchased this car new in 1992 and was hers until her
recent death. During the time she was here she almost never drove this car, and
it spent most of its time in a garage and under cover. Near the end of her life
she never drove the car, in fact it stayed in the garage untouched for many
years until she passed away and left it to me. I had to transfer the title from
her name to mine during the execution of her will, but since I have put less
than around 50 miles on the car, I still consider it to be a one owner car. This car has
never been wrecked or damaged in any way, never been smoked in, and never been
repainted. The interior is like a new car, with no stains or markings of any
sort. There is no signs of wear anywhere on the seats or carpeting, and as I
said, if it were sent to a detail shop for a professional buffing a detail, you
would think this is a new car. This car is so nice, I had originally wanted to
keep the car for myself and drive it, but due to my lifestyle I have found that
it is just sitting here wasting away in my garage, just like it did at my
grandmother’s house. This is the only reason I am looking at selling this car. Once I took
possession of the car I found there were several issues I needed to address which
are normal for cars which have been sitting for a long period of time. I have
replaced the brakes and rebuilt the calipers on all 4 wheels, replaced the
muffler and master cylinder. I have also changed the oil and the transmission
fluid. I also found the original tires from 1992 were still on the car and
needed to be replaced just due to age. At that point I decide I wanted to have
larger and wider tires on the car, so I ordered a set of later model 16”
aluminum wheels and purchased new tires for those wheels. I have kept the
original 15” steel wheels and covers just in case someone wanted them which are
in the trunk. When I got the 16” wheels 2 of the center caps were missing and I
have not replaced them yet. They are easy to find and can be had new online for
about $20.00 each. This car
runs great and I would feel safe driving it anywhere. The air conditioning
blows cold air and is working very well. That being said, I feel I need to
discuss the transmission and its condition. Though I have not driven the car
very much, I have felt the transmission slip a little on the highway while in
overdrive. I have not noticed any slipping while in drive just driving around
town and not on the highway at high speeds. I have taken the car to a reputable
mechanic who made a complete inspection. Because he removed the pan he again
replaced the transmission fluid with new and test drove the car. Once he was
done he said that he didn’t believe anything could really be wrong with the
transmission other than it just needed to be driven. He said once the car had someone driving it
every day it would more than likely stop slipping at all, and with just 22,000
miles on it there should be nothing internal causing it other than something
sticking due to not being driven. By bidding
on this car you agree to pick it up and pay in full with cash money within 2
weeks of the end of the sale. If you have any questions please feel free to ask
and I will answer as quickly as possible. |

Mustang, Camaro, Challenger gallop onto USPS pony car postage stamp set
Tue, Jul 19 2022Some of America's most iconic cars are about to be immortalized on postage stamps. A new set by the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the the golden era of pony cars, featuring five classic examples of Detroit iron. Each one is beautifully illustrated in oil-on-canvas style, with subjects in motion and sunlight glinting off the chrome, and would add a nice touch to any first-class letter. The pony car segment was all about (relatively) small, sporty alternatives to the full-size land yachts of the 1960s. They typically came equipped with 6-cylinder engines or small-block V8s. The category was named after the Ford Mustang, hence the name. Some, though, argue that the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched a couple of weeks before the Mustang, is the first. Luckily, the Falcon-based Mustang's distinct styling generated a sales sensation, or we might be calling them fish cars. Appropriately, one of the featured cars is a Mustang. But it's not just any Mustang. The 1969 Boss 302, seen here resplendent in Bright Yellow, was created for the hotly-contested SCCA Trans-Am racing series. One of its main rivals would have been the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28, also created specifically for the series, and is included in the set in Fathom Green. Representing Auburn Hills in the set is a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Plum Crazy, while Southfield's American Motors gets a nod with an AMC Javelin in Big Bad Orange. The Mustang's platform cousin, a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7, is portrayed in a gorgeous Burgundy Poly that almost looks incomplete without Neko Case on the hood. It's not the first time the USPS has honored America's rich car culture on its stamps. In 2013, it issues a series of muscle car stamps with the help of Richard Petty. That set featured a 1966 Pontiac GTO, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1970 Chevelle SS, 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda and, of course, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Another set in 2016 featured classic pickup trucks. Going further back, a 2008 release had chroed and finned automobiles of the 1950s and a 2005 release featured sporty American cars of the same era. The pony car stamps will debut on August 25 at the Great American Stamp Show in Sacramento, California in partnership with the American Philatelic Society. The public is free to attend the dedication ceremony, but you must RSVP first. After that, they will be available at local post offices and on line at the USPS store.
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?
Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
