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.

Junkyard Gem: 1993 Mercury Topaz GS Sedan

Sat, Aug 13 2022

As long as the Mercury brand existed — a period spanning the 1939 through 2011 model years — nearly every Mercury sold in the United States was more or less a redecorated Ford model. The Torino had its Montego sibling, the Crown Victoria had the Grand Marquis, the Cougar was based on everything from the Mustang to the Mondeo, and so on. Naturally, when the folks in Dearborn developed the Ford Tempo compact, a Mercury version had to be created. This was the Topaz, with the official launch of both cars taking place on the deck of the aircraft carrier often referred to as the USS Decrepit. You can't make this stuff up! The Tempo/Topaz, also known as the Tempaz, has largely faded from our collective automotive memory by now, since it broke no significant new engineering or styling ground (this story would be much different if Ford had only put the amazing straight-eight "T-Drive" Tempaz powertrain into production) and didn't have any endearing features other than being a cheap domestic competitor to the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra. Still, close to 3 million Tempazes left North American Ford and Lincoln-Mercury showrooms during the 1984-1994 period. As you'd expect, most of these disposable cars disappeared from both the street and the car graveyard long ago. It takes a very special Tempaz for me to break out my camera while I'm patrolling my local wrecking yards; generally, this means an ultra-rare all-wheel-drive version or at least a very early model in super-clean condition. Today's Junkyard Gem is neither, but I took one look at this spectacular Bordello Red crypto-velour-and-slippery-plastic interior and recognized that this was no ordinary junkyard Mercury. It appears that Mercury had dropped the idea of clever names for base-grade seat fabrics by the time of the Topaz, referring to this stuff as just "cloth" in all the brochures I could find. That's too bad, because Mercurys had cool names for upholstery (e.g., Chromatex) in the old days. The interior is in very good condition but the steering wheel shows substantial wear, so I think this is a high-mile Topaz that got meticulous care from its owner or owners. Ford used five-digit odometers on these cars until the end of production, however, so we'll never know if this reading indicates 65,404 miles or 365,404 miles. The body is very straight, but there's some nasty corrosion behind the right front wheelwell.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway

Tue, Oct 27 2015

The 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:
