This classic Mercury is guaranteed to have less than 100,000 original miles, although the odometer recently stopped functioning.  The car was purchased new in Cape Charles, Virginia by the original owners and has remained in their family until I purchased it from their son, who is a personal friend and drove it for a short time before selling to me while settling his late parent's estate.  This car truly is a rare gem.

LS Trim includes the beautiful burgundy leather seats which can be seen in the pictures and are in near-perfect condition.  All leather has been cleaned and conditioned and will last for many years to come.  The interior is perfect with the exception of a few stains on the carpets.  The headliner is totally intact and in perfect condition.  (see pictures)  The dash board, doors and all trim and interior/exterior lights are intact and in working order.  The electric radio antennae mast works perfectly and the AM/FM radio is in "as new" excellent working condition.  All speakers function perfectly with no distortion.  The original owner's manual is in the glove box.  This car was never abused in any way and literally was driven by a retired couple its entire life.

The shiny black exterior is rock solid and all the original paint is intact with no bubbling or rust.  I have been under the car and all panels are solid and rust-free.  The car has never been driven on salt treated roads and spent its entire life south of the Mason Dixon.  There are some minor surface scratches but all the sheet metal is strait and there are no dents, cracks or missing moldings or exterior trim.

Known items that do not currently work:

  • The rear electric window regulators are not engaging.  I had the driver's side front window regulator replaced in December, 2013 and both front electric windows function fine.
  • All electric seat functions are in working order for both drive and passenger front split bench seats.
  • The A/C needs recharging but heat, defroster, etc. are working like new.
  • The "air bag" dummy light is flashing.  I'm not sure what is causing this.  Could be a bad sensor.  The airbags have never been deployed.  This car has incredibly straight sheet metal and has never been damaged in any way.
  • The engine fires up immediately and runs smoothly.  A new battery has just been installed.  The car hesitates briefly when cold but runs smooth as silk when warmed up.
  • The steering is tight and I just had the outer steering control arms replaced.  All other steering and suspension components were checked out and are fine.
  • The serpentine engine belt was replaced and all other belts checked out fine.
  • All brake linings were inspected and are like new.  
  • All four electric door locks are functioning fine.
  • The button cap for the electric fuel door opener is missing but the fuel door can be manually operated with no problem.
  • The electric trunk release is working fine.
  • The exhaust system is solid and quiet and has passed inspection.

This car will provide comfortable and reliable transportation for years to come, or will be an excellent addition to a classic collection.  The Grand Marquis is the upmarket equivalent of the Ford Crown Victoria and there are still thousands of these cars on the American road.  New and used parts are plentiful and easily accessible if needed.  My father has owned three Crown Vic's and has always boasted of 25-27 mpg on the highway and 20+ mpg overall with this V8 engine.  Ride and comfort is remarkably smooth.

The car can be seen and test driven by appointment in Salisbury, MD.

 Hello Bidders:  Thank you for your interest in this car.  The minimum is set at $1,950 and this car is worth much more.  It is a steal at this price and if the minimum is not reached on this auction the car will be kept, and not be relisted as this is the second attempt.  Thanks for your interest.  Now you know what it will take to buy it!

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek

Fri, Jan 29 2016

Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.

Icon and Stealth EV are building an electric Derelict Mercury

Mon, May 14 2018

Icon, a company known for its high-quality restomod vehicles, is building another Derelict, this one a 1949 Mercury coupe. While the fact Icon is building another one of its sleeper hot rods with patina isn't the most shocking, what's under the hood is. The company has teamed up with Stealth EV to turn this latest Derelict into an electric car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car was shown in the above Twitter post with video. The exterior is just what you'd expect from an Icon Derelict. It's solid but with a weathered finish. And even as the guy from Stealth EV approaches the car, it looks like it has a V8 under the hood. But as he explains, there's actually the two motor controllers and half of a Tesla battery pack under there. It's just that they've all been given some classy looking metal casings and mounted to look like a V8. Apparently the motors themselves are in the transmission tunnel. The Stealth EV rep says it uses a pair of AM Racing motors. Depending on which motor controllers the companies are using, those motors could produce as much as 700 horsepower. Power will go to the rear wheels and no transmission will be used, making it direct drive. It will have a limited-slip differential, and the whole car sits on an Art Morrison chassis with independent suspension. This actually isn't the first electric Icon, nor the first developed with Stealth EV. Before this, the companies created a totally awesome electric Volkswagen Thing. That little truck made much less power at 180 horses, but it was also a way smaller and lighter vehicle. Related Video:
