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.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

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 Â– also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past Â– 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.
