1993 Mercury Grand Marquis Ls Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Salisbury, Maryland, United States
|
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:
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. On Mar-05-14 at 06:54:03 PST, seller added the following information: 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! |

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
Junkyard Gem: 1981 Mercury Cougar XR-7
Sun, May 24 2020The story of the Mercury Cougar involves more plot twists and unexpected digressions than that of just about any other Detroit car, with successive Cougar generations based on the Ford Mustang (1967-1973), the Ford Torino and/or Thunderbird (1974-1979), various Fox Fords including the Thunderbird (1980-1988), the MN12 Thunderbird/Lincoln Mark VIII (1989-1997), and the Ford Mondeo (1999-2002). There were wagon and sedan Cougars for brief periods, just to confuse everybody, and the rakish XR-7 Cougars sometimes lived on different platforms from their ordinary non-XR-7 counterparts. I think the Late Malaise Era Fox XR-7s are among the most interesting of the bunch, so I was quite excited to spot this tan-over-gold '81 in a Denver yard. I tried to count the number of screaming-cat badges on and in this car and gave up once I hit a dozen. The steering wheel, door panels, C pillars, center console, and — of course — the hood ornament all boast snarling felines. Earlier Cougars had emblems showing full side views of stalking catamounts, but the Cougar logo for the 1980s showed just the head. This car got the optional center console, which I hear is quite a rarity. You had to pay $174 extra (that's around $513 in 2020 dollars) for an AM/FM/cassette audio system in the '81 Cougar, but at least the air conditioning was standard equipment. Believe it or not, thieves used to steal these radios. Kumpf Lincoln-Mercury still exists in Englewood (as Landmark Lincoln), and the yard that now houses this car can be found just 15 miles up Broadway on the north side of Denver. The padded landau roof hasn't fared so well beneath the fierce Colorado sun, but overall this car seems very solid. Sadly, only the Mustangs and (once in a long while) Fairmonts get much love from the Fox Ford crowd these days. Three Mercury "wire wheel" hubcaps and one from a Lincoln. The base engine in the 1981 XR-7 was the "Thriftmaster" 200-cubic-inch (3.3-liter) straight-six, but very few XR-7 buyers would have refrained from checking the box for one of the two optional Windsor V8s. I can't tell if we're looking at the 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter) version or the 302-cubic-inch (5.0-liter) one here, but real-world drivers might not have noticed the difference between the 120-horse 255 and the 130-horse 302, anyway. The non-XR-7 Fox Cougars had five-speed manual transmissions as base equipment (which nobody wanted), but all 1981 XR-7s had automatics.
Junkyard Gem: 1977 Mercury Bobcat
Tue, Sep 4 2018Cultural memory of the Ford Pinto, 38 years after the last new ones were sold, boils down to one thing today: the notorious "exploding Pinto" stories of the late 1970s. Yes, many Pinto jokes were told, the resale value of Pintos crashed, and few paid any attention to the fact that most of the cars sold with the fuel tank between the rear axle and the bumper — that is, just about every Detroit car made during the era — suffered from the same weakness. The Mercury version of the Pinto was badged as the Bobcat, but nobody told Bobcat jokes. Here's a '77 Mercury Bobcat 3-Door in vivid Medium Jade paint, spotted in a Denver self-service yard. The Pinto with glass rear hatch was known as the Pinto Runabout in 1977, while Mercury called this car the " Bobcat 3-door with Glass Third Door." When a car sits for years or decades in High Plains Colorado, rodents tend to nest in it. This Bobcat's air cleaner made a cozy home for our Hantavirus-carrying friends. The 1970s were the last gasp for eye-searingly green vinyl car interiors. Since the Bobcat was a luxed-up Pinto, the door panels have shinier trim than what you'd have had in a proletariat-grade Pinto. Pinto/Bobcat transmission choices boiled down to two: a four-speed manual or a three-speed automatic. Unusually for a Malaise Era Mercury, this one has the manual. Most Pintos and Bobcats came with four-cylinder engines, ranging from the 1.6-liter pushrod Kent to the 2.3-liter engine that lived on for many post-Pinto years in Ford Rangers. This car has the 2.3, rated at 89 horsepower, but the same 2.8-liter Cologne V6 that powered the Capri was available as an option in the Bobcat. That engine made a mighty 93 horsepower. These cars were not too miserable to drive by econobox standards of their time, at least when they had three pedals. You'd blow the doors off a '77 Corolla with a 4-speed Bobcat in a drag race, though the Corolla got better fuel economy. This content is hosted by a third party.
