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!

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.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.

Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
