For Sale is My 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis.  I have done most of the work on the vehicle myself.  I'm pretty handy, especially with a Haynes Manual (which I will include) and YouTube. I have replaces the: Intake Manifold, all four shock absorbers, plugs and wires 6mo ago, thermostat, main upper radiator hose, Serpentine belt, alternator, and all the normal maintenance parts due to wear and tear.  This has been my daily driver since I purchased it used in 2007 or so.  I have taken decent mechanical care of it as shown by the 23 MPG's avg. I am currently enjoying. It is now parked waiting for it's next owner.  I have a new job 90 miles round trip from my home and I need better gas mileage.  So this car must go.  Take a look at the pictures and see it is in pretty good shape for an 18 year old car.  The defects are as follows:  broken front left marker light, small puncture in left rear bumper and left rear tail light. anti-lock brakes need work but brakes work fine, needs front ball joint boot, one rooter needs to be replaced (slightly warped, can't tell until hard breaking), A/C needs modulator, leather seats have tears, headliner tears. needs two window motors (front and rear drivers side).  All minor repairs for someone with a little know how.  The A/C modulator is a $70 item but the labor for a mechanic is $600.  The dash has to be partially removed.  I don't want to do this for a car I'm going to sell.  It would take me a day to do it (this included breaks to eat take tv breaks and play with my daughter and dog).  Good luck and feel free to message me with any questions...

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:

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
