You know how everyone says "You won't find a nicer Marquis for this year!" ? well, this one comes very close!
It's not perfect, but it's an original survivor! This car came to me in the spring of this year, and I am the second owner of this 16 year old classic!
It was owned and driven by a little old lady until I purchased it in April when it had only 29,*** miles!
It sounds like a typical story, but it's so true...I have the Carfax to prove it!
Because it was a "little old lady car", most of it's life was spent sitting in a garage, resulting in little to no fading of the carpet or headlight covers...
...and even the paint shines almost as if new!
Here's what I did immediately after bringing her home...It was inspected, oil n filter, and the serpentine belt was changed.
No reason for the belt to be changed other than the fact that it was the original belt and I didn't want to go on a long drive and be stranded.
Then shortly after that, I brought it in for a computer scan because a light came on in the dash...it showed the ERG sensor was bad. Since the car sat for long periods of time in between driving, and also since it was driven by an older person, it probably didn't get to go long distances, and the injectors were getting clogged. The injectors were cleaned and a new sensor put in, and while it was there, I had them replace the high beams with Sylvania Ultra Bright headlights...and they are a whiter light than the normal lights that were in there.
Now that I got all the "bugs" out, I am going to let it go to someone who can pamper it and enjoy it for many years to come...besides, my Mustang is on the way soon!!! :)
Seriously, it is!!!
OK, here we go...The interior is near mint, no rips or tears, good carpet, (all floormats too!), as expected from a car with such low milage.
It has power windows and mirrors, drivers seat is power, passenger manual.
Cruise, tilt, intermittent wipers, A/C is as cold as they come, windows roll up and down without hesitation, all seatbelts are intact and working...I'm telling you, the car is like new!
(The cassette deck doesn't play...I haven't figured out why, but it didn't matter since I don't have cassettes anyway!)
The AM-FM works fine and so does the digital clock. As for the Park Lane trim package...dealers back in those days, sold mostly LS models first and the GS models usually had to be given more of an incentive to entice the buyer...so they put special packages on them. This one got the limo treatment with side coach lights, a canvass top, known as the carriage roof, and leather interior...something the normal GS model didn't have...it wasn't an option as far as I understand.
As for the car mechanically, it is sound and can be driven anywhere at any time. It gets good gas milage too, averaging between 17 city and 25 on the highway, depending on your driving habits and road conditions. The battery is new, and the brakes, tires and exhaust are good.
It also comes with the original window sticker!
It has the classic huge trunk, clean, space saver spare and original jack.
As for the body, there are normal parking lot dings and there is a spot under the front bumper with yellow paint scratched in that obviously says the lady hit a high curb or sidewalk with it.
There is one minor flaw in the right rear wheel well, some surface rust starting where dirt gets stuck in...a manufacturing design flaw...but the remedy to that is keep the car clean and it won't continue to rust! :)
I have been honest about everything about the car, but if I left any question unanswered, please feel free to ask...but please do it before the auction ends.
I have the car listed on C***slist and it's also out in front with a for sale sign on it, so if I am offerred the price I am looking for, I will reserve my right to end the auction early.
I can't force you to buy this car, but if it's a '97 Marquis you're looking for, don't hesitate to buy this one!
PLEASE NOTE...if you need it shipped, you have to work that out yourself, I am not a dealer, therefore I do not have connections.
God bless

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar
Thu, Feb 25 2021We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste. When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled. Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes. "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass. Related Video:
