Mercury Grand Marquis on 2040-cars
Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
|
This vehicle was purchased from an estate with 89K miles on it. I have driven it aprox. 4K miles maintenance free. I have traveled in it to NC, WVA and GA and have had no issues with it. This car is loaded to the gills and has been owned by an elderly couple, he died in 2010 and it was placed in her name. The A/C is climate control and will freeze you out. One of the issues I have seen with the car is the fact they never used the windows and the armatures are rust covered and you have to assist them just a bit. Once worked for awhile im sure they will be fine. The window regulator on the drivers window I believe is bad. This is a pretty car with very minimal wear on it, paint is in great shape, trunk deck has some tree sap on it but I have most of that off. The tires are new and a full size spare, with steel wheel. The wheels on the car are aluminum and in good shape. This has been a non smoking car. Carpet good with what looks to be still the original floor mats. s vehicle has a complete digital cluster in it, all in working order. Every now and then the alt light will come on and then goes off in about 3 min. I have had battery and alt checked out and no problems. This vehicle has P/S P/B P/WIN PWR SEATS, DRIVER AND PASSENGER,PWR/MIRRORS REAR WIND DEF PWR DOOR LOCKS LEATHER SEATS FRONT AND BACK 60/40 IN FRONT WITH ARM REST FULL CARPET WITH SOUND BARRIER A/C WITH CLIMATE CONTROL ALL IN WORKING ORDER Cruise control While driving this vehicle the cluster stated it was getting 31 MPG , when I filled it up it was 30 MPG on the road, never checked in town fuel mileage. This would make a good primary car, or a good car for the kids or wife, most kids refuse to drive a boat this size so I have purchase a older cavalier for my daughter, now she is happy and im hung with a car I don't need. Located in Northern Florida, I would drive this car anywhere in the US. 500.00 deposit required with in 24 hrs. of being awarded the bid. Vehicle is being advertised locally, auction can be ended at sellers choice. |

Car Stories: Owning the SHO station wagon that could've been
Fri, Oct 30 2015A little over a year ago, I bought what could be the most interesting car I will ever own. It was a 1987 Mercury Sable LS station wagon. Don't worry – there's much more to this story. I've always had a soft spot for wagons, and I still remember just how revolutionary the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable were back in the mid-1980s. As a teenager, I fell especially hard for the 220-horsepower 1989 Ford Taurus SHO – so much so that I'd go on to own a dozen over the next 20 years. And like many other quirky enthusiasts, I always wondered what a SHO station wagon would be like. That changed last year when I bought the aforementioned Sable LS wagon, festooned with the high-revving DOHC 3.0-liter V6 engine and five-speed manual transmission from a 1989 Taurus SHO. In addition, the wagon had SHO front seats, a SHO center console, and the 140-mph instrument cluster with mileage that matched the engine. When I bought it, that number was just under 60,000 – barely broken in for the overachieving Yamaha-sourced mill. The engine and transmission weren't the only upgrades. It wore dual-piston PBR brakes with the choice Eibach/Tokico suspension combo in front. The rear featured SHO disc brakes with MOOG cargo coils and Tokico shocks, resulting in a wagon that handled ridiculously well while still retaining a decent level of comfort and five-door functionality. I could attack the local switchbacks while rowing gears to a 7,000-rpm soundtrack just as easily as loading up on lumber at the hardware store. Over time I added a front tower brace to stiffen things a bit as well as a bigger, 73-mm mass airflow sensor for better breathing, and I sourced some inexpensive 2004 Taurus 16-inch five-spoke wheels, refinished in gunmetal to match the two-tone white/gunmetal finish on the car. That, along with some minor paint and body work, had me winning trophies at every car show in town. And yet, what I loved most about the car wasn't its looks or performance, but rather its history. And here's where things also get a little philosophical, because I absolutely, positively love old used cars. Don't get me wrong – new cars are great. Designers can sculpt a timeless automotive shape, and engineers can construct systems and subsystems to create an exquisite chassis with superb handling and plenty of horsepower. But it's the age and mileage that turn machines into something more than the sum of their parts.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway
Tue, Oct 27 2015The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below. Related Video:
