Only 56,000 original miles!!!!  It looks like a car with only 56k and drives like a car with only 56k!!!  I have a Carfax to prove it and you can look at the enclosed Autocheck report too.

Very good looking car in very good running condition.

Yes, this car starts runs and drives great. 

Mechanics:  Motor and transmission are very good.    

Exterior:  Paint and tires are in very good condition.  Paint is faded in a few spots near the roof, but very good overall.  There is a very minor dent in drivers' door that's barely noticeable (see photo).  I'm not sure you'd even notice it if you didn't know it was there.

Interior:  In very good shape.  Front seats are covered, but look very good underneath too.  Rear / backseat power windows are closed, but don't go down - likely a simple fix.  Headliner is missing.  Car has a 3rd row seat that folds flat and a hideaway picnic table in the back too (see photos).  Backseat also folds down for extra cargo room.   

Car came from NJ and the NJ inspection sticker on the windshield is valid until December 2014 (15 more months). 

Car also passed DE inspection last week and I have the "Passed" paperwork, so a DE buyer can tag / register it for 2 years in DE without needing inspection.  You could also tag it as an antique, if you'd like. 

Car has 2 needs:

1.  Although the car just passed inspection, it likely needs rear brakes.  It can still be driven carefully as is (brakes passed inspection).

2.  I've been taking the negative battery cable off at night because something is draining it - maybe an interior light or something.

Will make a nice driver with a little attention.

I've tried to detail the condition of this car as openly and as honestly as I can, but I may of course missed minor details and / or minor imperfections. 

As with any used car, the car is for sale as-is.

If you have any questions, please ask me.  I want you to feel comfortable with your bid / purchase.

I require a $100 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of auction's close.  The balance is due within 7 days, cash in-person.  Car is to be picked up within 14 days of auction's close.  If you need more time to pickup the car, once paid, I can likely store it for you for longer for a monthly fee - please contact me if you need to make those arrangements.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.

Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?

Sun, May 22 2016

These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions.
