1985 Mercury Capri RS T-Top 5.0 aod 1 of 1399 ever made. RARE 64K actual miles, US $4,500.00, image 1

 This is a great car that needs some TLC. I decided to sell my winter project. It is a virgin 64K actual mile MERCURY '85 RS T-Top Capri. 1 of 1399 T-Top Capri's ever made. Break that down to tan interior cars and it's probably less than 100 left today. It's a Oklahoma rust free car it's whole life. Its a real deal 5.0 car with the auto trans. That means its the 175HP CFI fuel throttle body injected. It runs great and doesn't smoke or knock. Its completely original, short of daily maintenance items and dual exhaust. as you can see it caught a deer on left fender and small door damage but comes with two perfect rust free fenders and hood. This would be a easy father son project and would be a great teenager car as its the auto trans car. It has had a complete dual exhaust system installed with large chrome tips sounds great. These are the first cars with forged pistons so would be great to modify with performance parts. The sky's the limit with these engines as they have lots of available parts at reasonable prices. These FOX body platform cars have lots of possibilities. I would restore as its so close to original.

It does need some brake work(bleeds off when pedal is depressed but pump up quickly) and does have some fluid leaks
. It has been sitting the last five years in a storage shed. It has the typical crack in the floor these cars get. I purchased subframe connectors with floor brace that are included.We did drive it 450 miles to my house from where we purchased it in Oklahoma. I would recommend a trailer but its up to you if you wanna take the chance. When it leaves my house it's your baby.

I will assist in loading any way I can. I cannot deliver you must come get it.
I can store up to two weeks or longer if discussed at auction close. As long as it's paid in full within 72 hours of auction close. There is a $500 deposit required at auction close through PAYPAL within 24hrs of auction close.

I reserve the right to close this auction at any time for any reason without repercussion to me. This is a real car and this is a real deal and it needs to go. I just got divorced and need to free up some funds. I am a serious seller looking for a serious buyer. please call with any questions you have I can take any picture wanted and text you or email you back.

Please call Todd with serious questions @ 515-556-7730. Any question asked that is not serious or can be explained in the pics/description will not be responded to.

What do you do with a fake Bugatti Veyron for $60k?

Tue, Mar 29 2016

Replica cars are a challenging labor of love because builders spend countless hours recreating a vehicle that people immediately compare to the real thing. Perhaps, the person behind this Mercury Cougar-based Bugatti Veyron should look for another way to pass that time. The coupe is currently for sale on eBay Motors for $59,900. The builder deserves some credit because the fiberglass body looks acceptable in the photos from farther away. The car might even fool a few people from a distance. However, the devil is in the details, and the closer you look, the worse this gets. The side intakes are especially rough. The red interior is atrocious. It's essentially the Cougar's cabin but in an eye-searing shade accented with lots of fake carbon fiber. The seller's eBay Motors ad really tries to market the look, though. "You slide in to [sic] this extremely comfortable leather interior and you feel like your bank account just quadrupled in size," the listing says. Don't expect to win any top speed titles in this Veyron replica, either. Rather than a mid-mounted quad-turbo W16, a 3.0-liter V6 from a Mercury Sable sits at the front. Thanks to an upgraded intake and exhaust, the seller claims, "It doesn't sound like your grandmas [sic] Sable." We wish the seller the best of luck, but the asking price of nearly $60,000 is probably too optimistic. We would still think twice about buying it even after taking a zero off that figure, but at least this thing is fun to look at. Related Video:

Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module

Wed, Dec 23 2015

The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.

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.
