I AM HOPING TO SELL THIS CAR THIS WEEK. I AM MOVING IN WITH MY GIRLFRIEND AND I'M TRYING TO CUT DOWN ON ALL MY TOYS FOR HER SAKE. SO PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INFO IN THIS LISTING. NOTHING IS KEPT SECRET AND ALL THE DETAILS / PICS/ VIDEOS ON THIS CAR ARE INCLUDED HERE. READ IT ALL AND WE CAN MAKE A DEAL.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THOUGH, I AM NOT IN ANY WAY DESPERATE TO SELL THIS CAR. IN 2006 I WAS OFFERED 16,000 CASH FOR IT, BEFORE IT HAD ANY COSMETIC DAMAGE, AND I BACKED OUT. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 11 YEARS, AND I CAN HOLD ON TO IT FOR ANOTHER 11 IF IT MEANS IDIOTS TRYING TO LOW-BALL ME. I KNOW WHAT THIS CAR IS, AND I KNOW WHAT IT'S WORTH. MARTI REPORT IS SHOWN BELOW, AND ALSO THE BOOK VALUE. I'M SELLING IT WAY UNDER BOOK VALUE. I'VE OWNED DOZENS OF CLASSIC CARS IN MY DAY. I KNOW WHAT THEY SELL FOR AND I KNOW WHAT THEY'RE WORTH, BOOK VALUE OR NOT... WITH THAT SAID, PLEASE NOTE, THAT THE LISTING PRICE IS JUST THE LISTING PRICE- I DO HAVE A RESERVE ON THIS CAR THAT IS NOT FAR FROM THE LISTING PRICE, BUT I DEFINITELY INTEND ON WALKING AWAY WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT BEFORE THE EBAY MAFIA DIGS INTO MY POCKET OFF THIS SALE... SO, IF YOU ARE GENUINELY INTERESTED, PLEASE SPEAK UP, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO SELL THIS CAR THIS WEEK, TO SOMEONE REASONABLE AND INTELLIGENT. IF YOU'RE A LOW-BALL MORON WITH NO BRAINS, COMMON SENSE, OR TACT, PLEASE STOP READING, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN SELLING YOU MY CAR. I CAN GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE FOR 1800, THAT YOU CAN PLAY WITH ON WEEKENDS. THIS ONE, YOU PUT THE KEY IN AND DRIVE ANYWHERE IN THE U.S. THE VIDEO BELOW WILL PROVE THAT, SO IT WILL NOT LEAVE MY HANDS FOR LESS THAN 8500.00 UNLESS YOU MANAGE TO CONVINCE ME WITH A GOOD STORY OF WHY I SHOULD SHAVE OFF A FEW BUCKS. IM AN INTELLIGENT, VERY SUCCESSFUL YOUNG ADULT MALE. I'M DEFINITELY NOT STRUGGLING FOR THE CASH, MY CHECKING ACOUNT THAT I USE EVERY DAY HAS 3X THE LISTING PRICE IN IT, ON A MONTHLY BASIS. I DON'T NEED THE MONEY AT ALL, I'M SELLING IT FOR THE ROOM IN MY LIFE THAT I NEED TO MAKE FOR SOMETHING I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT. I CAN LIVE WITHOUT THIS CAR RIGHT NOW. This is an ORIGINAL Authentic SACRAMENTO California Car with A CLEAN TITLE, and the original Ford Auto Works Marti Report, confirming the rarity of this particular car. That interior for instance, is possibly the ONLY documented ORIGINAL leather interior that came with the car, and it is nearly intact, and would probably cost well into the thousands to try and replicate - IF that is, you can find CONVERTIBLE seating frames somewhere. The interior for these cars is IMPOSSIBLE to find, and this one you will not find in another car. The Marti report confirms that this is the actual interior that came with this car. I will include a photo of this, and also video clip of ANOTHER car, of this same exact make, that exists somewhere.
Along with the Marti report, I have the original CA title to the car, it is currently registered, insured, indoor garaged, and I drive it often. Most of the receipts of work, repair, or upgrades done to this car are in my possession. I have owned the car for just about 11 years The following are additions/upgrades I have made on the car: * Power Top Motor * New white vinyl top with GLASS window (replaced several years ago) * Flowmaster "Delta Flow" series dual exhaust muffler and pipes * Ford Motorcraft aftermarket 2v carburetor * New alternator * ALL belts: (done this summer) * Radiator * Power steering gear box * Power steering reservoir (TWICE) * SHOCKS (done this Oct 2013) Monroe air shocks (rear) KYB Excel-G shocks (front) -shown in photos and VIDEO clip- * BRAKES (front AND rears, pads AND rotors - ceramic street race kit) * Ignition coil * LEAF SPRINGS (this is a VERY costly and LABORIOUS repair!) * Ignition * New radio and interior color code matching speakers (radio is a few years old, but is ipod and satellite radio equipped) * "Bullet-style" door locks * New windshield wipers * New windshield washer box * New fuel line hoses * The tires are new, but there is wear to the sidewalls of the rear tires. * New 800cca performance battery * New rear view mirror * Replacement Ford "houndstooth" pattern trunk mat * Recent tune up * There was 1700.00 worth of front end work, and more additions I can't think of at the moment. * Oil Change JUNE 2 2014 * STEAM CLEAN PROCESS BEGUN JUNE 2 2014 Nearly EVERYTHING on this car is new, except for the engine itself, the carpet and the steel floors of the car. Some things I left as is, as it came with the car. I haven't gone too crazy under the hood, except for maintenance as needed, so all of the engine components like the air cleaner, valve covers, etc, I haven't done up all pretty. They're the stock ones that came with the car for the most part. It is a turn-key daily driver, that looks like it could be in a car show from 15 feet away EASILY when the top is down. The pictures will show that. This car has been featured by well known musicians in several music videos for its stylish appearance and uniqueness. It's definitely a celebrity looking car. I I have provided a 45 (yes FORTY FIVE) minute video of the car's performance, from the point I open the door, turn the ignition, and drive out of a garage in Westchester, and park outside of a gallery in Chelsea Manhattan to go around the car and show you the outside of the car. The video clip is a simulated ride of how the car performs: no strange noises, (JUST MOTOR and EXHAUST!), no overheating, or warning signals, no stalling. I would watch ALL of the 45 minute video. The camera is on the gauges the entire time, except for when I show the convertible power top coming down with no problem. At the end, I show the newly installed shocks and the exhaust purring. So, if you would like proof in advance of how this car runs, and that it WORKS, you have about 45 minutes of footage, and the Youtube info shows you WHEN it was uploaded. It has not been driven much since then. I am the third owner of this car. . . This car has been PAMPERED, garaged indoors for seven years, and "toured" all over New York City. It has been driven from San Francisco, where it was bought, to Los Angeles, trailored from Los Angeles to New York City, driven up and down the North East coast with NO PROBLEMS. It has NEVER broken down on me. That interior is almost in mint condition, with exception to the drivers seat, because I drive the car alot, but never carry passengers. There are a few areas of cosmetic imperfection, and there is a small area in the rear floor that needs patching up, to make the car floors 100% defect-free. The carpet is worn down, and is probably not the original, but it's the one that came with the car when I bought it. The paint is also not original. It was painted over, before I owned it, and the ORIGINAL color is shown, in the photos with the interior, taken at night. It was painted midnight blue, to match the famous color code of the Ford Mustangs that were made in this color code (dark blue with baby blue and white seating etc). There IS rust in the trunk but no holes rotted through. I have added pictures of this. THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK: *The driver's side seat belt gets stuck every now and then, I accidentally busted the housing of it. *The center console lid is off. *The AC/Heat system needs Fre-On. It has not been used since I bought the car in California (didn't need the AC there OR the heat). *The oil gauge and the "amps" gauge does not work. *The small two rear quarter windows do not roll down. (Those use a motor different from the mail power window motor and they are IMPOSSIBLE to find.) *The cigarette lighter doesn't work. *The hazard lights need to be changed. These are VERY minor things that don't interfere with the performance of the car, and it still turns heads no matter what. If you would like to make an appointment to see the car, please leave all your info and I can bring the car to you at some point. It drives like a dream. I really suggest you look at this video below: Below, is another example of my exact car, in the original color code the one I'm selling was painted over in. These color codes DO exist, despite people thinking this is a "custom" interior job- NO. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR AND THEREFORE VALUABLE AND RARE. This car is worth ALOT of money. MARTI REPORT SAYS ONE OUT OF 176. One out of TWO that I've seen in existence. Here is the second one: (that second one, in the youtube video above is NOT available though. It is LONG gone. Don't miss out on THIS one). STEAM CLEAN PROCESS, TO SHINE THE UNDRENEATH |

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri XR2
Mon, Jun 5 2023Just a year after the Mazda MX-5 Miata first went on sale in the United States, Ford's Mercury Division began selling a similarly-priced two-seat convertible here. This was the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, and I've found an example of the hot-rod turbocharged version in a northeastern Colorado car graveyard. The Capri name has an illustrious history within the Ford Empire. First used on a Lincoln in 1952, it went on to serve as the name for a hardtop version of the early-1960s Ford Consul in the UK, then as the designation for a low-end trim level on the 1966-1967 Mercury Comet. Starting in the 1969 model year in Europe (1970 in North America), Ford began selling the best-known Capri of all: a sporty coupe based on the Cortina, sold through Mercury dealers in the United States but never badged as a Mercury here. Sales of that Capri halted here after 1978 (they continued through 1986 in Europe), but the Mercury Division then moved the name over to its version of the 1979-1986 Ford Mustang. After that, Ford Australia took the Capri name for a new Mazda 323-based sports car beginning in 1989. Then Dearborn decided that an Americanized version of the Australian Capri would be a success on this side of the Pacific, and left-hand-drive Capris began showing up in American Mercury showrooms in late 1990. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those first-model-year cars, and it's the very rare turbocharged XR2 version. While this car was intended to be a competitor for the Miata, it's really that car's Mazda cousin. Both cars got their power from 1.6-liter versions of Mazda's versatile B engine, though the Capri had the same front-wheel-drive setup as its 323/Protege (and Escort/Tracer) platform siblings. At the same time, Ford was selling Kia-built Mazdas with Festiva (and, a bit later, Aspire) badging, alongside Mazda MX-6s with Probe badges. Just to make things interesting, American Mazda dealers were selling Ford Explorers as Mazda Navajos, while Rangers with Mazda badges followed starting in 1994. The 1990s were Mazda-riffic times at Ford! This car wasn't the first Australian-designed, Mazda-based Ford product sold in the United States. That honor belongs to the 1988-1989 Mercury Tracer, which was based on the same Mazda 323 platform as the Capri and built in Mexico. Later on, the Tracer remained a member of the 323 chassis family but was a nearly identical twin to its Ford Escort sibling.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

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:
