2004 Mercury Marauder Trilogy Motorsports Supercharged. Here's your chance to own a fine example of a modern muscle car! A rare model to begin with, only sold for 2003-04 with around 2500 Marauders made in 2004. Then add the Trilogy Motorsports supercharger which only 250 were made. This car is kit # 166. The Mercury Marauder starts basically as a Police Interceptor undercarriage with the heavy duty brakes, suspension, transmission, and fluid coolers. Then add the 4V 4.6 liter Mustang engine from the Mach 1 Mustangs of the same year. Wrap all of that in a gorgeous black Mercury body and Voila! Modern Muscle at its finest. This one has been stored in a heated garage and taken out on weekend cruises and the occasional roadtrip. With less than 50,000 miles, that averages to 5,000 miles a year. Hardly high usage. This example has been adult owned and driven by a meticulous aircraft mechanic. Regular service and care was completed as needed. The interior is free of any major defects with no tears in the leather. Every switch functions as it should. There is an aftermarket Stereo unit with a Tom Tom GPS unit installed. The stock stereo will be included. Estimated around 450 horsepower to the rear wheels. Not super fast off of the line, but 40 to ??? acceleration is unbelievable. Looks so much like a police vehicle, it isn't uncommon to be mistaken for one. Fly under the radar. Will bring its new owner many years of hot rod enjoyment.

There are a few minor defects. You can refer to the pictures for a visual representation. There is a minor dent in the hood. Can be pushed out by a qualified dent removal shop. There are a couple of minor scratches on the paint with the worst on the right front fender. The right front wheel has slight curb rash. The front bumper cover has some paint "spiderwebbing" from a 10mph brush with a deer. The deer walked away! This incident did crack the front grill, so it was replaced. These are small issues that are hardly noticeable. The car looks great from 5 feet and is in great shape for being 10 yrs old. The tires are a little over 50% tread right now, but a full price offer will secure 4 new tires. Also comes with the special Mercury Marauder Black leather jacket in XL.

No warranties are expressed or implied. Buyer to arrange and pay for shipping if needed, but I can assist your carrier. Or fly in and drive it away, I would not hesitate to jump in it right now and drive coast to coast. Cash or certified funds only. Just in time for Christmas! Don't let this one get away.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill 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!

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:
