1971 Mercury Capri Base 1.6l on 2040-cars
Galloway, Ohio, United States
|
1971 Mercury Capri with 30,000 miles, This car spent the last 40+ years in Pensacola , Fl, with its original owner prior to my
acquisition in March 2014. It is my
understanding that it was stored in a carport in partial sun and this caused
some interior damage although serviceable and not bad for 43 years, all of the
paint is original and shows no sign of ever having any bodywork. Destroyed carpet was removed to show the rust
free flooring. The rear D-windows have been upgraded to the drilled glass from
a newer model keeping the windows from leaving the vehicle at high speeds. This
is still the best Capri I have seen in the East in more than 20 years. The car
has several rust spots in very accessible areas including the trunk lid. It has
removable surface rust over many body panels but has virtually no rust in the
following hard to repair areas: A and B pillars, trunk, under hood, floor pan,
battery tray, hood, spring attachment areas and inner wheel wells. This is the most solid and complete car I have
found with all of its trim, great bumpers with near perfect bumper guards. The
car currently has a clear Ohio title. The car has not been registered since
2012 and I suspect it set many years before being bought out for one season
(grandson?). A tach and radio are installed in the passenger side under-dash
compartment. The car is complete and original
with nearly everything. Will provide
specific pictures of any desired body location. The condition of the engine
and std tranny are unknown although complete. Only serious bidders, must
provide $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end and full balance due within
7 days. Winner is responsible for shipping and transportation. |

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."
