'88 Mercury Colony Park 8 Pass Station Wagon - Ford 5.0l - Loaded - Great Driver on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
|
Here's a really nice original Mercury Grand Marquis wagon, a 1988 Colony Park. The paint is all original and still looks good for its age. There's a few chips, small dings, etc - ok for a driver. No rust anywhere, top or bottom. Wood grain is all original and intact, again, some little nicks and chips here and there. Good glass, good bumpers. Tires have under 1000 miles on them. I mainly drive this car around town but have taken several road trips as well, it's a very comfortable and quiet ride! The car runs and drives great, turn the key and go anywhere, the car has never given me a lick of trouble. The venerable Ford 5.0 liter runs smooth and runs strong. Great car on the freeway with power to spare for passing, when the tranny kicks down it will surprise you! No smoke and no leaks, no problems.
Very nice interior, everything works correctly with no glitches. Power windows and locks all work great, good heater and fan, can't vouch for the AC this time of year but the compressor clicks on like it should. Seats are in great shape and have no rips or tears, headliner is tight, carpet is good and the wagon has no bad odors. No-one has smoked in this wagon, the ashtrays and lighters are unused. The pop-up seats in the rear turn this into an 8 passenger vehicle. Last of the breed! The classic RWD American station wagon. This Mercury is selling at No Reserve, the high bidder is the winning bidder. Please ask questions before bidding and be ready to buy if you're the high bidder, let's no waste either one's time. $500 deposit via paypal within 24hrs and balance due within one week. I can help with shipping arrangements. Thanks for looking, email with any questions.

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."

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The 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.
