Up for sale is a ONE owner 1976 Grand Marquis with the 360 hp (268 kW) 460 big-block V8 with 71xxx miles, gold color, painted white roof (the vinyl was taken off). The car was not cleaned of washed in the last 20 years. A slight rinse with a hose just to get the dust off, that's all the prep work that was done to it. What you get is a true original. I’m selling this for a friend who bought this car NEW back in 76. He’s old and doesn’t know how to work eBay so I’m doing it for him. He was planning to keep this car forever but the building he lives in is going to close off the covered garages and make doors so this Marquis won’t fit in there because it’s too big. Sad, but it has to find a new home. Runs a drives GREAT, tires are good… it’s ready to hit the road pretty much anywhere! The car spent its life in Vancouver BC under a covered garage. Didn’t see much rain. Has some rust spots (see pictures). It was never restored, pretty much all original. It was immaculately maintained. He had the transmission serviced in 86 and they gave him free yearly service as long as he owned the car… so every year he went in and had his free oil etc. replaced. Just had a new carburetor, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap & fuel pump put in. Didn’t really need a new carb, just needed to be adjusted, but he’s one of those people that just tells the mechanic “do what needs to be done, don’t care how much it costs”. He took the AC belt off as he never used it but the belt is in the trunk. Also there are a ton of extra spare parts. He would always go to the wrecking yards and look for something he might need in the future. Like an extra grille, headlight bezels, moldings, exhaust mufflers, interior panels, 5 LIKE NEW hubcaps (he found in 1991 I can tell because they’re wrapped in news paper from that year), fuel line & oil filters, emblems, hoses, misc. nuts, bolts and gaskets, new rubber bushings, tons of bulbs & fuses of all sorts, gas caps, headlights… and who knows what else. Has a bunch of maintenance records, original manual along with the original tool case which he got with the new car! A down payment via PayPal must be made within 24 hours. Total due within 3 days after the auction ends via bank wire, US Bank, Chase money order (must clear before pickup) or cash! The car is registered and has collector plates in BC Canada and will need to be imported if sold in the USA (one simple form needs to be filled out). The car is currently parked in Blaine WA which is a block away from the Canadian border so you could import it the same day when you come to pick it up. You won't have to drive to Canada, just to the USA side of the border. You are welcome to come look and inspect it before the auction ends, after that no ifs and buts… just the cash. Buyer needs to take care of shipping. I will drive it for free up to 150 miles away from zip code 98230 to a shipping dock if needed. Grab this once in a lifetime find and don’t let it slip away! NO RESERVE If you have any questions? Please ask before the auction ends. Thanks and GOOD LUCK!!! PS: Video available of the car running to show how smooth the engine runs and smoke-free exhaust via e-mail.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement. Scroll down to read the recall announcement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or download the full defect notice as a PDF, here.
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
