1978 Mercury Grand Marquis:  An un-restored survivor car with 15,965 original miles!  


Original 460 cubic inch 4 barrel motor, new vinyl top to match original, original interior, dash, door panels, carpet which are all in Mint condition!  Body is Laser straight and accident free. original dark blue paint.  The chrome all around looks new and the undercarriage looks like the Mercury just rolled out of the showroom!  Since purchased I have changed the oil and filter, changed the brake fluid, tranny fluid and radiator fluid.  My mechanic recharged the AC which is now blowing ice cold!  My mechanic also checked the brakes and said the brakes look brand new!  The car has 4 brand new tires with the original factory wheel covers.  Should you not have room to park the Mercury in your garage I have also purchased a brand new car cover which will protect the car from acid rain, bird droppings, etc.  This is a smoke free car always garaged and purchased from a collector in Chattanooga, TN.  Power windows, power seats, power steering, cruise control, original am/fm radio, AC.  Everything on the car works except the clock.  My mechanic thinks we have a loose wire somewhere but we are not sure.  The Mercury has been totally serviced and checked over by a certified mechanic.  You can drive the Mercury anywhere worry free!  In my opinion probably the nicest 78 Mercury you will ever find!

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A 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.
