Lake Worth, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale is a truly one of a kind automotive creation that will impress even the die-hard enthusiast. The core of the project was a fully loaded and PERFECT all original 1996 Glacier White Mercury Grand Marquis (Same body Style as Marauder) with only 35,000 miles 6 months ago! Then totally rebuilt it from the ground up! The car is of Barret-Jackson Quality, similar Resto-Rods of less desirable models regularly bring 45-50K. Loaded with every option, it became the perfect car to complete our Resto-Rod transformation. Our goal was to create a BETTER then new 2003 2004 Mercury Marauder. What we ended up with is a faster, more luxurious and better handling version that is unique. Many thanks go to the talented folks at AFE (Advanced Flow Engineering) in California for creating the custom intake, fuel delivery systems and tuning and our own home town heroes in Lake Worth, Custom Exhausts who helped to make this car as fabulous as it is. No other Marauder cloned or original is faster, better built or as stylish. Here is just a small list of the components that also comprise the build:
• Enkei 20"x9" 5 Spoke Limited Edition LM Marauder style wheels. • Nitto NT 555 Extreme 245/35/ZR20 Tires for the ultimate in traction and stability. • Brembo Non-Fade Rotors and Ceramic Brake Pads to provide exceptional stopping power! • Stainless Steel Complete Dual Exhaust with 2 1/2'" pipes, Catback Mufflers & Marauder Tips for a sport profile & performance sound • Jet Technology Power Chip and Programmer that provided a 20% increase in HP and MPG over the stock computer. • Custom Made Fully Ported Complete K&N Cold air intake system • Self-Leveling Suspension (PrecisionTrak) that constantly adjusts for driving conditions on the fly. • State of the Electronics (Passport Max Radar, Garmin GPS, Alpine Head unit for Ipods, CD, Tuner, MP3, Chips and Active Sirius) all built in with no external wiring! • Fully Digtal Dash and Gauges with Factory Trip Computer including Auto Meter Marauder Pod Gauges. • Hella HID headlights, 15000K Xenon Intensity. Safest way to drive at night and looks awesome. • HID Foglights (Driving) with 12K bulbs. • High Lift Duration Crane Cam, then engine balanced and blueprinted!. • Finest Ceramic LLumar Window tinting all around with a lifetime guarantee • Custom Made Embroidered Marauder Floor Mats. The latest Dyno test resulted at 348 HP at the REAR WHEELS, faster then any Original Marauder but never put on any track or raced (Even stoplight! lol) but as comfortable as any highway cruiser in existence. So much more was put into it, would take pages to list. If you want a one of a kind car that could not be duplicated for a fraction of the build cost, here it is. We have over 35K invested in this creation but will sell it to begin our newest endeavor! You must see and drive it to fully appreciate it! Thank you for your interest |

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill 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!
