This is a great car that needs some TLC. I decided to sell my winter project. It is a virgin 64K actual mile MERCURY '85 RS T-Top Capri. 1 of 1399 T-Top Capri's ever made. Break that down to tan interior cars and it's probably less than 100 left today. It's a Oklahoma rust free car it's whole life. Its a real deal 5.0 car with the auto trans. That means its the 175HP CFI fuel throttle body injected. It runs great and doesn't smoke or knock. Its completely original, short of daily maintenance items and dual exhaust. as you can see it caught a deer on left fender and small door damage but comes with two perfect rust free fenders and hood. This would be a easy father son project and would be a great teenager car as its the auto trans car. It has had a complete dual exhaust system installed with large chrome tips sounds great. These are the first cars with forged pistons so would be great to modify with performance parts. The sky's the limit with these engines as they have lots of available parts at reasonable prices. These FOX body platform cars have lots of possibilities. I would restore as its so close to original.

It does need some brake work(bleeds off when pedal is depressed but pump up quickly) and does have some fluid leaks. It has been sitting the last five years in a storage shed. It has the typical crack in the floor these cars get. I purchased subframe connectors with floor brace that are included.We did drive it 450 miles to my house from where we purchased it in Oklahoma. I would recommend a trailer but its up to you if you wanna take the chance. When it leaves my house it's your baby.

I will assist in loading any way I can. I cannot deliver you must come get it. I can store up to two weeks or longer if discussed at auction close. As long as it's paid in full within 72 hours of auction close. There is a $500 deposit required at auction close through PAYPAL within 24hrs of auction close.

I reserve the right to close this auction at any time for any reason without repercussion to me. This is a real car and this is a real deal and it needs to go. I just got divorced and need to free up some funds. I am a serious seller looking for a serious buyer. please call with any questions you have I can take any picture wanted and text you or email you back.

Please call Todd with serious questions @ 515-556-7730. Any question asked that is not serious or can be explained in the pics/description will not be responded to.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
