Great Mills, Maryland, United States
|
Very original 1986 Mercury Capri 5.0L. Factory T-top car, with every available option for the 1986 model year. This is a very rare car, with only 1,256 T-top Capri's being produced, and car is approx. 1-170 Oxford White cars. With options, the car in undoubtedly even rarer (The math says this is approx a 1 of <20 car) Beautiful Canyon Red interior, with seats that are 9.5/10. The only interior blemishing is some discoloring and hazing on the dash/instrument panels. Paint is this cars biggest issue. Although it is a driver-quality respray, it has aged considerably and is cracking in areas (Can supply in-depth pictures at request). Car is 100% turn-key, drive it anywhere. Recent maintenance to include: Inner-outer tie rods/balljoints/KYB shocks & struts/KYB Quad-shock/SVT Cobra springs (have originals). Water pump/thermostat/hoses. Serpentine belt, spark plugs, wires, MSD cap&rotor. Starter, starter solenoid,and many vacuum line have also been replaced. AOD transmission was rebuild by a previous owner and has a slight shift kit, but very drive-able. Has nearly all the "Capri-specific" parts that are impossible to find -Cowl panel/Sail louvers/Cat steering wheel. I do not have the correct "cat" center caps, the car comes with "Ford" caps. The correct Marchal 750 fog-lights are available, but not included in sale. This car is absolutely stunning, and always draws compliments at car shows.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The 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.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford 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.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
