The Black and tan color combo looks great on this car. I just bought the car from a person who needed garage space because he just bought another car. he was the second owner of record I can explain more of the history by phone I brought it to my mechanic and he went through it and fixed things as needed new power steering lines tune.time and a new voltage regulator were all it needed. I find any serious buyers will call and I encourage that. Basically the car is a great cruise night car with ice cold AC that sounds rides and drives great. Super smooth on the highway and the fun of a standard shift on back roads. Again please call for honest info Email call or text Vin nine seven eight 835 6009
The black paint I would rate really nice I have photos showing a couple imperfections
The car shows 90K but the motor has a nice cam in it and an Edelbrock manifold and carb the original carb manifold air cleaner and valve covers come with it the chrome dress up but I am not sure when it was done or what was done to the motor when they opened it up to put the cam in It does sound and run super It has power front discs and rear drums
New flowmaster exhaust with just the right muscle car sound.. New front end work The tires have approx 600 miles on them. The rally wheels have the correct Mercury insignia on the caps
The interior as you see looks very nice with just a few small blemishes here and there. All gauges work even the clock The AM Fm Radio works OK All power windows work but the rear drivers side has to be put up from the switch at the window itself The map light and courtesy light work There is a new custom carpet that comes with the car when installed it will compliment the interior quite nicely.
The exterior has no visible rust anywhere the undercarriage,frame,floor pans and trunk are rust free. The bumpers are clear of any pitty or rust at all
The top is in good shape except for the one area depicted in the photos Its something that could be lived with in top down weather and fixed or replaced at the new owners convienience Again I encourage questions or inspections from serious buyers All questions will be answered with complete honesty

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
