1968 MERCURY MARQUIS
Here is a nice 1968 Mercury Marquis, exterior is silver/grey depending on lighting. Interior is blue. This car has the upgraded brougham package. This Mercury is in nice shape, but does need work to restore it to original perfect shape. The driver's window is off track, we have all the parts but you will need to purchase the guide. There is a small spot on the driver's side rear quarter that will need to be repaired (see pic), there are small bubbles in the paint toward the rear of the car (see pic), since the car has been outside with a car cover. Over all the car is solid, the trunk is solid and the vinyl top is in nice condition.
This Mercury has a 429 V8 engine with a two-barrel carburetor. This car has very low original mileage. It has 66,080 original miles. The title I have in hand, states that when it was purchased from the previous owner, it had approximately 55,000 miles. This car would take some TLC, since it has been stored. This would make a good everyday car or a real nice show car. This car was garage kept for many years and now is under a car cover, since we no longer have a garage for the car. The transmission for the Marquis is a Ford C6, 3-speed automatic. Power front disc brakes. This Mercury is equipped with, AC, power seats, original radio. For the age of the car, it is clearly a real nice looking car. There is very minimal rust for the age of the car. The car runs great, it is very powerful and has good pick up. The interior will need to be cleaned since it has been sitting so long. The previous owner told me that the car is original. The body of the car is smooth and straight. It turly is a unique nice looking car.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A 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.
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.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
