For sale is a very nice 1984 Mercury Grand Marquis LS. This car was bought in August of 2010, and has been maintained and driven until July 2013. Most major engine electrical components (ECT, EGR, Distributor, MAP, TPS) have been replaced, along with the fuel injectors. The driver's seat back was broken when we bought the car; it has since been rewelded and fixed. The headliner droops but not low, and will need reglued/replaced. There are some spots of rust on the passenger side rear wheel arch and quarter, as well as the passenger fender, both of which are pictured. 

-Clean Title, in hand.
-Inspected until June, 2014 (Freshly inspected before being parked)
-302ci Ford V8, CFI (Central Fuel Injection)
-AOD (Automatic Overdrive) Transmission shifts like a dream, transmission was purged and refilled ~2000 miles ago
-97XXX Miles
-Maintained, oil changed at every 3000 mile interval, major components replaced when needed
-15 Inch Sport "Turbine" Wheels included, as well as the locking hubcaps for the 14 Inch Wheels
-Interior very nice except for crack in center of dashpad and headliner drooping
-Underside very clean with only some common surface rust
-New fuel lines
-New front struts and shocks, also have rear struts and shocks but have not been installed.
-Factory AM/FM/Cassette
-Car has A/C (R134a Conversion) but will need a new orifice tube and evaporator drier
-Car has cruise control, but the clip is broken so it is not functional.
-Passenger window doesn't roll up or down very well, needs new regulator, have but have not installed.
-Front Power Door Locks do not work, were originally not on the car, replacements froze up over winter. Rear locks are fine
-All new door lock strikers, doors open and shut wonderfully.
-Will more than likely need new weatherstripping around the front two doors and trunk.
-Needs new Power Antenna, a drunk moron pulled it off one night in February, 2011.

The damage you see at the front of the car was from the previous owner, an elderly gentleman who shut off the car and got out of the car while it was still in drive. It went through a church wall. The damage pictured on the hood is the only damage from the incident apparent. The rear bumper did get tapped by another drunken moron in March, 2011; he lost a headlight, the bumper on the car was merely tweaked. No frame damage, it just needs straightened by someone with porta-power or a rather large hammer.

Overall, this is an excellent vehicle for use as either a daily driver or as a classic show car with just a bit of work. It fires up very easily, runs very smoothly, shifts and drives with ease. The car gets around 13-15 MPG city, and around 20-23 MPG highway. I would not hesitate to say that you could buy this car, get the title transferred and drive away happy. We're selling it because we've got too many vehicles around and this one was not going to be used.

$2250 OBO, will consider any reasonable offer. May accept trade for a diesel VW. Please, no lowballers, no tirekickers, and no one who will waste our time. In Corry, PA. SOLD AS IS!

Junkyard Gem: 1972 Mercury Cougar XR-7

Sun, Feb 12 2023

Starting with the 1939 model year and continuing through 2011, the rule in Dearborn was that most Ford models would get a dressed-up sibling wearing Mercury badges (and Canadians even got Mercury F-100s and Econolines). When the Mustang first hit showrooms in 1964, the countdown for a Mercurized version began. That car, the Cougar, debuted as a 1967 model marketed as "the man's car." Today's Junkyard Gem is a much-abused example of the early-1970s Cougar, found in a San Francisco Bay Area car graveyard a while back. Just as the Mustang packed on weight and price as the 1960s became the 1970s, the even more heavily gingerbreaded Cougar did the same. For 1971 through 1973, the Cougar was still based on the Mustang chassis but weighed several hundred additional pounds and was more than seven inches longer. The curb weight for this car was 3,298 pounds, versus 2,941 pounds for the lightest '72 Mustang coupe. Yes, there's a Mustang underneath all that chrome! When the Mustang went to a modified Pinto chassis starting in the 1974 model year, the Cougar moved over to the midsize Torino platform and stayed there until it rejoined the Mustang on the Fox platform for 1980 (though the honor of being the Mustang's near-twin went to the Mercury Capri at that point). For 1989, the Cougar became an MN12 Thunderbird sibling, where it remained through its 30th anniversary … and then the Cougar got the axe. The Cougar story wasn't done at that point, however, because the name got revived in 1999 with a Mondeo-based version that lasted through 2002 and bears the distinction of being one of the few Mercury models with no corresponding Ford-badged counterpart. Along the way, there were Cougar sedans and even station wagons, with the curb weight of the heaviest-ever Cougar bloating to well over two tons (the winner of that honor is the 1977 Cougar Villager wagon, scaling in at an astounding 4,482 pounds). In 1972, though, all new Cougars were coupes or convertibles, and all of them came with factory V8 power. The build tag on this one tells us that it was assembled at the River Rouge compound in Dearborn and sold via the Kansas City sales office. That tells us that someone drove this car to California after buying it in the Midwest; Ford also built 1972 Cougars in San Jose, so California Mercury shoppers would have bought locally-produced ones. It's a top-end XR-7 in Medium Bright Yellow paint, with the interior in Medium Ginger.

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri XR2

Mon, Jun 5 2023

Just a year after the Mazda MX-5 Miata first went on sale in the United States, Ford's Mercury Division began selling a similarly-priced two-seat convertible here. This was the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, and I've found an example of the hot-rod turbocharged version in a northeastern Colorado car graveyard. The Capri name has an illustrious history within the Ford Empire. First used on a Lincoln in 1952, it went on to serve as the name for a hardtop version of the early-1960s Ford Consul in the UK, then as the designation for a low-end trim level on the 1966-1967 Mercury Comet. Starting in the 1969 model year in Europe (1970 in North America), Ford began selling the best-known Capri of all: a sporty coupe based on the Cortina, sold through Mercury dealers in the United States but never badged as a Mercury here. Sales of that Capri halted here after 1978 (they continued through 1986 in Europe), but the Mercury Division then moved the name over to its version of the 1979-1986 Ford Mustang. After that, Ford Australia took the Capri name for a new Mazda 323-based sports car beginning in 1989. Then Dearborn decided that an Americanized version of the Australian Capri would be a success on this side of the Pacific, and left-hand-drive Capris began showing up in American Mercury showrooms in late 1990. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those first-model-year cars, and it's the very rare turbocharged XR2 version. While this car was intended to be a competitor for the Miata, it's really that car's Mazda cousin. Both cars got their power from 1.6-liter versions of Mazda's versatile B engine, though the Capri had the same front-wheel-drive setup as its 323/Protege (and Escort/Tracer) platform siblings. At the same time, Ford was selling Kia-built Mazdas with Festiva (and, a bit later, Aspire) badging, alongside Mazda MX-6s with Probe badges. Just to make things interesting, American Mazda dealers were selling Ford Explorers as Mazda Navajos, while Rangers with Mazda badges followed starting in 1994. The 1990s were Mazda-riffic times at Ford! This car wasn't the first Australian-designed, Mazda-based Ford product sold in the United States. That honor belongs to the 1988-1989 Mercury Tracer, which was based on the same Mazda 323 platform as the Capri and built in Mexico. Later on, the Tracer remained a member of the 323 chassis family but was a nearly identical twin to its Ford Escort sibling.
