1986 Mercury Grand Marquis 5.0 Fuel Inj. Daily Driver, Cold A/c on 2040-cars
You are bidding on my daily driver. Its a 1986 Mercury Grand Marquis. 5.0 fuel injected with an automatic transmission. It runs and drives great with cold A/C and a hot heater. It has working cruise control and power windows. The passenger front and rear window work fine, the drivers rear needs a new gear, the motor works just wont make it go up. The drivers front I just put a new motor in but has a short in the switch or somthing you have to tap the panel sometimes to make it work. I bought it from an old man about a year ago and love it but I bought a truck and no longer need it. It is all original, even still had the original hoses but I did have all the coolant hoses changed before making a 900 mile trip last summer. It does fine on long trips, I wouldnt be afraid to drive it anywhere. I put about 400 miles a week on it with no problems. The only thing it will do is every now and then when you first start it up it will run rough and act like its missing, but when it does that just kill it and restart and it goes away. It only does that a few times a month so I never worried about getting it looked at and like I said if you simply kill it and restart it runs fine. Also the valve covers are leaking oil from old age, it leaks about a quart about every 1500 miles. The vinyl roof is all split up as you can see in the pics and the head liner and visors are ripped up as well from the age. Other than that its a great car and I hate to sell it. I can store it as long as needed after the auction ends but do require full payment within 14 days of auction ending. If you wish to drive it home I could pick you up from the new orleans airport. If you have any questions or want more pictures send me an email. Happy Bidding....

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.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
What do you do with a fake Bugatti Veyron for $60k?
Tue, Mar 29 2016Replica cars are a challenging labor of love because builders spend countless hours recreating a vehicle that people immediately compare to the real thing. Perhaps, the person behind this Mercury Cougar-based Bugatti Veyron should look for another way to pass that time. The coupe is currently for sale on eBay Motors for $59,900. The builder deserves some credit because the fiberglass body looks acceptable in the photos from farther away. The car might even fool a few people from a distance. However, the devil is in the details, and the closer you look, the worse this gets. The side intakes are especially rough. The red interior is atrocious. It's essentially the Cougar's cabin but in an eye-searing shade accented with lots of fake carbon fiber. The seller's eBay Motors ad really tries to market the look, though. "You slide in to [sic] this extremely comfortable leather interior and you feel like your bank account just quadrupled in size," the listing says. Don't expect to win any top speed titles in this Veyron replica, either. Rather than a mid-mounted quad-turbo W16, a 3.0-liter V6 from a Mercury Sable sits at the front. Thanks to an upgraded intake and exhaust, the seller claims, "It doesn't sound like your grandmas [sic] Sable." We wish the seller the best of luck, but the asking price of nearly $60,000 is probably too optimistic. We would still think twice about buying it even after taking a zero off that figure, but at least this thing is fun to look at. Related Video:
