87' Mercury Grand Marquis LS in very, very good condition.  It has a few minor cosmetic issues, i.e. door dings, paint chips, etc.  But, the body is straight, with the original paint on it.  Great for the age of the car!  The interior is also very clean, no rips, tears, or stains.  Mechanically, everything works, even all the little lights, like for the keyholes on the front doors, for example.  All power options work, windows, locks, and antenna.  I'm only the second owner, have had it for a little over a year.  The car is originally from Central CA, so no rust at all.  Originally got it for my 16 year old, but he's not so interested in it anymore.  His loss!  The miles are correct, has not turned over.  Have the receipts for everything we did to the car, here's most of the items covered:  New tires, plugs, cap and rotor, plug wires, transmission service, radiator flush, and LOF.  We also replaced 4 of the 6 speakers.  The ac works, could stand a recharge, but it does work.  It also has been driven a week or so every month just to keep everything in working order.  All in all, a very nice example of an American vehicle from that period.  Clear title is in hand, vehicle sold as is, no warranty.  $500.00 deposit via PayPal required within 24hrs of auction end, balance due by certified funds or cash within 7 days of auction end.  Buyer is responsible for transporting vehicle.  Please contact me with any questions, thanks for looking, and good luck!

Has the Mercury Marauder gotten better with age?

Fri, Oct 23 2015

In the early 2000s Mercury desperately wanted to develop some edge for its brand – seemingly stuck between a quasi-premium, quasi-performance space in the Ford Universe. The Marauder is perhaps the most famous of the vehicles that resulted from those efforts, and is rapidly approaching Modern Classic status, today. Effectively a murdered out Grand Marquis with some updated trim pieces – what are company parts bins for, if not raiding? – the Marauder looked convincingly like a bad guy car. The 4.6-liter V8 under its hood that had been breathed on by engineers for a little more power, kicking out 302 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque from the factory. Not exactly Ferrari-baiting numbers, but it'd give your local cop's car a run for its money. Being a wild child of the last decade, of course our friends at MotorWeek had it on the program. What better way to test your mean-mugging muscle sedan than with John Davis' tanned and steady hands?

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The 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.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
