You know how everyone says "You won't find a nicer Marquis for this year!" ? well, this one comes very close!

It's not perfect, but it's an original survivor! This car came to me in the spring of this year, and I am the second owner of this 16 year old classic!

It was owned and driven by a little old lady until I purchased it in April when it had only 29,*** miles!

It sounds like a typical story, but it's so true...I have the Carfax to prove it!

Because it was a "little old lady car", most of it's life was spent sitting in a garage, resulting in little to no fading of the carpet or headlight covers...

...and even the paint shines almost as if new!

Here's what I did immediately after bringing her home...It was inspected, oil n filter, and the serpentine belt was changed.

No reason for the belt to be changed other than the fact that it was the original belt and I didn't want to go on a long drive and be stranded.

Then shortly after that, I brought it in for a computer scan because a light came on in the dash...it showed the ERG sensor was bad. Since the car sat for long periods of time in between driving, and also since it was driven by an older person, it probably didn't get to go long distances, and the injectors were getting clogged. The injectors were cleaned and a new sensor put in, and while it was there, I had them replace the high beams with Sylvania Ultra Bright headlights...and they are a whiter light than the normal lights that were in there.

Now that I got all the "bugs" out, I am going to let it go to someone who can pamper it and enjoy it for many years to come...besides, my Mustang is on the way soon!!! :)

Seriously, it is!!!

OK, here we go...The interior is near mint, no rips or tears, good carpet, (all floormats too!), as expected from a car with such low milage.

It has power windows and mirrors, drivers seat is power, passenger manual.

Cruise, tilt, intermittent wipers, A/C is as cold as they come, windows roll up and down without hesitation, all seatbelts are intact and working...I'm telling you, the car is like new!

(The cassette deck doesn't play...I haven't figured out why, but it didn't matter since I don't have cassettes anyway!)

The AM-FM works fine and so does the digital clock. As for the Park Lane trim package...dealers back in those days, sold mostly LS models first and the GS models usually had to be given more of an incentive to entice the buyer...so they put special packages on them. This one got the limo treatment with side coach lights, a canvass top, known as the carriage roof, and leather interior...something the normal GS model didn't have...it wasn't an option as far as I understand.

As for the car mechanically, it is sound and can be driven anywhere at any time. It gets good gas milage too, averaging between 17 city and 25 on the highway, depending on your driving habits and road conditions. The battery is new, and the brakes, tires and exhaust are good.

It also comes with the original window sticker!

It has the classic huge trunk, clean, space saver spare and original jack.

As for the body, there are normal parking lot dings and there is a spot under the front bumper with yellow paint scratched in that obviously says the lady hit a high curb or sidewalk with it.

There is one minor flaw in the right rear wheel well, some surface rust starting where dirt gets stuck in...a manufacturing design flaw...but the remedy to that is keep the car clean and it won't continue to rust! :)

I have been honest about everything about the car, but if I left any question unanswered, please feel free to ask...but please do it before the auction ends.

I have the car listed on C***slist and it's also out in front with a for sale sign on it, so if I am offerred the price I am looking for, I will reserve my right to end the auction early.

I can't force you to buy this car, but if it's a '97 Marquis you're looking for, don't hesitate to buy this one!

PLEASE NOTE...if you need it shipped, you have to work that out yourself, I am not a dealer, therefore I do not have connections.

God bless

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There 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.

Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?

Sun, May 22 2016

These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions.
