I purchased this car in 2008 at the October Auto Fair held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The car is pretty much the same as the day I purchased the car except for the Power Brake Conversion which I installed. The restoration of this car looks good to me. The paint job looks professional. The restoration, however, is not complete. Here are a couple things I have observed about the car:
1 - The engine runs well but does smoke as it warms up and is not a high performance engine. There is a slight coolant leak at the gasket between the engine block and timing chain housing.
2 - The car will need a complete brake job.
3 - The interior has some sun damage on the door panels and the dash is cracked but does have a new dash cover.
4 - There is a slight water leak around the upper left corner of the rear windshield.
5 - The left rear quarter panel has had some body work.
6 - The steering wheel is original with the GT logo but also has some splits, however, it is still solid.
NOTE: I am selling this car for friend of mine. If you have any questions, please send me a message or call my friend Chris at 704-484-2941 after 5:00 pm. Thanks.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
