Up for auction I have a rare find, 1976 Mercury Capri II. I'm selling it for a friend of mine that is unable to work on it anymore due to recent health issues. The body is in excelent condition for the age, It will need very little if any body work, There are no dents to speak of, Its a very solid car. There is a small hole in the floor board that looks like was made from the drivers seat mount worn through about 2 inches by 3 inches. The front seat is not from this car and is a pass side seat from an unknown car, This is how I got it and I have no other front seats, There only appears to be some surface rust around the rear window and the cheapo paint job is chipping from that area it looks worse in the pic then it really is. The bumpers are missing and I got the car that way. The wheels are off of another car again unknown donor, the tires look to be in good shape great tread but would not trust on freeway. I drove this car a week ago and it runs very well, no rattles, knocks and does not smoke, It runs pretty smooth and pulls very hard just like the true german 2.8's should. I did light up the tires and got it sideways in second gear. (testing the trans & clutch) I got it up to 70 mph very easily but it does have the standard high speed wobble that the capri's were known for at over 45 mph and lightly hit brakes (needs front end bushings and maybe struts). The heater core is not connected as it probably leaked, The brakes are very good and it stops nice, I'm also including a new set of pads just as I got with car, There is a spare tire, The car does have true factory dual exhaust with origional cats intact and does not appear to have any leaks, The dash needs fixed as in pics as well as the steering wheel, the steering seems nice and tight with minimal play at all, The transmission and rearend feel very tight without noises, the shifter is a little sloppy not too bad, I looked at it and it just needs linkage bushings redone, The glass is all intact but this is arizona and all the rubber is in bad shape and has shrunk from age so the glass is not being held in very secure, Windshield is cracked. Now for the Bad!!! haha the starter is no good I took it out its sitting in my shop and will need replaced, they are $80 at O'Reilly auto parts. I have been push starting the car without any probs. If the bidding gets to a decent price I will consider buying a starter. If you have any questions please ask before bidding is in its last day as I do not watch the auctions or my emails as I have other things going on. If you are in the phoenix area you are more then welcome to come and look at the car you will not be dissapointed. I'm listing any and all items I see with car and I do my very best to list all of them. This is how I got the car from my friend and this is how its being sold. This is a No reserve auction and the high bidder wins so do not wait till the last minute to bid as it may be over before you get a bid in!!!!

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid

Sat, Dec 19 2020

Once hybrid vehicles from Honda and Toyota proved to work well in the real world of American streets during the early 2000s, other U.S.-market manufacturers climbed aboard the gasoline-electric bandwagon. Ford introduced the Escape Hybrid for the 2005 model year and sales proved quite strong; its Mercury-badged sibling, the Mariner Hybrid, appeared the following year. The Mariner Hybrid never induced many vehicle shoppers to sign on the line which is dotted, despite gasoline prices going absolutely ape in 2008, though it remained available all the way through the Mercury brand's 2010 demise. Here's one of those rare trucks, found in a Denver-area yard last month. The Escape/Mariner Hybrids got amazing fuel economy for tall, truck-shaped machines, though the serious penny-pinchers with long commutes skipped anything built in the 21st century and began driving up the prices of the once-scorned Geo Metro XFi, gas-sipping champion of the previous decade. The Mercury brand was on the ropes by this time, with not much to distinguish the once-distinctive Mercury machines from their near-identical Ford counterparts. The 1999-2002 Cougar was the last Mercury sold here with no twin brothers over in the Ford showrooms. I do see the occasional Escape Hybrid in places like this, though such gas-saving small SUVs tend to retain their value well enough that it takes a crash to retire one. This Mariner Hybrid hit something hard and either flipped on its side or scraped a guardrail for some distance. The airbags deployed and, presumably, spared the occupants from serious injury. That's the good news. The bad news is that fixing this kind of damage to a 13-year-old vehicle made by a defunct brand just isn't worth it to insurance companies, hybrid-electric powertrain or not. We can assume that the battery pack lives on in another Escape/Mariner. Navigation, Bluetooth, and other features that were considered pretty slick in 2007. This truck was in pretty good shape until the very end. Jill Wagner proved that you can bury a Mercury emblem in volcanic soil and it will grow into a brand-new Mariner Hybrid. That's how science works! You can go to the same field and tap on a Mercury emblem, if you want to get a regular gasoline Mariner.

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.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
