2000 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS LS HPP 3.55 This is likely one of the nicest police handling package sedans you will find. Make no mistake, no bad guys have ever ridden in this one, but it would hold its own in a high speed ‘interceptor chase! Up for sale is my 2000 GRAND MARQUIS LS HPP. It has 30,000 original pampered miles. That’s a little more than 2,000 miles a year! This baby’s been babied, baby! It has NEVER been rained on, in the rain or snow. A $29,000 car new. Undercarriage is in like new condition. This car has been a lifelong “garage queen” which was originally ordered by an older gentleman (retired law enforcement guy) who checked off virtually every option. Car is the extremely desirable color of Silver Frost, a spectacular color for this body style. Paint is in phenomenal shape except for a couple of small “grandpa rash” scratches on the front bumper cover. Featuring the bulletproof 4.6L V-8 used in everything from Lincoln Town Cars to Mustang GT’s, this beauty is LOADED with Options: · LS luxury model · Digital Dash Option · Trip Computer Feature (miles to empty, e.g.) · Leather Seats · Leather Steering Wheel · Stereo Cassette · Power Trunk · Upgraded Automatic Climate Control · Power Windows · Rear Defrost · Vanity Mirrors · Dual Power Mirrors · Dual Reclining Power Comfort Seats (It’s like driving your living room!) · Traction Control · Handling Package · Performance Package · 3.55 Rear End · Dual Exhaust (factory!) · Convenience Light Package · Electronic Cruise Control · Electronic Compass Rear View Mirror · Heavy Duty suspension · Heavy Duty Sway Bars · Heavy Duty Rear Air Suspension · Front and Rear ceiling mounted spot lights · Front Dual Arm Rests · Rear Arm Rest · Power Trunk Release · Traction Control Bypass Switch Its engine compartment is immaculate as you can see. All service records since new, original window sticker, bill of sale, ALL PAPERWORK including the receipt for the FOUR GRAND NEW GOODYEAR EAGLE SPORT 225 60 16 ALL SEASON RADIALS mounted on the flawless 16 x 8 “lacy” wheels. Leather, carpets, headliner, trunk in fantastic condition - Always garaged in climate controlled garage. No sun fading, no rust. NEVER IN RAIN, SNOW, SALT. 18 MPG city, 24 MPG highway. This vehicle needs absolutely nothing but a new owner. It comes with all of the manuals, keys, e.g. This vehicle is garaged in Rhode Island and is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty, expressed or implied. I am a private owner, not a dealer. Florida registration and I have clear title in my name. This is one of the best cars ever made and they routinely go 300,000 miles with their bulletproof reliability. You would be hard pressed to find one as nice as this one and in my opinion, this series is nicer looking than the goofy 2003 and after models. I require a nonrefundable deposit of $1000 immediately via PayPal at the conclusion of the auction, with the balance due in the form of a bank check in five business days. For HALF the price of a tired Accord or Camry, this car is a bargain which will only provide enjoyment and reliable, safe, rugged dependability in the years to come. These Ford and Mercury “panther” sedans are no longer made and few were built with these options. Needs nothing, just serviced – all fluids changed, four new tires, alignment, even a full tank of gas! It’s been waxed and detailed and looks new. No joyrides. I will consider test drives scheduled at mutually convenient times only for bidders who've met reserve. I am not a dealer and my time is tight.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

Mercury Cougar from Bond film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' is up for auction

Fri, Nov 20 2020

To a James Bond fan, this is a very cool and important car. This 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 up for auction by Bonhams was one of three used during the filming of 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," the one-and-done film starring George Lazenby that's a dark horse favorite among many Bond fans (this one included, there's a Japanese-market 'OHMSS' poster hanging behind me as I type this). However, this was not James Bond's car in the movie. He drove an Aston Martin DBS, including in the film's pre-titles sequence when he follows Tracy di Vicenzo driving her bright red Cougar. She would go on to rescue him with it in Switzerland (hence the skis), sacrificing its pretty red paint and body work in a demolition derby on ice that they use to shake Blofeld's Benz-driving goons. Later, after getting caught in a blizzard, they seek refuge in a barn -- a pivotal scene in the film and one where this particular Cougar was apparently used.  ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE | Ice Car Race However, even without the Bond connection, this Cougar is a very cool car. It was one of only 127 in 1969 to be fitted with the top-of-the-line 428 CobraJet Ram Air V8 rated at 335 horsepower. Tracy had a serious muscle car. Bonham's doesn't seem to have thought to provide a Marti report, but I'm guessing the build of XR7, convertible and a color combo of matching red exterior and interior wasn't exactly a common one. Well, we know there were at least three. With skis and French number plates, too.  As for the '69 Cougar itself, this was the only year it looked like this: it got a new body for '69 that would last two years, but the horizontal grille slats that extended over the headlight doors (so cool!) didn't carry over to 1970. It looked worse, and it could easily be argued that it was only downhill from here for the Cougar.  The auction is set for December 16 and Bonhams is estimating a sale price of between $130,000 and $200,000. That certainly makes sense given the rarity of a CobraJet Cougar, the film connection and the complete restoration undertaken by the man who found it in a classified ad in the late 1980s. He originally just wanted it for the engine until he discovered the Bond connection. I actually saw this very car at the 50th Anniversary "Bond in Motion" exhibit at the Beaulieu Motor Museum in England back in 2013 (pictured below). There's also a model of the thing sitting next to me.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
