Versatility:

-Cleans up nice- a respectable looking vehicle with good bones and great lines,

feels current- As far as the upgrade possibilities-

the customizations I've seen online are sharp and slick!

This car can accept a Duratec DOHC V6 or V8 SHO Engine-

now seen on ebay for Cheap!

Some guy fitted his Sable with a 32 Valve V8 SHO Taurus Engine

It can be a good project sled to upgrade and customize- I've sourced and priced parts for this car from various parts vendors, and, for example, a used or rebuilt V4, V6 or V8 engine can be had for not as much as you'd think (if that's ever needed)

But it's also a good Family car that Seats Five, is Safe, and has Practical Features-

It has Austere Good Looks, Subtly Sophisticated in Black and has Room for your Life 

 

History:

-This Beautiful Sable has been garaged at night it's entire life, save for vacations and whatnot

The Interior of the car is Excellent. This was my Mom's car and she babied it

I've only had it since 2010, and the owner before her only put 16,000 on it

Regular maintenance has always been done, and we've kept all of the service records

I keep oiling and washing it and giving it love, but it's really not in use

It's only been sitting in my garage for several months.

My Mechanic has told me the seals need to be replaced to get compression back.

Repairs as follows can be made at intervals, to get the car up and running immediately.

The main issue is to replace the seals and keep the Engine from sputtering.

 

 

The Bad (your bargaining chips):

Known Issues:

1. -Two bits of Rust (One at the Trunk, near the chrome trim, and one at the crest of the wheel well on the driver's side rear wheel)

2. -Needs a General Electronic Module  (GEM - part around $100-250, Labor ? -and, according to the instructions, pretty easy)

The GEM controls the Stereo AM/FM Radio/CD Player, Clock, Speedometer and Odometer, which are currently not working because of it-

I have stopped driving it for this reason (regarding odometer reading- the GEM will reveal true Mileage)

- but the instruments technically work- it's simply the GEM that needs to be replaced*

3. -Cruise Control not engaging*

4. -One Rear Window not opening*

Rear Window Motor or some other issue may exist (unknown) The rest of the windows work fine

*(*asterik indicates these may be GEM issues, and might be restored after GEM is functioning –{unknown})

5. -Down the road, the front Brakes may need updating, and the drums are ugly, but functioning

6. -The compression is bad, needs Seals replaced, but it seems the engine is otherwise o.k., low miles

 

7. -Keep in mind this car isn't running right now, I've detached the battery!

-------> Arrange for Towing to your home or garage,

OR

maybe I can give you a free one way tow with my Auto Club to within 50 miles of the 91205 Zip Code.


- The insurance is still current and will be until the completion of sale. 

This is NOT a DMV Non-Operational, and has not been registered as such, as of yet.

The tags are good until April 2014.

This is a functional vehicle that needs someone to invest a little green for a lot of car in return.

 

 

Let's Deal!

 

This has been an exceptional car

We love the Sable, and All Ford Family Cars (we have another Ford),

It’s just that we can get by without a second car

It's a luxurious vehicle with a smooth, quiet ride and decent gas mileage, especially on the highway

It's a solid piece of American Steel and is safe and practical

It cleans up nice and has a nice get up and go on the freeway

It's in the garage and will remain there until the right buyer comes along

We're not desperate to sell, but we are open to offers, but no low-ballers, please

Make a reasonable offer and we'll let it go for the right buyer

 

I arrived at the $2000 because this car, minus the estimates for repairs, is in Really Decent Condition Overall.

 

Make an Offer!

 

Contact the email and I'll get back to you as soon as I see it.

 

Thanks for looking!

Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar

Thu, Feb 25 2021

We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste.  When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled.  Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes.  "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass.  Related Video:

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri XR2

Mon, Jun 5 2023

Just a year after the Mazda MX-5 Miata first went on sale in the United States, Ford's Mercury Division began selling a similarly-priced two-seat convertible here. This was the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, and I've found an example of the hot-rod turbocharged version in a northeastern Colorado car graveyard. The Capri name has an illustrious history within the Ford Empire. First used on a Lincoln in 1952, it went on to serve as the name for a hardtop version of the early-1960s Ford Consul in the UK, then as the designation for a low-end trim level on the 1966-1967 Mercury Comet. Starting in the 1969 model year in Europe (1970 in North America), Ford began selling the best-known Capri of all: a sporty coupe based on the Cortina, sold through Mercury dealers in the United States but never badged as a Mercury here. Sales of that Capri halted here after 1978 (they continued through 1986 in Europe), but the Mercury Division then moved the name over to its version of the 1979-1986 Ford Mustang. After that, Ford Australia took the Capri name for a new Mazda 323-based sports car beginning in 1989. Then Dearborn decided that an Americanized version of the Australian Capri would be a success on this side of the Pacific, and left-hand-drive Capris began showing up in American Mercury showrooms in late 1990. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those first-model-year cars, and it's the very rare turbocharged XR2 version. While this car was intended to be a competitor for the Miata, it's really that car's Mazda cousin. Both cars got their power from 1.6-liter versions of Mazda's versatile B engine, though the Capri had the same front-wheel-drive setup as its 323/Protege (and Escort/Tracer) platform siblings. At the same time, Ford was selling Kia-built Mazdas with Festiva (and, a bit later, Aspire) badging, alongside Mazda MX-6s with Probe badges. Just to make things interesting, American Mazda dealers were selling Ford Explorers as Mazda Navajos, while Rangers with Mazda badges followed starting in 1994. The 1990s were Mazda-riffic times at Ford! This car wasn't the first Australian-designed, Mazda-based Ford product sold in the United States. That honor belongs to the 1988-1989 Mercury Tracer, which was based on the same Mazda 323 platform as the Capri and built in Mexico. Later on, the Tracer remained a member of the 323 chassis family but was a nearly identical twin to its Ford Escort sibling.

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion

Wed, Jun 17 2015

While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
