This is a really nice Custom 46 merc Hot Rod Cruiser... This cool Merc is a very nicely done. I bought it from a guy who took on trade for another classic and he did not know full history. I'll tell you what I was told and what I can see... Small block Chevy V8... he said 283... I'll get the number off the block... looks rebuilt to me and runs excellent with nice power. Turbo 350 3 speed automatic with shift kit and long handle Hurst shifter... 12 bolt rear. Has a front clip with power steering and brakes.This classic rod is in great driver condition all around. Nice restoration including Body, Interior, Motor, Trans, and Suspension... looks, runs, drives great. Cool vintage hot rod would be awesome weekend cruiser, daily driver, potential show car, or addition to any collection...

The body is straight with some minor bumps and blemishes... no signs of collision damage or significant rust that I can see... has just a bit of very minor surface rust underneath... no holes or rot. Undercarriage and frame looks super clean and solid. Red paint presents very well with some imperfections and blemishes... worst is on the tip of the hood where the chrome trim was removed but I have the trim and would just put it back on. Car has a very cool stance and period correct hot rod look and maintains a really comfortable ride. Get's looks and compliments everywhere we roll... a little love and this is an easy weekend show car.

The interior is nicely done with red diamond tuck. Someone put those racing style seats in... WHY???, I have a really nice set of red and black leather seats (see pics) I'm going to have those installed next week and a set of covers made to match the diamond pattern. Newer Carpet is decent...redone door panels. Dash redone with really nice SW gauges. Nice hidden modern sound system sounds great. Old school heater/blower works!!!.

V8 motor appears stock except for Aluminum manifold, holley carb, headers and custom dual exhaust... sounds cool. Starts idles and runs fantastic... Great power!. Legendary Turbo 350 3 speed auto shifts smooth and strong through the gears... Heavy duty 12 bolt rear end. Gear ratios are great around town and cruises nice on the freeway as well. Has power brakes and power steering. Suspension and brakes feel great... Rides nice and stops straight and sure. Can easily be a daily driver and it drives very well... strong and reliable. Really Nice, powerful, Fun driver.... ready to roll.

Overall this is a super cool Classic Merc Hot Rod in beautiful condition all around. Awesome weekend cruiser, daily driver, or potential show car.. Great for any enthusiast, collector, or anyone looking for a cool Vintage Classic Muscle Car at a great price.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

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.
