1971 Mercury Capri with 30,000 miles, This car spent the last 40+ years in Pensacola , Fl, with its original owner prior to my acquisition in March 2014. It is my understanding that it was stored in a carport in partial sun and this caused some interior damage although serviceable and not bad for 43 years, all of the paint is original and shows no sign of ever having any bodywork. Destroyed carpet was removed to show the rust free flooring. The rear D-windows have been upgraded to the drilled glass from a newer model keeping the windows from leaving the vehicle at high speeds. This is still the best Capri I have seen in the East in more than 20 years. The car has several rust spots in very accessible areas including the trunk lid. It has removable surface rust over many body panels but has virtually no rust in the following hard to repair areas: A and B pillars, trunk, under hood, floor pan, battery tray, hood, spring attachment areas and inner wheel wells. This is the most solid and complete car I have found with all of its trim, great bumpers with near perfect bumper guards. The car currently has a clear Ohio title. The car has not been registered since 2012 and I suspect it set many years before being bought out for one season (grandson?). A tach and radio are installed in the passenger side under-dash compartment. The car is complete and original with nearly everything. Will provide specific pictures of any desired body location. The condition of the engine and std tranny are unknown although complete. Only serious bidders, must provide $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end and full balance due within 7 days. Winner is responsible for shipping and transportation.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

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!

Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump

Tue, May 2 2017

A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.
