Affordable with Low Reserve, this beautiful Head-Turner Classic was restored in 1995 starting with the 256 cid V-8 engine re-build, Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission rebuild, new paint, new interior, new chrome, electric fuel pump at the tank, and electric converted to 12 volt with new factory wiring. The total cost of restoration in 1995 dollars was just under $21,000, which is documented with receipts. The car has been in storage for the past 17 years and less than 1000 miles put on it since the restoration. It starts right up and the dual exhaust sounds great! The White-Wall Tires and spare in the trunk are like new. Odometer reads 33,706, but I don’t think this is actual miles. Although a Beautiful and Very Nice, & Solid Car, it is not perfect. There is a chip of paint broken off one corner of the hood (see picture), the driver's side door sticks, and there is an occasional oil drip. Nevertheless, this is a Very Nice Representative of an American 1950's Classic. It is available for viewing in Denver by contacting me and setting a time. It is being advertised locally and is subject to sale possibly before the auction ends. If still available, it will also be featured and can be seen at the 43rd Annual Tri State Swap Meet on February 8-9 located at the National Western Complex in Denver.

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.

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!

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.
