1971 Mercury Capri Base 1.6l on 2040-cars
Galloway, Ohio, United States
|
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 recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
