This is a "Project" car that still needs more work. Look at the pictures and read the description. Starting the bid low to give everyone a chance. Due to disability and financial problems, I am unable to finish the car. Now looking to sell to raise quick cash for bills. The Rebuilt Engine, Transmission and Rear plus all these parts listed, then add all the machine shops and all the mechanics costs come to over $12 grand total. Most of the hard work and cost has been done. Should not take much more to get it on the road.
Owned this car Since 1982 when I purchased it from family member. This car was a daily driver up until several years ago. We decided to upgrade the engine, transmission and rear end. Plenty of New parts and alot of mechanical work has been done. Started up this engine for it's first time (has zero miles since rebuild) and it sounded great with the Hooker Headers and Turbo Mufflers. Unfortunately it stalled out a few times due to bad fuel (tea colored) shown in the clear fuel filter. I would recommend replacing the 40 year old Gas Tank and Fuel Lines because of the gas tanks internal rust will contaminate the engine. The engine has no miles on it and will need adjustments and a breakin period. The 3 Speed Automatic transmission has no miles on it, needs to run all gears and check fluids. The rear end was rebuilt with new bearings and 4.11 gears also with no miles on it. The car will need some minor work and TLC before you can drive it on the road. The car needs lots of body work, has rust in quarters, floor and trunk. Will need paint and body work to make is look great. Plus any other minor mechanical issues. The interior is original all black as it came. Dash shows cracking and so does the leather seats. The black carpet is worn and needs replacement. The door panels show alot of wear. The black headliner has wear and a minor few tears. This is normal condition for a 40 year old car. Below is a partial listing, many more New parts just too much to list all of them.
This sale is for serious car buyers only, email me with your phone number for more details and appointment. This car is in a Las Vegas Storage Facility. Not driveable, so it will need to be towed and or shipped. Local buyers, If you want to hear the engine, I will get help to start it up for a demo run (not to drive). Payment in cash upon pickup. Clean Nevada Title in my name. Sold "as-is" condition all sales are final.

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.

You 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.

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
