1987 Mercury Grand Marquis Ls Sedan 4-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
United States
|
87' Mercury Grand Marquis LS in very, very good condition. It has a few minor cosmetic issues, i.e. door dings, paint chips, etc. But, the body is straight, with the original paint on it. Great for the age of the car! The interior is also very clean, no rips, tears, or stains. Mechanically, everything works, even all the little lights, like for the keyholes on the front doors, for example. All power options work, windows, locks, and antenna. I'm only the second owner, have had it for a little over a year. The car is originally from Central CA, so no rust at all. Originally got it for my 16 year old, but he's not so interested in it anymore. His loss! The miles are correct, has not turned over. Have the receipts for everything we did to the car, here's most of the items covered: New tires, plugs, cap and rotor, plug wires, transmission service, radiator flush, and LOF. We also replaced 4 of the 6 speakers. The ac works, could stand a recharge, but it does work. It also has been driven a week or so every month just to keep everything in working order. All in all, a very nice example of an American vehicle from that period. Clear title is in hand, vehicle sold as is, no warranty. $500.00 deposit via PayPal required within 24hrs of auction end, balance due by certified funds or cash within 7 days of auction end. Buyer is responsible for transporting vehicle. Please contact me with any questions, thanks for looking, and good luck!

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
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.
