Up for auction I have a rare find, 1976 Mercury Capri II. I'm selling it for a friend of mine that is unable to work on it anymore due to recent health issues. The body is in excelent condition for the age, It will need very little if any body work, There are no dents to speak of, Its a very solid car. There is a small hole in the floor board that looks like was made from the drivers seat mount worn through about 2 inches by 3 inches. The front seat is not from this car and is a pass side seat from an unknown car, This is how I got it and I have no other front seats, There only appears to be some surface rust around the rear window and the cheapo paint job is chipping from that area it looks worse in the pic then it really is. The bumpers are missing and I got the car that way. The wheels are off of another car again unknown donor, the tires look to be in good shape great tread but would not trust on freeway. I drove this car a week ago and it runs very well, no rattles, knocks and does not smoke, It runs pretty smooth and pulls very hard just like the true german 2.8's should. I did light up the tires and got it sideways in second gear. (testing the trans & clutch) I got it up to 70 mph very easily but it does have the standard high speed wobble that the capri's were known for at over 45 mph and lightly hit brakes (needs front end bushings and maybe struts). The heater core is not connected as it probably leaked, The brakes are very good and it stops nice, I'm also including a new set of pads just as I got with car, There is a spare tire, The car does have true factory dual exhaust with origional cats intact and does not appear to have any leaks, The dash needs fixed as in pics as well as the steering wheel, the steering seems nice and tight with minimal play at all, The transmission and rearend feel very tight without noises, the shifter is a little sloppy not too bad, I looked at it and it just needs linkage bushings redone, The glass is all intact but this is arizona and all the rubber is in bad shape and has shrunk from age so the glass is not being held in very secure, Windshield is cracked. Now for the Bad!!! haha the starter is no good I took it out its sitting in my shop and will need replaced, they are $80 at O'Reilly auto parts. I have been push starting the car without any probs. If the bidding gets to a decent price I will consider buying a starter. If you have any questions please ask before bidding is in its last day as I do not watch the auctions or my emails as I have other things going on. If you are in the phoenix area you are more then welcome to come and look at the car you will not be dissapointed. I'm listing any and all items I see with car and I do my very best to list all of them. This is how I got the car from my friend and this is how its being sold. This is a No reserve auction and the high bidder wins so do not wait till the last minute to bid as it may be over before you get a bid in!!!!

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

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.
