1985 Mercury Capri Rs (mustang Gt) 5.0 T-top Smogged / Registered Thru 2/2015 on 2040-cars
Santa Clara, California, United States

I have my 1985 Mercury Capri RS 5.0 (5 Speed Manual Transmission) for sale. I purchased the vehicle in August of 2013 and at that time it had not been registered since 2002 in CA. I focused my attentioned on making the car CA legal first so here is what I did to make it CA legal. 1. Rebuilt Carb - $100 2. Had 3 new CA approved Cats (Catalytic Converters) professionally installed (Receipt Included - $900) - Also had them install Chrome tips. 3. Installed [All New] - oil / oil filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires (Ford Racing), Distributor (Stock, but have Billet MSD, can include), Ignition Module, Ignition Coil (Stock, have MSD), Water Pump, Speedo cable & Sensor. 4. Jetted down carb to pass smog. *Mileage is not accurate Note: I have owned two other 5.0's (84 Capri & 85 Capri) and I have to say this one has some real power... even after passing smog. The previous owner that sold me the vehicle (He owned it for 10 years) said he had been working on converting this to a race / track car. He rebuilt the engine, added a performance carb, etc..) Not sure all that was done, but this car has a punch to it. If you take it for a spin you will see what I mean. Sorry I don't know more... maybe someone with more experience will recognize some of the work that has been done. I have also done a lot of work / collected parts on the interior and exterior. Here is a list: Interior 1. New Carpet in Hatch and Cabin 2. New Headliner (Grey cloth) 3. Replaced sun visors with visors from another 85 Capri RS. 4. Refurbished and repainted entire dash. (Removed, repairs, repainted) 5. Changed speedometer from stock (85MPH to 200MPH) 6. Replaced Heater Core and Thermometer Sensor 7. Replaced Turn Signal Flasher 8. Purchased Vinyl Cases for T-Tops 9. Installed brand new Rockford Fosgate speakers (Dash and Rear) 10. Purchased / Installed NIB Stock Radio - VERY RARE - Works and Sounds Great! 11. Refurbished Door panels - new carpet on lower kick panel Exterior 1. New Handle on driver side door (Have passenger handle as well) 2. Purchased Rare Turbo Hood Scoop (Capri Specific). 3. Replaced Installed Marchel Fog Lamps (Very hard to find) 4. New Hydraulic Lifters for Hatch Parts 1. Extra set of Stock 10-hole Wheels 2. Misc Capri Specific parts (Molding, Light Markers...) Hard to find - will help with restoration. 3. I have a set of Capri Sport Style seats (Grey with Red Lining) I will include with brand new upholstery. I have listed them separate for $350 (Price of new upholstery) so they are yours if you want them if they are still available when you purchase. My wife and I just had our second child and just don't have the time to keep investing in this. Please call 408-813-7630 if you have any questions. Thanks! Nathan |

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There 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.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
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.
