15 years ago, I picked up this non running Convertible. I attempted to repair as time allowed but had no luck. As I got busier, I parked it in the back of my shop and looked at it less and less. 2 years ago I took another look at it and found the simple solution. Its always simple but easily overlooked. I started to drive the car occasionally and slowly serviced the entire car. Flushed the fuel tank and lines, flushed the brake lines and replaced all the brakes, replaced the water pump, thermostat, timing belt and seals. I replaced the tires last September. The A/C is still running cold with the original R12 freon. The body is all original. No accidents. I had the front and rear bumpers repainted as they are plastic and had faded. The paint on the body itself is still all original. The paint work was done in September last year along with a installation of a new convertible soft top. Scored this Spring when I found a hard top in excellent condition. This was painted to match 1 month ago.
The miles are the actual and original miles.
The XR2 Turbo has been in the desert Southwest and has 0% rust.
This is a fun car to drive. Fuel sipping, great MPG car for the daily driver or lightweight powerful turbo kicked Rally car for the weekend.
I have set a reasonable reserve. The car is for sale locally and reserve the right to end auction early if the reserve is not hit. I can and have helped with delivery in the past but all expenses are the responsibility of the buyer.
Please E-mail any questions or needs before auction ends. I will return calls if you leave a number.
Happy bidding!

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These 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.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
