This is a 1994 mercury Capri convertible The 1994 had the lowest production numbers and is one of the best years for the Capri it has Duel airbags 4 wheel disc brakes , this car has a one year only color of Cobalt blue this color was only offered in 1994 in a bright sunlight it has a purple hue to it real rich color . This car runs real nice has good oil pressure and the engine is real peppy,It has an automatic transmission but I think it needs work or a rebuild as it hesitates to shift from 2nd to 3rd it is still drive able but the tranny will need service the car has had a previous repaint but it was a low end job as there is runs in the paint. The body is rust free but does have dings and some minor dents , the interior is solid and clean not bad for a 20 year old car all the gauges work as well as the windows the A/C does not work it turns on but is not cold un-like the early model capris the 1994 has the new R134 Freon so its a cheap fix to repair.it has an aftermarket radio C/D player the radio works but I could not get the c/d to work The convertible top is a couple years old and is nice and solid these cars are excellent on gas and real fun to drive the 1994 year is the most collectible year .The car has a clear title it is Not registered at this time if you are a California resident I am selling this car without a California smog cert.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A 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.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
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.
