Up for sale is a ONE owner 1976 Grand Marquis with the 360 hp (268 kW) 460 big-block V8 with 71xxx miles, gold color, painted white roof (the vinyl was taken off). The car was not cleaned of washed in the last 20 years. A slight rinse with a hose just to get the dust off, that's all the prep work that was done to it. What you get is a true original. I’m selling this for a friend who bought this car NEW back in 76. He’s old and doesn’t know how to work eBay so I’m doing it for him. He was planning to keep this car forever but the building he lives in is going to close off the covered garages and make doors so this Marquis won’t fit in there because it’s too big. Sad, but it has to find a new home. Runs a drives GREAT, tires are good… it’s ready to hit the road pretty much anywhere! The car spent its life in Vancouver BC under a covered garage. Didn’t see much rain. Has some rust spots (see pictures). It was never restored, pretty much all original. It was immaculately maintained. He had the transmission serviced in 86 and they gave him free yearly service as long as he owned the car… so every year he went in and had his free oil etc. replaced. Just had a new carburetor, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap & fuel pump put in. Didn’t really need a new carb, just needed to be adjusted, but he’s one of those people that just tells the mechanic “do what needs to be done, don’t care how much it costs”. He took the AC belt off as he never used it but the belt is in the trunk. Also there are a ton of extra spare parts. He would always go to the wrecking yards and look for something he might need in the future. Like an extra grille, headlight bezels, moldings, exhaust mufflers, interior panels, 5 LIKE NEW hubcaps (he found in 1991 I can tell because they’re wrapped in news paper from that year), fuel line & oil filters, emblems, hoses, misc. nuts, bolts and gaskets, new rubber bushings, tons of bulbs & fuses of all sorts, gas caps, headlights… and who knows what else. Has a bunch of maintenance records, original manual along with the original tool case which he got with the new car! A down payment via PayPal must be made within 24 hours. Total due within 3 days after the auction ends via bank wire, US Bank, Chase money order (must clear before pickup) or cash! The car is registered and has collector plates in BC Canada and will need to be imported if sold in the USA (one simple form needs to be filled out). The car is currently parked in Blaine WA which is a block away from the Canadian border so you could import it the same day when you come to pick it up. You won't have to drive to Canada, just to the USA side of the border. You are welcome to come look and inspect it before the auction ends, after that no ifs and buts… just the cash. Buyer needs to take care of shipping. I will drive it for free up to 150 miles away from zip code 98230 to a shipping dock if needed. Grab this once in a lifetime find and don’t let it slip away! NO RESERVE If you have any questions? Please ask before the auction ends. Thanks and GOOD LUCK!!! PS: Video available of the car running to show how smooth the engine runs and smoke-free exhaust via e-mail.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
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.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
