it.Paint,minor bodywork,re-chromed bumpers and other pieces.Slowly
gathered parts and pieces here and there
to do the interior as well.I drove it very little and then replaced the tired 390 with another used 390 last summer.I loaned it to my ex and it managed to be lit on fire on the inside.The good news is I had the interior out and it did not mess with the wiring.The bad news is it bubbled the dash on the drivers corner a little.I hate seeing this car sit outside and thats what it's doing here.I'm into other projects.It's a running,driving project that comes with the majority of the parts and pieces to re-assemble.If you are a serious buyer and want more info my number is 206 234 7779.I reserve the right to end auction early.I will assist with shipping.This is an old car and I will try to remember all that it needs/had done. -390 ci engine.4bbl carb.Ford big block headers(yes the rare ones worth like $1600.)Straight pipes,no mufflers. -Rear window works but can be a bit slow -Roof shows rust but grinding/blasting and some p.o.r. should handle that. -There is some minor surface rust showing on re-chromed bumpers and wheels.Typical for a NW car that sits outside. -Astro Supremes with thin white walls -Lowered up front using heat-in the rear using blocks.Handles fine. -Needs a power steering rack -Comes with NEW or REDONE door panels,headliner,carpet,interior and exterior chrome pieces,roughly 10 yards of original vinyl for interior(if I can find it!) and EZ wiring harness. -I also have other parts like 2 grills,door and other stuff. -Brakes redone when I got the car as well.Should be good may need inspecting from sitting. -No bidding unless you have more than 10 positive transactions.No refunds.$500 cash deposit via paypal due within 24 hrs of auction close.Remainder of balance via bank wire within 7 days,Do not bid unless you have the funds please.Serious buyers only.Not into time wasting. |

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It'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 investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
