This is a very nice daily driver. I'm sorry to sell this car but I need to make room. This car has spent most of it's life in California and Arizona. I have owned it for 8 years. During that time have have fixed or replaced many things, such as: Sequential tail light system now works, Trans and rear main seals have been replaced, new power top motor, new alternator, power steering pump, water pump, radiator, dashboard redone, valve job, original carb professionally rebuilt, sun visors, interior rear window m irror, points, plugs, wires, complete exhause pipes and dual mufflers, 4 new tires.The car belonged to a Snow Bird who lived up north but kept the car either in California or Arizona. The body is very straight, the paint is 6 months old. It has not even been color sanded yet although it looks great the way it is. There are two bucket seats with a console between them. There is a 8-track player and AM/FM radion. The radio works great, the 8 track is intermittent. The dash and everything associated with it is beautiful. The top and power windows work fine. It still has the original leather interior with Cougar Logo seat backs. The interior needs a bit of work. I didn't know whether to keep the original or replace it so I have done neither. It's all there. The top is tan and has a glass rear window which needs to be restitched. The cars starts every time and is fun to drive, it gets a ton of looks. If you have any questions please ask. I have included many photos.

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.
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.
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.
