This car has been and continues to be a wonderful daily driver. The engine has less than 2,000 miles on it since it was rebuilt. Additionally, the generator and voltage regulator were replaced roughly 500 miles ago. My wife drives 100 to 150 miles a week in this Mercury. It has good tires, brakes, engine, transmission and the body is all original steel. The body is straight as an arrow and has no visible dents. We are simply car poor and this darling drew the short straw. If anything, I am about to try to talk you out of buying my wife's Mercury. I would much rather be frank with you and have you pleasantly surprised when you win the bid than for you to believe this is a 10 point show car when it isn't. If it were, I would be expecting her to fetch $12,500 or more. As you will see when you bid, the reserve is WAY, WAY, WAY lower than that.
So, here is the bad news: This car is a survivor in good condition. The chrome is original and could use refreshing. The headliner is loose on the passenger side near the rear window. The clear coat is peeling in places. Please see pictures for detail. She has obvious wear on the interior as she is a 50+ year old car and there is a small exhaust leak. A new manifold gasket is included with purchase as is a spare taillight assembly and new weather stripping in the trunk. There are some scratches in the paint and a crack in the dash cover. Original radio included but not installed. There is currently no antenna on the car. The car is beyond the mechanical limits of the odometer and will be sold as such. Again, this is a survivor. She ain't perfect, but she sure is pretty and she runs like a top! The car will be sold AS-IS with no warranty implicit nor implied.
Now for the good news: She turns heads everywhere we drive and we get nothing but compliments. The car runs as if brand new and drives like a dream for a 50+ year survivor. She is just a few weekends of work away from being a show car. By the way, this was the only year for the rocket engine rear lights. Good luck and happy bidding!!

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
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.
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
