1971 Mercury Capri Base 1.6l on 2040-cars
Galloway, Ohio, United States
|
1971 Mercury Capri with 30,000 miles, This car spent the last 40+ years in Pensacola , Fl, with its original owner prior to my
acquisition in March 2014. It is my
understanding that it was stored in a carport in partial sun and this caused
some interior damage although serviceable and not bad for 43 years, all of the
paint is original and shows no sign of ever having any bodywork. Destroyed carpet was removed to show the rust
free flooring. The rear D-windows have been upgraded to the drilled glass from
a newer model keeping the windows from leaving the vehicle at high speeds. This
is still the best Capri I have seen in the East in more than 20 years. The car
has several rust spots in very accessible areas including the trunk lid. It has
removable surface rust over many body panels but has virtually no rust in the
following hard to repair areas: A and B pillars, trunk, under hood, floor pan,
battery tray, hood, spring attachment areas and inner wheel wells. This is the most solid and complete car I have
found with all of its trim, great bumpers with near perfect bumper guards. The
car currently has a clear Ohio title. The car has not been registered since
2012 and I suspect it set many years before being bought out for one season
(grandson?). A tach and radio are installed in the passenger side under-dash
compartment. The car is complete and original
with nearly everything. Will provide
specific pictures of any desired body location. The condition of the engine
and std tranny are unknown although complete. Only serious bidders, must
provide $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end and full balance due within
7 days. Winner is responsible for shipping and transportation. |

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

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.
