I purchased this vehicle in May of 2012 with 89k miles. It came from a estate sell and needed some TLC. Being a retired master mechanic in European cars and knowing the history of the marque it seemed a perfect fit. The first thing I did was find a parts car. Various little things need attention first, gauges, lights and switches not working. Major 90,000 mile service was done. The cooling system seem to need attention when doing the service so new water pump, thermostat and any hoses that needed replacing. New cam belt and tensioner. Fuel filter felt a little heavy when changed but no history of when it was last replaced. Fuel pump seemed quieter now. Installed a short shifter and Borla muffler to give it a sportier feel. Did a major detail on the interior, seems the deceased smoked their medicine in the car and there are three small holes in the fabric. No odors now. Well the fuel pump became noisy again, filter restricted. Dropped the tank and had it cleaned and sealed. Replace the tank fuel pump and rebuilt the fuel gauge sending unit. Replace the main fuel pump and new filter. Now with good flow and pressure I'm a happy guy. Pushed it too hard and blew the headgasket. Off with it's head! New valves, roller cam ground "turbo performance" by Colt, roller rockers, performance head gasket set and milled .010 off the head. Much better. Installed Porterfield pads and shoes with new wheel cylinders. New Bilstein shocks on all four corners. New tie rod ends with the hard sway bar to lower arm bushings from Rapido Group (thanks to Russ for all his help). This summer the A/C started making noise. Re-built compressor, new drier, new hoses with heat wrap and converter to R134a. So you can see I don't patch. Everything works except for the cruise control that I never use. Got 55/100w headlights. Original radio now works, no cassettes to test player. Glass is excellent, windshield has small star in the lower middle and two wiper makes on passenger side. I figure since all this car needs is a fresh coat of paint the windshield will be removed for that. Now you may feel I lost my love for Merkurs, but that parts car I mentioned is the next project. I already sold the transmission and the motor is up for sell now. Something bigger and better going in. These cars are great to drive and that is why those of us lucky to have them, love them. This has always been a West Coast car, no rust but does have some sun damage. Upper surface of driver's door panel is the worst.

I've had something like 10 Merkurs over the years. It's time to part ways with one of my last two and second longest owned. I've been really torn on selling it for a long time now but it's time to move on and I will still have my first XR (and first car period). I'm looking to sell my 89 Black XR. We purchased this car from Chris Boyd around 1996. It was babied and in perfect condition. Still in great shape today. It has about 115k miles on it. The body is rust free and it was resprayed by a very reputable local shop in 2008? and has only had 5-7000 mi put on it since. It has seen very few winters since we purchased it (none since repaint) and has been kept in a temperature controlled garage.

I actually have all the parts for a T9 swap that I would probably be willing to include. I might be willing to deliver the vehicle within up to 3 hours of my location. Open for discussion but no guarantees.

This vehicle has been maintained professionally and has taken part at the Ford Nationals Car Show in Carlisle, Pa nine times and won 6 first and 3- 2nd prizes. There is some rust repairs recommended in the near future but is otherwise very solid. Virtually every aspect of the car has been upgraded from stock, from suspension, brakes to engine and drivetrain. Tires are almost new ( Falken 225/50/15) The vehicle has been modified and is very fast yet reliable and very fun to drive. I owned this car since 1988. The best feature of the car is it's strong engine which is highly modified. (Approx. 350 HP) It is a very good looking car that still turn heads.
