Hey guys -
I'm Nick. I've been on the taurusclub.com (moderator) website for almost a decade, and on taurusowners.com (admin) since it started as "Bull Geek". You can take a wild guess - yes I know 'em and drive 'em
First car I bought was the 2000 listed in my signature. I then bought an 87 sedan 3.0V6 for $100. It was too far gone to save, so off to the scrapyard. I then bought the 87 wagon 3.0V6. Last year I bought a misdiagnosed 97 V8SHO for cheap and had the cams welded. I've learned to like V8s! Unfortunately, I finally figured out the trans problem just recently in the 87 wagon, coupled with leaks that have reoccured after fixing things over and over, it's getting too expensive - so it's off to a new home in TN in a few weeks to a guy that operates a junkyard.
Enter the 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Colony Park. Friend (who has been a mechanic for 30+ years) was selling this car cheap. It's the first car I've ever bought with body rot. It has 3 spots on the body that need repair (side down low opposite spare tire, another next to driver tail light, another in wheel well arches up front. And 1 small spot on the frame. Ohio car until early 04 when it came down to Columbia, SC. Hot heat, cold air, tinted windows, aftermarket CD player w/decent speakers up front. Minor exhaust leak and burns a little oil. Solid car though. Pretty much turn key and go - minus the tires it needs. Mileage is est. to be around 173K or so (broken gear sets). I have replacement odometer and trip odometer gear kits in the mail.
