I'm parting out a 1996 Mercury Sable 24v w/ 114k miles. I am using the engine but the rest is up for grabs including a very solid transmission. Let me know if you are interested in something, and I'm also willing to ship within reason....

ahh putting the motor in the contour?
Actually NO, but I wish I was...!!! The `96-99 Duratec has a differeng set-up that will not work in a Contour, the years of `00-06 are the ones you need.....Quote:

I was told it went 13's in the 1/4 mile pretty easy with the current set-up, and also impressed MANY people at Road America. I guess we'll see when I get it going again but it should be fun.....

i really like those cars but hate how piss slow they are stock.how much you pay for yours?
Well they're not an LS1 Camaro but 15.0(or very close) stock isn't terribly slow.....:stareQuote:

It's blue/silver (you know, those cool DMC graphics - I actually like them though). Has the bigger motor (5.4L) and I want to say either 108 or 138k on it (I haven't been in it since before winter since neither of us drive it daily). Has the tow package, brake controller, blue interior, 8 or 10-disc CD player, two captains chairs in the middle and the fold-down bench in the back. Wood detail (being a DMC). Also have all documentation from previous owner (who bought it new) since they got all the work done at one dealer whenever it was recommended - they weren't "car people" so they just did what the book told them.Quote:

Is there really enough of a following to make money on one of these? Or do a lot of people on here have them as daily drivers? I guess its the same as that generation Taurus. It just seems funny to see a Sable part-out thread.
That's really an outstanding addition to this thread. Thank you.Quote:
