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....

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.....

I've been looking for a `00-06 for some time but can't find anything REAL nice for under $900, was hoping to spend a little less. However, I will eventually have to bite the bullet and get one because I need to get it going again.....

It all good, the thread just keeps on getting bumped up anyways.....:goof

The motor in the Contour is already a 3.0L Duratec swap, that went bad. The factory bearings can't hold up to serious constant RPM's and fail, which I believe is what happened to it. I bought it that way and actually need to find out exactly what went wrong, but it leaked a ton of oil so I'm guessing it put a hole in the block.....

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.....

Well they're not an LS1 Camaro but 15.0(or very close) stock isn't terribly slow.....:stare

Mines a `00 with 36k and a legit $25k worth of mods (if you were to have them done), I thought $5500 was a pretty good dealing considering.....

If you ask me a intercooled-turbo is the only way to go, and that'll put you at 400hp with a decent set-up.....

Once I get it going it will be up for sale, unfortunately. Would really rather keep it but with the move and all coming in 6 months the less 'stuff' the better.....

You should buy it, and I would actually be willing to sell it for what I paid before I start fixing it. If I fix it it'll be eating your SHO for lunch on the track :devil...!!! I'm just talking smack, I love your SHO.....

If I could sell the tow vehicle ('98 E-150 DMC Conversion Van), I would be all over that. But that thing is going to be a ***** to sell. ):

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.

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.

Sorry. I was just wondering? I part out a lot of Probes and the only reason it makes sense is because of Probetalk.com. Is there a sablefans.org? That's all I was getting at.

Well I'm not looking to make money on it from the parts only. I bought it for what I need and if I can sell anything else off of it great, if not then it all goes to the crusher.....

Cool, thanks for the information. I was aware that the older body style had a large following but I did not know there was a large following for this gen.
