This 1982 Mercury Lynx LN7 is a low mileage and fantastically preserved coupe that also has a terrific backstory. It's the highly documented and loaded rare coupe that delivers a ton of classic car fun...all for an affordable price.
The story that we are told on this one is that Mrs. Bromberg of New England accompanied her husband to the Chicago Auto Show in 1981. Mercury was there debuting the upcoming 1982 LN7 sports coupe. It was a truly hot item for them because this was being talked about as the first personal two-seater since the original Thunderbird. Mercury even ran a promotion. They filled a coupe with spark plugs, and the closest guess to how many would receive a new LN7. Mrs. Bromberg was the winner, and so she got to fully spec out the car she wanted. And because she was in New England, she even ordered it from the famous Tasca dealer group (it gives this Mercury a hint of muscle car connection.) Mrs. Bromberg checked all the big boxes on the options list, including the TRX phone dial wheels that give this Mercury a hint of classic Porsche style. It also seems that she coveted the prize, and mainly only drove the grandkids for ice cream in her Mercury. It was even stored for the harsh New England winters. And when Mrs. Bromberg sold her coupe many years later, it went to an LN7 collector. So this one remains highly original in every aspect, right down to the Bright Red paint.
The idea of the LN7 was to deliver a Mercury-level of individual luxury, and so this grand prize has some terrific features inside. It includes options like bucket seats, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, full gauges w/tach, cruise control, a three-speed automatic transmission, and a sunroof. There are even provisions for factory air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) It's all presented with the kind of high-level preservation you'd expected in a cherished car that has averaged well under 500 miles annually.
The engine bay has the same time capsule quality as the rest of the car. So it's hard to believe that this 1.6-liter motor is anything but the original powerhouse. This motor fires up readily, and it runs with the gusto of a well-respected machine. The motor may not seem very large today, but it was a product of its time. A personal car like the LN7 was made to be more sprightly and fun. The power is over the front wheels in this front-wheel-drive machine, and so the traction is always good. The fully-independent suspension makes it quite nimble, and you even have power brakes with discs up front.
A cherished and special car like this comes with excellent documentation to fully tell its story. This includes the dealer invoice, original warranty card, owner's manual, title documentation, maintenance records, and a Marti Report. The LN7 was only in production for two years, and so it will be hard to find a better-preserved example with a better history. So don't miss your chance, call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
