1973 Mercury Montego with 37,000 original miles It sure looks like this sweet early 70's luxury muscle car has been living in a time capsule with only 37,000 original miles. This golden beauty was purchased from an elderly couple that no longer drove the car. It was basically stored in a garage for virtually its entire 40 year existence. It would be very hard to find a classic car with such low mileage at whatever nominal amount this beauty ends up selling for. Anyone who looks at this car can tell that the mileage is original. This car was factory undercoated when it was brand new, and it was always well taken care of by the original owners. It is hard to find a car with the floors, frame, and trunk in this condition on a 40 year old car. There is barely any noticeable rust on the body except for what is visible in the pictures. The chrome is all extremely nice, and the front bumper has its original bumper guards. All of the rubber gaskets and seals are all in very good condition. This car has all of its original panels, so everything opens and closes like new. You simply don't see these olds classics with their original split vinyl tops like this. The factory decals and markings are all still in their original locations. They just don't make cars like this anymore. This is a wonderful candidate for a Montego GT re-creation. All the new owner would need is the scooped hood, and a sweet 429, and this car would look absolutely incredible being upgraded to the next level. However with the original numbers matching straight six cylinder engine, you can save on gas, and maintain the originality of this antique vehicle. The original radio was replaced with an AM/FM Cassette player that works well, although it looks like it fit right into the factory opening, so the dash was never cut up. If the next owner would like to put in a factory AM/FM I'm sure the dash would still look perfect. There are no cracks in the dash pad. The drivers side door has the sport mirror painted to match the body. This car steers very nicely with power steering and power brakes. Both the horn and the lighter still work. The original owner's manual is included in the glove compartment. In fact I can't think of anything that doesn't work. The interior is in very nice condition with sporty high back bucket seats in the front, and the back seat looks like it may only have been used once or twice in the last 40 years. All the seat belts are there, and even the shoulder belts. The headliner looks like brand new. All the glass is in nice condition with no cracks or chips. This car just had a new fuel pump and line installed last week, plus a brand new battery. There is a matching set of four old school B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A steel belted radials mounted on a set of four Magnum 500 wheels with all four centers, and all four beauty trim rings. It seems like the original bias ply full size spare tire is brand new unused, and still holding air. The original jack and crow bar are also in the trunk, so if there is a mishap on the road, you can be on your way safely with a quick tire change. The original steel wheels and the matching set of factory original hubcaps all in good shape will be included in the trunk. This cool old Merc should be all set for a full summer of pleasure cruising, or I really believe it could be used as an everyday driver. It should be very reliable for many years to come. This would make a great second car, or an awesome larger safe car for that new teenage driver in the family. If there were ever a collision with a newer car, I'm fairly certain the other car would lose. Fly in and drive home after the auction is over. General Mitchell Airport in South Milwaukee is less than a half hour away, and I would be more than happy to pick up the winning bidder if they would like. I also have a wonderful retired couple that will deliver cars relatively inexpensive within the tri-state area. I would be happy to pass along their information. This is a prime opportunity to become part of the wonderful world of the muscle and classic car community at a reasonable price. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide has the base model 1973 Mercury Montego listed at $10,300 in high condition $6,100 in average condition, and $3,175 in the lowest possible condition, meaning a car that needs a complete restoration. I have to say this car appears in much better than average condition in my eyes, so whatever this car sells for it will be a sweet deal. This Mercury has great investment potential!! All classic cars have shown to consistently appreciate in value with almost every quarter. This is a great car to take to the local car shows in your area to be part of the excitement. I try to list everything I can think of when I describe a car, but if there is anything you feel I may have missed, please ask as many questions as you like. I pride myself in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. I haven't seen one of these on the road in over 20 years, so chances are the new winner will own the only one anywhere around their neighborhood. After winding down from a nice Memorial Day weekend don't forget to place your bid by 8pm Eastern time, 7pm Central time, or 5pm Pacific time on Monday evening. This is a "No Reserve" auction, so it will be sold to the highest bidder. Hall of Fame Harriet is not included with the purchase. Thank you for viewing my auction! Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

This Ford F-150 might have a Land Rover turbodiesel V6
Thu, Dec 17 2015Our spy photographers just caught this Ford F-150 driving around Dearborn, wearing camouflage around the bed – not so unusual near Ford's headquarters. What's interesting with this particular mule is that it might be packing a Jaguar-Land Rover turbodiesel V6. As with the Super Duty, the F-150 prototype pictured here sports a Venturi exhaust tip popping out the side of the rear bumper behind the wheel, which – along with the sound reported by our shutterbug – suggests that it's burning oil up front. That could mean Ford has found another application for the 3.2-liter, five-cylinder Power Stroke diesel that it just federalized for the Transit van. However our sources suggest what the mule is actually powered by the 3.0-liter Lion V6 diesel that Jaguar Land Rover – once subsidiaries in Ford's Premier Automotive Group – is bringing over for the Td6 models of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The engine produces a respectable 254 horsepower and a healthy 443 pound-feet of torque, and is tipped to be mated to the same ten-speed automatic transmission as the new Raptor. That could give the F-150 the kind of fuel economy and muscle it would need to challenge the likes of the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and the heavier-duty Nissan Titan with the Cummins engine. With gas prices as low as they are, however, and sales of diesel-powered vehicles lagging, Ford could just be trying to keep up with the competition by offering a light-duty diesel pickup. With its lightweight aluminum body, the diesel F-150 could even surpass the Duramax diesel-powered Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon for frugality at the pumps, according to Mark Williams of PickupTrucks.com. He told Autoblog that, "it makes perfect sense for Ford to do a diesel. It seems like everyone is pushing them to do a Ranger, but if they can get the F-150 to push 30 mpg it can challenge the Ram Ecodiesel and even the Colorado Duramax." Reached for comment, Ford spokesman Mike Levine sent us the following statement: "We do not speculate about future products. While diesel is a solution, it is not the solution. EcoBoost offers the ideal combination of performance and fuel economy that over 60 percent of F-150 customers are choosing."

J.D. Power study identifies top seats for your tush
Tue, Aug 29 2017File under News your fanny can use: The seating systems in the Ford Escape and Edge, the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Cadenza, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Tundra received top marks in a new J.D. Power study on seating and seat belt quality and satisfaction. The J.D. Power 2017 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study asked more than 77,000 new owners and lessees of 2017 model-year cars and light trucks to rate their vehicle's seats and seat belts within the first 90 days of taking ownership. The survey is broken up into seven vehicle segments and scored on total seat problems per 100 within each segment, with awards presented to the seating system supplier. Canadian auto supplier Magna won three of seven first-place awards for its seating systems in the A3, Escape and Edge. Ireland-based Adient got top marks for its seats in the Cadenza and Cayenne. Lear Corp. won for the Cruze, and Avanzar Interior Technologies scored highest for seats in the Tundra. J.D. Power says its study is intended for automakers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information to be used in developing and marketing seating systems. "But the results are just as interesting to a consumer audience," the company says. "After all, some drivers spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel, and it's helpful to know which vehicles offer the most comfortable seats for those long commutes." Ain't that the truth. Ford was the only automaker whose seat systems, both manufactured by Magna, received top honors in two segments: the Escape for mass-market compact SUV and the Edge for mass-market midsize/large SUV. J.D. Power says it used 22 attributes to measure seat quality, three measures of seat belt quality and 12 to measure satisfaction. Awards were presented to the seating suppliers.
