This vehicle is a true untouched survivor car. Purchased in the summer of 2011 from the original owner who had special ordered the car new from Castrucci Mercury in Cincinnati, OH in April 1978. Most of the mileage was accumulated driving to and from Florida and Ohio. The car has never been in snow, never been in an accident, never been smoked in and has been garaged it's entire life. The car is well equipped with full power (Steering, brakes, cruise, widows, seats, door locks, antenna) and everything works even the factory clock and rear window heater! Powered by Mercury's largest engine a 460 C.I. V8. The car has the original full vinyl top and the original silver paint shines like new. The interior is a dark red leather in perfect condition with no wear, tears or cracks anywhere. The rear seat was only used a few times, and the cigar/cig lighters still work! Original spare tire is still in the trunk with the factory markings and has never been taken out of its mount. The car also has the working original AM/FM stereo. The car was rustproofed by Mercury before it was delivered. Other than regular maintenance the only things that have been replaced are the tires and battery (approx 3 years ago) and the A/C was converted to 134A (still have original A/C compressor too). Also have the original books/manuals, factory build sheet, warranty card etc...This car is ready to go and can be driven anywhere. It has had excellent care and maintenance and I have tried to describe the condition to the best of my ability. As one would expect of a completely original 34 year old car there are some nicks and scratches from being driven over the years but the car is truly in amazing condition. The vehicle is being sold as-is with no warranty of any kind and I encourage any interested parties to ask questions and inspect the vehicle. Thank you for your interest. Have more photos if interested please email.
 

This car is amazing. It is so big and fun to drive, it literally feels like riding on a cloud down the street.  

Dont hesitate to email with any questions. 

The car is in Traverse City, Michigan at this time.

Icon and Stealth EV are building an electric Derelict Mercury

Mon, May 14 2018

Icon, a company known for its high-quality restomod vehicles, is building another Derelict, this one a 1949 Mercury coupe. While the fact Icon is building another one of its sleeper hot rods with patina isn't the most shocking, what's under the hood is. The company has teamed up with Stealth EV to turn this latest Derelict into an electric car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car was shown in the above Twitter post with video. The exterior is just what you'd expect from an Icon Derelict. It's solid but with a weathered finish. And even as the guy from Stealth EV approaches the car, it looks like it has a V8 under the hood. But as he explains, there's actually the two motor controllers and half of a Tesla battery pack under there. It's just that they've all been given some classy looking metal casings and mounted to look like a V8. Apparently the motors themselves are in the transmission tunnel. The Stealth EV rep says it uses a pair of AM Racing motors. Depending on which motor controllers the companies are using, those motors could produce as much as 700 horsepower. Power will go to the rear wheels and no transmission will be used, making it direct drive. It will have a limited-slip differential, and the whole car sits on an Art Morrison chassis with independent suspension. This actually isn't the first electric Icon, nor the first developed with Stealth EV. Before this, the companies created a totally awesome electric Volkswagen Thing. That little truck made much less power at 180 horses, but it was also a way smaller and lighter vehicle. Related Video:

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
