I have my 1955 Mercury Monetery forsale. This car is all original with original 292ci "y-8" engine and merc-o-matic 3 speed automatic transmission. It's a great car, could be used for daily driving or could be restored to showroom standards. Previous owner has done lots of work to the vehicle making it a great car. I have all records of what has been done to it, well over 10K in restoration costs. The engine is its original 292 motor with brand new Holley 4-barrel carb on it. The motor was completely disassembled and rebuilt in 2003 at 127,000 miles, it has 138,000 now. Engine was rebuilt by a shop here in Jacksonville. Runs pretty well, its quiet with no abnormal sounds from engine and runs strong. Previous owner installed an alternator in place of the generator, the old generator will be included with the vehicle. The transmission was also rebuilt in 2003 here in Jacksonville florida. This was done at 127,000 shortly after engine was rebuilt. Transmission shifts great and has no fluid leaks. The interior was re-done in 2001, new seat covers, door panels, headliner, and carpet. Seats and head liner look great with no flaws at all, the carpet has faded a bit but nothing torn or missing. The car has 4 wheel drum brakes, power steering, aftermarket ac(needs a charge), the blower blows on all speeds and the compressor clutch engages, just needs a vacuum and re-charge and should blow cold. Two years ago a new rebuilt hydraulic ram was installed for the power steering. Considering the car is original and 60 years old the body is in good condition with no major rust. The frame and the floor pans are solid. Some rust bubbles behind the wheels and some bubbles around the trim on the roof. All structure points on the car are solid. The trunk floor is solid, no rust. Some of the chrome trim has pitted over the years as well Car is sold as-is with no warranty. Need a depsosit of 500.00 within 24 hours of winning the auction and car needs to be paid in full within 5 days of auction. Please contact me with any questions, i will aid in helping the buying with shipping if need be. Thanks

Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump

Tue, May 2 2017

A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
