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

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
