Mount Angel, Oregon, United States

You are bidding on this very nice 1956 mercury Monterey.
This car is a prime example of an unrestored survivor car in excellent driver quality condition.

The car was purchased new in Eugene Oregon, has been in the Oregon Valley it's whole life, and is a rust free car.

As stated This car has never been restored, it has had a repaint in the mid 1980's back to original color.
The paint is showing some age and minor flaws but is still driver quality.

The original Y-block 312 fires up and idles so nice and smooth and the original Merc-O-Matic transmission shifts flawlessly.
The engine and transmission were both overhauled back to factory spec in 1995.
(documentation included)

The odometer reads 90,435 and is believed to be correct mileage.  Actual mileage of the engine/transmission since the overhaul is 1,199.

The interior of the car is original aside from a door panel repair in 1994 (documentation also included) and is in very good condition for being 58 years old.

There are no patch panels or cancer on this car, it is solid and rust free! 

It has spent it's entire life in a climate controlled garage and has been very well cared for.

The tires and exhaust are new, they were both replaced last year.

There are only 3 things that do not work on this car, and they are,
the radio, the clock and the speedometer needle has fallen off and is still inside the speedometer, although the odometer still works.

All interior and exterior lights work properly, as well as all gauges (aside front the previously mentioned absent speedometer needle)

The car runs and drives amazingly well!

All glass is scratch free and in good condition aside from some very minor bubbles around the outer edges on the drivers side wing window and door window.

Registration is current and tags are good to 07/2015

This is a great classic, driver quality car

If you have any questions please contact me at 503 851 3385

I reserve the right to end the auction at any time due to the car also being for sale locally.

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
