Up for Auction is a really nice 1960 Mercury Monterey Black Convertible. This was my dad’s car and he had restored it back in the 80’s. It is still very much presentable and shows very well. I have had it for the past 10 years and had it gone through mechanically 4 years ago. At that time all new brakes were put on as well as hoses replaced that were aging. I take the car out a couple of times a year and have put less than 500 miles on it since my dad had passed away.

I can tell you that when I do take it out it's a real head turner. People approach me at gas stations and other locations were I have stopped and just want to look it over and talk about it and times gone past. It is truly a piece of Americana and everyone seems to want to take it in. This is a perfect Sunday driver that isn't going to win you first place awards at the shows but will win you a lot of fans on the road.

My dad was a great mechanic and an amateur restorer. I remember growing up in the 60’s and 70’s watching him work all winter long in a small single car detached garage on many of his projects through the cold Northeast winters. His first I remember was an 1948 Ford convertible that he would have to drive into the garage with it close to one side so he would have room enough to work on the other side around 4 feet. He would do all the mechanical and body work including painting. Later he aspired to build a 2 car garage were he continued his passion for restoration and this is were he restored this beautiful car. My dad was also a founding member of the Reminiscers car club in our local town. I loved my dad and this car, however it is time for someone else to enjoy his work and this beautiful car. It comes with a current New York State inspection. Following are some specifications I was able to find regarding the car.

From the inner Drivers door metal plate the following codes and what they represent:

0 = 1960

W = Place of manufacture Wayne

35 = 2 Door Convertible

N = Engine 383

76A = Body Type Convertible

A = Color Black

18E = May 18th Manufacture Date

7R = Transmission Standard

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I would be more than happy to show you the car if local or entertain a representative of yours.

Shipping costs and arrangements are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Please see my feedback and Bid with confidence and remember to Bid to WIN!

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

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.
