Local Buyer fell through, so here's another shot at this very rare, very cool 1962 Mercury Monterey Custom Coupe.   

If your looking to restore a classic that's very unique and not the typical car at a show, then this is it. As much as I'd love to bring this car back to it's former glory, I'm buried in another project that I need to fund. The car fires right up, but needs a few things to get it on the road safely. Here's some details: 

Clean CA Title 
Current registration 
Original A/C Car with all components still in place!!!!!!
Original 352ci Mercury Motor/Automatic Trans ***Starts Right Up!*** I have video of car running. 
New Spark Plugs
New Battery
New Fuel Filter
New Plug Wires
New Cap/Rotor 
New Intake Filter 
New Fuel Pump
New Fuel Tank 
Power Brakes
Glasspack Dual Exhaust  
20" Boss Chrome Rims with 35 series tires in good shape 
All Original Exterior Trim Present, minus mirrors and antenna 
Most of the trim in good shape 
Body Straight 

Comes with new, but not put on yet: 
4 - new headlights 
New Headlight harness 
New Tail light lens
New Window Weatherstrip Seals
New Window Felts 
NOS key blanks 
New Truck lock cylinder 
New reproduction manual 

The car is definitely still a project that will need restoration, but won't take much to get it on the road, while you restore. Currently it fires right up, will drive and stop, but needs minor carb tuning, new cooling hoses, belts, brake adjusting, etc. Does have some minor rust here and there, but nothing extreme. Surface rust on the floor pans, with a couple of small (Half Dollar) sized hole in drives side pan that will need to be patched, small hole (Penny Size) on passenger pan. Same with the trunk. Rust bubbles on passenger wheel well and behind bumpers. Surface rust around the exterior, but nothing that can't be sanded and sealed.  I've tried to include picture of the pans. All pics, except the a couple of the motor we're take 05/12/14. The motor pics were taken two weeks prior, before the fuel pump was replaced.   

Needs full interior restoration. Interior is all there, but will need to be redone. Overall this car is definitely going to be a very high dollar, rare classic that turns heads as it sits now. If your looking for something different that will set you apart from the crowd, then this is it. Perfect build that the whole family can enjoy.

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.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
