CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a 1962 Mercury Monterey Convertible with working power top that is a nice classic car that was recently discovered resting in a garage and brought back to life. It is mostly original and is in turn key and drive condition, and can be enjoyed immediately upon purchase. It is also priced realistically so that a real car person can afford it. If you're looking for a restored car or a car that spent it's whole life in California this isn't it. It is your typical northeast car having had some rust issues here and there that have been addressed. The pictures provide an honest representation of the car. It is equipped with a 352 V8 & 3-speed automatic transmission. The engine was previously remanufactured. The rebuilders tag still resides on the right front of the engine block. According to the tag the engine was bored 40 thousands and rebuilt with standard size bearings. It is equipped with power steering and power brakes that both work great. The engine has received some chrome dress up, but stock air filter and stock valve covers are included with the car. The motor has been completely serviced including a fresh oil and filter change. Fresh spark plugs, new spark plug wires, new air filter, carburetor tuned and adjusted. Motor fires right up with just a touch of the key and runs well. Interior of the car is original with the exception of new carpets and arm rests. Some of the bad areas on the front seat are seam separations that can be repaired. Headlights, tail lights, parking light, back up lights, dashboard lights, and turn signals are all in working order. Wipers, heater and horn also work. The AM radio does not work. Power top works fine and is usable as is but not new. Tonneau cover is nice but the convertible top well area needs some trim attention. Please keep in mind that this is an unrestored, original 52 year old car sold in AS-IS condition. This is not a show car and it is priced as such. The priced is based on the condition of the car and the rarity. It's an opportunity for a real car person to own a rare vehicle. Only 5489, 1962 Mercury Monterey Custom Convertibles were made. If any prospective buyer has any question as to the integrity of this car I welcome and encourage the opportunity to show the car in person by appointment. I have in hand a clean Pennsylvania title for this car. The mileage on the title is stated as exempt as many older vehicles were. The speedometer shows 44,799 miles. There is no sixth digit on the speedo. The title absolutely must, and will be processed properly into the buyers name by a licensed Pennsylvania notary official. If there is any questions on any of this info please don't hesitate to call and ask. I have over 50 photos of the car should a prospective buyer request additional photos. Again call and ask for them. I have accurately and honestly described this car to the best of my knowledge, based on a complete physical inspection and servicing of the vehicle.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford 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.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill 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!
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
