1963 Mercury Monterey w/ Breezway
back window / 4dr Hardtop

this one 1 of Mercurys Top of the Line models for 1963...
with a really cool optional power back window that slides
up and down, and honestly you are very aware of it while
driving around its so unique.

Some quick history about the car in the last few yrs. This car
has been here in Tucson pretty much its whole life and has
been a daily driver for a lady up till just a few months ago.
BUT about 3 months ago, there was a small engine fire under
the hood. The body was very clean for its ago, but when the
firetruck showed up to put out the fire, they put a nice dent in
the top of the RF fender to make an area to spray into to put
the fire out. The insurance company after the fire said the
car was totalled, so the title then was branded Salvage. It was
far from totalled, but thats not how the insurance company
saw it. But the last owner got paid, kept the car and we bought
it, hence the reason for the title like it is. Turns out while
repairing it and getting it back on the road, we found the rear
float had come apart, causing the carb to flood out, which in
turn we think this is what caused the fire.

To get it up and running faster, we ran new appropriate wires
from the firewall to the starter solenoid, the distributer and
back so the car would start again using the key like normal.
We installed a new carb float and new distributer, cap, rotor
plugs and wires. Within a few minutes the car fired right up and
runs very well actually. The brakes need to be bled some as
I can feel some air in the lines (going to try to do that this week)
But the car has recently had some brake work done too and
the PB do feel good. Because of the wiring not all fixed, the brake
lights are not working as is the back window at the moment.
But I did find a decent used harness for under the hood, and it will

come with the car. If I have time Ill try to get it installed.
I also noticed that there seems to be a small leak in one of the
PS hoses. PS works well, but that hose will need to be replaced soon.

This car runs so well and fun to drive, I almost hope it doesnt
sell, because Id love to keep it and drive it around for the holidays
and use it to go looking at Christmas Lights with the family
this holiday !!

Great color combo : 60s cool Aqua and green colors.
Shows 103k on the odometer and it could be original.

DRIVETRAIN: original 390 4v motor runs and sounds good.
The C6 trans works in all the forward gears, but Reverse
does Not seem to be functional, not exactly sure why.
Engine bay still a little dirty from the fire, so it will need
some cleaning and detailing to make it look nicer. AC all
connected and could possibly work, didnt try it yet but
the last owner said her dad did do work on the AC before
Summer and it worked then. Original rear end with 3:00
gears has no issues.

INTERIOR: for its age looks unrestored and better then most
Az cars this old mostly due to the fact its been in a garage
most of its life here in Az. If it had a new headliner and carpet
it would be almost done for a fun driver.
Dash light look great during night driving , not dim some
older cars and think they are all stock still.
The stock AM Radio works well too and fun to listen to
oldies stations when cruising around.
LF dr flat window cracked, and needs new rollers
for the window. Dr side rear side window off the tracks and
will need at least new rollers or possible regulator. Other 2
windows on the PS are in much better shape.
Power sliding rear back window did work before the wiring
fire, but Im going to try to power it up this week so I can roll
it up and down with the factory switch.
All the chrome inside the car, along the dash is in Amazing
Shape for its age, check out the 150+ pics !!!

Trunk is very clean and original, although the carpet trunkmat
has oil stains on it.

SUSPENSION: just all original Mercury stuff intact and feels ok.
Works fine as is for a daily driver, tires arent too bad either..
also have a receipt in the glove box for an alignment done in
the last yr. The term Land Yacht comes to mind, as it glides
over speedbumps like a old big Merc !
Maybe for a more modern look, toss on some more modern
20" wheels. We actually have a full set available as an
OPTION if there is a winner and they want a set.
Near the bottom of all the pics Ill post a pic of the American
Racing wheels we have available for the car with tires.
Both are new in the box wheels and tires.

BODY: very rust free and straight sheetmetal front to back
BUT you can see some areas that have had some what I call
minor repairs / dents fixed over the yrs and near the rear
there is a new dent on the dr side (see pics)
Floors are very SOLID from under neath

the car, only saw a few small areas that got some rust.
Its very obvious this car has been here in the dry AZ Climate
most if not all its life by the lack of rust on the body.
All the lower areas of the car are very very solid and dont
believe they have ever needed any repairs. (see pics)

EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE
THE PICS BELOW SPEAK VOLUMES but Im sure I may of
overlooked some stuff.

Check out over 100 pics below, be patient it may take a
minute or 2 for them to all load.

SOME NICE OPTIONAL 20" American Racing wheels and Falken Tires

Just above are the OPTIONAL 20" rims and tires we are offering
with the car for an extra $1400 read to bolt on.

THESE CARS ARE ON THE RISE DUE TO THE FACT THAT
THEY ARE GETTING MUCH HARDER TO FIND..
Affordable when compared to most of the collector cars.
Az cars are well known for being the best cars
to buy for a quaility restoration project. How many restored cars

Our older cars are more
like time capsules most of the country isnt use use to seeing.
If it doesnt meet reserve, email me anyways if still interested.

Probably the BEST represented Mercurys on Ebay.
Shows you all the good as well as any bad.
If you treat yourself to buying one of our cars,
youll never buy a bucket again from anyone !!
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor
intensive which means overall cost is less too !
With less horrid surprises later on.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?

Sun, May 22 2016

These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions. Internet, what do you think? Related Video: This article by Zach Doell originally appeared on Boldride. Design/Style Chevrolet Mercury Auctions Coupe Special and Limited Editions Classics eBay rat rod
