Rust Free 1954 Mercury Monterey Sun Valley on 2040-cars
Oroville, California, United States
|
For sale or trade is an extraordinarily solid and completely rust free 1954 Mercury Monterey Sun Valley 2 door hard top. This is and always has been a Northern California car and has been stored inside for many years. This car is complete with all parts and many extra parts including a near new glass top. The Sun Valley has amazing potential for restoration as it has never been in any significant accident, has no bondo, no rust. The doors and windows all close tight and are still in great shape. The glass is all excellent with an exception in the drivers wing window which has a crack. The windshield and all other glass is clear and certainly usable. The trunk, undercarriage, floor boards, fender and inner wells are all rust free. Even places where you might expect some rust just over time are clean and solid. The interior is intact but removed so pictures could be taken of the floorboards. The engine turns over but I have never tried to get it started and is also complete. The brakes, while intact, do not function. The chrome is all there and mostly usable as it is and what isn't can be easily re-chromed. The body is extremely tight with good solid body lines, no door fatigue. I am not really into Mercury and bought the car because I was impressed with the condition and the well preserved and unmolested restorable shape she is in. The drive train is intact but I have no knowledge of the condition of the trans or differential except for the appearance. There are fender skirts, sun visors and many other extra parts that will go with the car. Please call 530-519-2195 or email with any questions. The car is stored inside and can remain there free of charge for a reasonable amount of time. The car comes with a clean and original Calif. title and lots of information about the car and available parts. I have seen these cars go for upwards of $70,000.00 and am told they are very rare and desirable. I will assist in shipping all I can but the cost is the responsibility of the buyer. Please check out all the pics and ask any questions prior to bidding and please have the funds available when you do bid, thanks |

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats
Wed, Sep 28 2016While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.
