1951 Mercury Coupe on 2040-cars
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
|
So, I thought the only thing better than having one 1951 Mercury, was having two, but things have come up, and I need to sell one. This Merc has been in a couple different barns most of its life and was last driven in 1961. It was originally a North Dakota car. It has a rebuilt never run flathead motor, a rebuilt 3 speed with overdrive trans, a rebuilt starter, and many new brake parts. I have over $3000 in receipts for this car. It needs small rust repairs behind wheel in both front fenders, driver side front floor pan patch, both outer rockers(passenger side is just smashed in), driver side inner rocker(I have a 26'' piece of inner rocker I'll give with the car), trunk pan patch, driver quarter panel needs patch in front of wheel and needs dent fix behind wheel, passenger quarter panel needs very small repair in front of wheel, front bumper is dented in passenger corner and pan underneath needs to be pounded flat again. Aside from all these terrible sounding things, the car shouldn't be hard to fix, because all these patch panels are available right here on glorious Ebay! This is a very complete car that still has its interior(though ratty), all garnish moldings, and even the stainless trim! The car needs a generator, gas tank, exhaust, battery and hoses to run. The previous owner said the oil pan leaked and he tried to fix it with JB weld, but it needs to have metal welded in to be right.This will be a great car again for the purest, or a great start at that custom Merc. My reserve price is $7201.00 Please call with any questions and I'll try and answer them for you. 651-235-6983 Sam. I will need a $500 deposit through Paypal within 24 hours of auctions end, then the remaining balance in cash in person, or a certified bank check made out to me within 5 days of auctions close. I will work with the buyers shipping any way I can. Thanks and happy bidding, Sam

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
