I DO NOT WANT TO PART THIS CAR. I WANT TO SELL IT AS IS. IT IS MUCH MORE THAN WHAT IT SEEMS, READ ALL OF WHAT'S WRITTEN IN THIS AD, BECAUSE IF I HAVE TO PUT LABOR INTO PARTING IT OUT FOR ANYBODY, I'M GOING TO CHARGE 500.00 FOR ANY PART. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A QUARTER EXTENSION OR CUTTING OUT A REAR QUARTER PANEL. IT WILL COST YOU 500 DOLLARS, BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO SELL THIS CAR AS A WHOLE, SO YOU'RE BETTER OFF BUYING THE WHOLE CAR, AND HAVING A DONOR CAR WITH EXTRA PARTS. THAT'S SMARTER IN THE LONG RUN. ALSO, MOST SHIPPING COMPANIES WILL GIVE ME A HASSLE WITH SHIPPING IF THEY CAN EVEN SHIP YOUR PART, AND THAT COST WILL BE EXTRA FOR YOU. I MIGHT BE ABLE TO DELIVER THIS CAR TO YOU FOR FREE IF YOU WIN IT, AND YOU'RE CLOSE ENOUGH.

THIS CAR HAS AN ORIGINAL 351 CLEVELAND ENGINE IN IT THAT TURNS. IT CRANKS. It has not been started in a few months, but it turned when I was working on it in October.

IN OCTOBER, I PUT ON THE ENGINE, A BRAND NEW HOLLEY 650 2V CARBURETOR (shown in photos)

ALL THE BODY PIECES FOR THE CAR ARE PRESENT. When I FIRST bought it, there was not ONE mark on the car, only the surface rust shown in the photos. It was sideswiped, during the first storm in NY this winter, while parked, during the snow, where I keep it garaged and work on it. This is the reason why I'm selling it: because the damage I will have to eat, out of pocket, because the party responsible for the damage has fled. If you're a body guy, have access to a shop, buddies in the industry, you've scored. Because I'm selling this convertible CHEAP.

I AM SELLING A RUNNING CONVERTIBLE PROJECT WITH THE ENGINE AND TRANNY IN THE CAR. The car is missing nearly ALL of the interior, except the driver's seat (I gutted out the interior because I have a complete interior that I was buying MINT from another guy I know, for 1500.00. SO, if you would like me to connect you with this gentleman, you will have an ENTIRE running car for under 3500.00. I was going to paint it, where it is shown, before the damage occurred.

THE TOP MOTOR WORKS (The fuel lines for the hydraulic pumps I believe have frozen, or need fluid of some sort, but you can hear the top's motor on the pump cranking).

The ORIGINAL owner, lost the keys, so in order to start the car for me so I could drive it off his lot, he had to CUT the steering column where the ignition is, so you'll need a whole new steering column. (This part can also be obtained from the individual I was getting the interior from). I later found the original keys UNDER the back seat, while parting out the interior). I have a few sets of keys now.

I have the Bill of Sale from the original owner (NOT the title, there is NO TITLE, but a title isn't needed in NYS: You apply for HISTORIC plates, with proof of historic car insurance at the dmv. This is a FACT - EBAY REQUIRES YOU FILL OUT SOME SORT OF "DESCRIPTION" FOR THE TITLE, BUT THERE IS NO TITLE).

THIS CAR IS PRICED TO SELL AT 1925.00 DOLLARS. I AM VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THAT. If you would like to get around that price, message me. I'm not taking trades, only cash. IT IS A PROJECT, and I am selling it at what it is worth = under 2000 dollars. You will have a very difficult time finding ANY convertible, that even has a MOTOR in it, for less than 2000.00.... even a cheap Chrysler Sebring or a Chevy Cavalier.

ALL ELECTRICS WORK. AIR CONDITION BLOWS AIR.
I HAVE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW STEEL FLOOR FROM MUSTANGS UNLIMITED FOR 200+ DOLLARS WHICH I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF INSTALLING/WELDING (SHOWN IN PHOTOS)
YOU WILL GET AN EXTRA STARTER FOR THIS CAR, THAT WAS NOT EVEN FOR THIS CAR, BUT BECAUSE IT'S IN THE PHOTOS I'LL THROW IT IN.
ALSO NOT PICTURED, BUT INCLUDED IS A BRAND NEW 800CCA INTERSTATE BATTERY.
IN ADDITION, THE TOP FOR THE CONVERTIBLE, I HAVE, (BUT IT IS BLUE IN COLOR) it does NOT have the window, so you'll have to buy that separate, LET ME KNOW IF YOU DON'T WANT THE TOP.
Other than that driver side damage, It is a CLEAN CAR all around, meaning: ALL LINES MATCH UP, ALL POINTS MEET, ALL DOOR HINGES OPEN AND CLOSE SMOOTH, AND THE DOORS ARE LINED UP WITH THE BODY WHEN CLOSED. SAME GOES FOR THE TRUNK AND THE HOOD. Look at the photos and the VIDEO clips. The hood hinges need some oiling, but they DO MEET UP at the points. EVERY SINGLE BODY PART IS THERE. It is missing one fender emblem, and the trunk and hood emblems.
The milage shows 38,404 and it was elderly owned before I got it. Body-wise and interior it was COMPLETE. There is rust on the car, obviously, and needs a new battery tray (which is included in the sale)

THIS IS A 7 DAY LISTING, FOR A CAR THAT IS A PROJECT CAR. If you need it sooner, message me WITH A NAME, TIME OF AVAILABILITY, AND NUMBER. YOU CANNOT DRIVE OFF THE LOT WITH IT- THE DRIVERS SEAT IS NOT BOLTED ON. IT CANNOT BE DRIVEN. IT HAS BEEN SITTING AND YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK ON IT ELSEWHERE.

I CAN ALSO POSSIBLY HAVE IT TOWED FOR YOU WITHIN NYC FOR FREE if you contact me ahead of time. THE CAR IS SOLD AS IS- AS A PROJECT CAR, THAT NEEDS TO BE RE-ASSEMBLED AND RESTORED.

I HAVE OFFICIAL BILL OF SALE PAPERS ON HAND TO FILL OUT.

THIS IS A DEAL FOR A CONVERTIBLE CLASSIC CAR WITH EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE PANELS AND 3 SEATS. TIRES WILL BE INFLATED BEFORE IT DEPARTS FROM THE LOT. IT IS PRICED TO SELL AT THE PRICE I LISTED IT FOR. DO NOT "WATCH" THE AUCTION, INQUIRE, AND ACT FAST. I DON'T EXPECT ANY MORE THAN 1925.00, BUT I WILL LET THE AUCTION RUN IF NOBODY SPEAKS UP.. THANK YOU.

EXTRA PHOTOS AND VIDEO CLIPS OF THE EXACT CAR YOU WILL GET (there is ONE more video, but for $1925, this ad is enough effort I believe)

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Montego MX Brougham Sawzall Convertible Edition

Fri, Apr 21 2017

You know how it goes— the weather is warm, you want to do some top-down driving, and you lack a proper convertible... but you do have a hooptie Detroit car on one side of the garage and a big ol' Sawzall on the other. Put the two together and you have a Sawzall Convertible, which generally lasts for about one summer before it gets scrapped. Here's a fine example of such a car, photographed in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service junkyard. Most Sawzall Convertibles (yes, it should be called a roadster, but nobody does that) have raw, ragged metal edges, or maybe duct tape over the stumps of the amputated pillars, but someone went to the trouble to weld nice smooth metal covers over the hackage on this one. The windshield is gone. Instead, the windshield frame is ringed by tongue depressors held in place by gooey roofing tar. No, we don't know why. The Montego MX Brougham was a hot-selling personal luxury coupe in its day, selling for $3,041 in 1973. That's just under $17,000 in 2017 dollars. It must have been fun, cruising this thing on Bay Area streets with no roof and a rattle-can spray-bomb job. This one has the optional 400-cubic-inch V8 engine, rated at 171 horsepower. What would this car's original buyer have thought of its fate? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?

Wed, May 25 2016

Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:
