1961 MERCURY MONTEREY.
I bought this car from the original owner. 292 v8. automatic. starts super easy! Was in his barn, he sold the farm and I got it out of his way for him. Put a battery on it and it started right up. Put a carb kit in it, plugs and wires. fuel filter, flushed the lines, gas tank and radiator, put new belts on it and away we went. I drove this car 300 miles to my home after we had it road worthy! Cruise in it here and there. Moving soon and can't take this monster with me. Everything on this car works. Well except for the a/c. it worked until the compressor went out this past summer. Horn sounds like a freight train! Old tube radio even picks up a.m. stations. Painted the car solid white, was red and white, didn't dig the red. Interior is good other than the drivers side of the front seat as you can see in the photos. Lowered the car 2 inches all the way around. put some new retro 17" wheels and tires on it. This car does need a muffler or something on it, just a straight pipe running back right now. IF the car sales, a 500$ deposit thru paypal is due within 24hrs. No exceptions. Even if you are coming with cash 2 days later, the deposit is still due! |

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You 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.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
