1963 Mercury Monterey Custom Breezeway 4dr Sedan on 2040-cars
Vancouver, Washington, United States
|
Ok...here we go, I have a One owner 1963 Mercury Monterey Custom Breezeway 4 dr Sedan. 390 2V, Automatic, PS, PB, and power rear window that works flawlessly. The car has 110,000 miles on it, was always garaged its whole life until last year when it sat out under a pine tree. The paint is a good 15 footer, but it is original paint, the interior is really good but the carpet is a little soiled, all the gauges work, the AM radio works. The trunk is intact just like it was in 1963 with the jack, and original bias ply spare. The car runs and drives great, I have put 600 miles on it since Ive had it, going to local car shows, cruise ins and such. It always gets a lot of attention... I have changed the oil, rebuilt the carb, replaced the distributor, the cap, rotor, wires, it has 4 new tires on it, new battery, voltage regulator, starter solenoid, fresh antifreeze, the tank has been dropped and cleaned out, all the lights work including back up lights, and I cant stress enough how straight and solid the body is for a 51 year old car. The glass is perfect as well. I bought this at an estate sale, I have all the proper paper work, death certificates ect... I do have the car listed locally so I reserve the right to remove my ad at any time.. Buyer is responsible for his or her OWN shipping arrangements..this car is drivable, and I wouldnt be afraid to drive it anywhere as long as you checked fluids periodically...which common sense would tell you to do on any car until you get to know it....this is an original garage find car...in great original condition... they are only original once...
NOTE the missing horn button in the pics is actually on the car, just not at the time the photos were taken... |

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output
Mon, Jan 6 2014How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.
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.
