Selling a VERY RARE 1963 Mercury Monterey BREEZESWAY "S 55" Sport 2 door Coupe, I purchases the car from a storage business. Has a new battery that was used to start the car.... The 390 engine sounds very good and healthy, no wierd noises. GOOD I drove the 63 a very short distance it goes, stops and reverses.. no problem. I have a GOOD ARIZONA TITLE and has current AZ Plates that go with it. I believe the Mercury may have started it's life in California with the CA plates that were on it. According the the infomation found, there were a total of 3,850 Mercury Monterey S55 Coupes built in 63. How many are on the road and driving NOW ??? this runs and drive and stops and has a Pretty LOW Production number UNDER 640 !! This is a RARE Running project Mercury S55 with a GOOD Arizona title. As mention above the 63 does has minor rust, in most all panels.......It's doesn't look to bad, but does have minor rust ..that would need to be address. I looked at the floors from underneath and they look good solid no issues there. Ther interior looks pretty good, for being over 50 years old. the dash has been cut up etc.... the 63 doesn't have AC but that can be added . the front windshield is cracked, but all other glass is in good shape. This a running, driving, stopping Project Mercury S55, there pretty RARE and you hardly ever see any on the road or at car shows., there are VERY COOL MERCURY's. It could a SUPER STREET CRUISER. I'm selling the 63 as-is where-is condition. Please ask questions, will glady answer them. Will gladly help you secure transportation from me to you. For Buyers OUT-of- STATE and OUT -of- COUNTRY.
As ALWAYS.... GOOD LUCK and HAPPY BIDDING !!!!!!

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 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion
Wed, Jun 17 2015While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
