Im selling my 1966 mercury s55 fastback automatic. It came from factory with emberglo metallic, was sent out from dearborn on 1/19/66 to La. Its a one of 2916, a marty report would show with color and options it could be one of maybe one hundred or less. It came with the c6 merc-o-matic pb, ac,ps. The car is complete and in great condition minus paint fade and a cracked dash. Engine was taken out for a fresh rebuild but has since sat in the garage. It ran great before it was taken out and was only went that far into after the brake booster needed rebuilding and we really thought about reliability.
The body is still in the original emberglo and has not a spot of rust showing anywhere on the car. Being a california car most of its life and at one point arizona, its completly rust free. These cars came with a Q code 428 which any ford lover knows is gold for a 1967 Q code mustang gt500 or 66 thunderbird 428. It has all the chrome most of which has no pitting or very little. The only thing you would need is one rear quarter s55 badge. Door code and fender tag are there and untouched aswell.
The last owner had it in a shed for 15 years and bought it from a lady out of arizona. My name is collin call me for info or pic email isnt as available to me. my number is 909 645 2895. For more info on the car like options and production #s heres the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_S-55.
As a side note that wiki page was supposedly writen by the guy my wife and I bought the car off. He claimed to own the yellow convertable used as the wiki pic. I never saw it tho because when we bought the s55 off him it was in an airport hanger with about 15 other original unrestored 7ls in it.

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.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
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.
