Rust Free 1954 Mercury Monterey Sun Valley on 2040-cars
Oroville, California, United States
|
For sale or trade is an extraordinarily solid and completely rust free 1954 Mercury Monterey Sun Valley 2 door hard top. This is and always has been a Northern California car and has been stored inside for many years. This car is complete with all parts and many extra parts including a near new glass top. The Sun Valley has amazing potential for restoration as it has never been in any significant accident, has no bondo, no rust. The doors and windows all close tight and are still in great shape. The glass is all excellent with an exception in the drivers wing window which has a crack. The windshield and all other glass is clear and certainly usable. The trunk, undercarriage, floor boards, fender and inner wells are all rust free. Even places where you might expect some rust just over time are clean and solid. The interior is intact but removed so pictures could be taken of the floorboards. The engine turns over but I have never tried to get it started and is also complete. The brakes, while intact, do not function. The chrome is all there and mostly usable as it is and what isn't can be easily re-chromed. The body is extremely tight with good solid body lines, no door fatigue. I am not really into Mercury and bought the car because I was impressed with the condition and the well preserved and unmolested restorable shape she is in. The drive train is intact but I have no knowledge of the condition of the trans or differential except for the appearance. There are fender skirts, sun visors and many other extra parts that will go with the car. Please call 530-519-2195 or email with any questions. The car is stored inside and can remain there free of charge for a reasonable amount of time. The car comes with a clean and original Calif. title and lots of information about the car and available parts. I have seen these cars go for upwards of $70,000.00 and am told they are very rare and desirable. I will assist in shipping all I can but the cost is the responsibility of the buyer. Please check out all the pics and ask any questions prior to bidding and please have the funds available when you do bid, thanks |

Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?
Wed, May 25 2016Lincoln'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:
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
