It's a '56 Mercury Monterey, 2 door hardtop, originally 235hp Y-block 312 with 3 speed Merc-o-matic tranny. It's originally a Kansas car and remained their until about 2007 where it ended up in southern Colorado. I bought the car in Colorado and brought it here when I moved about a year ago.
I have both a current GA registration and I kept my clear CO title for the car when I moved here.
It runs great, starts easily, even when cold, and runs very, very strong. It's very responsive and pulls very hard all the way through. All in all, it's just a really fun driver to have a good time with. It's been reliable enough that I drive it all the time, including to work on nice days and around town. I put around 250 miles a month on it.
Original motor and trans. Good glass, other than some pits and some repaired chips in the windshield. The car was hot rodded a bit back in the 60's and I believe there's been some head work and a pretty healthy cam in it. The idle quality is good, but with a bit of a lope and a little higher than stock.
Rebuilt front suspension, new shocks, tires are about a year and a half old, new brake master cylinder, new wheel cylinders, new soft lines, mostly new hard lines, new Holley carb, '57 large pattern 4 bolt intake, 1957/58 distributor (no more Loadamatic distro), rebuilt speedometer, rebuilt transmission and torque converter (was over $2100), rebuilt gas tank, rebuilt radiator, rebuilt radio, new exhaust, Red's long tube headers, 4.10 gears with new bearings and seals, and a lot more. I was even able to find an original set of fender skirts for it.
There are a few things that don't work right, like a couple of the gauges (I have spares for them) and the clock. There's a small rust spot at the top of the rear wheel arches and I have patch panels from an original car for both. There's also a bit of rust in the front floor pans.
A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 2 days of auction close either through Paypal or express mailed money order or certified check. The balance of the payment is due within 5 working days and may be cash if the car is picked up in person or with a money order, bank loan check, or certified check. Payment must clear before the car is released.
Buyer handles all shipping costs and arrangements and I would be happy to work with the shipper to schedule a time for pickup but the arrangements must be made by the buyer. If the car is to be shipped overseas, I am not responsible for dealing with customs.

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.
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
