1972 Mercury Montego GT Q Code

Dual exhaust,
429 engine (not original)
New Tires
New Power Brake Conversion Kit from Deerborn Classics installed,
New Carpet,
New vinyl seat covers,
New paint job,
New Headliner,
New front and rear bumpers (after market).

I purchased this car in 2008 at the October Auto Fair held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The car is pretty much the same as the day I purchased the car except for the Power Brake Conversion which I installed. The restoration of this car looks good to me. The paint job looks professional. The restoration, however, is not complete. Here are a couple things I have observed about the car:

1 - The engine runs well but does smoke as it warms up and is not a high performance engine. There is a slight coolant leak at the gasket between the engine block and timing chain housing.

2 - The car will need a complete brake job.

3 - The interior has some sun damage on the door panels and the dash is cracked but does have a new dash cover.

4 - There is a slight water leak around the upper left corner of the rear windshield.

5 - The left rear quarter panel has had some body work.

6 - The steering wheel is original with the GT logo but also has some splits, however, it is still solid.

NOTE: I am selling this car for friend of mine. If you have any questions, please send me a message or call my friend Chris at 704-484-2941 after 5:00 pm. Thanks.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never 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.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A 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.
