Also the title shows the mileage and the odometer status on the title is ACTUAL MILEAGE. This car is in turn key drive home and enjoy immediately today condition. You could not restore this car for the price that it is being offered at. If you could even find one to restore that is equipped such as this Mercury is. All areas of this car appear to be all original with the exception of one repaint some time ago. Close inspection of the paint job reveals some minor touch-ups, but presents extremely well. The eye pleasing two tone paint and new wide whites give this car the classic 50's look. The motor fires right up and runs great. The brakes work fine and car stops well. The clutch is strong and shifting is effortless and it drives great. Inside and out this car looks absolutely fantastic ! The rarity of this car and it's condition speaks for itself. Breakdown of the numbers on the VIN & DATA plate indicate that the car was built in Los Angeles , California on June 6th, 1957, which explains the quad headlights only found on 1957 Montereys built later in the model year. The paint code of 258 designates the Classic White/Brazilian Bronze/Classic White color combination. The 754 Trim code designates a Gold/Light Gold interior. Rugs are in excellent condition and have Mercury embossed into the driver's side foot pad. Headliner and glass are all perfect. Gauges all work as they should. This is also a super rare radio and clock delete car. Another "show me another one" feature. This car is a California rust free car. It spent some time in Minnesota and a short time in Pennsylvania, but the rust free condition indicates it was never driven in bad weather and was always garage kept and very well maintained. All chrome and stainless trim are in superb condition. There is a short piece of stainless trim missing from the right rain gutter towards the front. The left tail light lens has a crack. The trunk mat & filler panels are original and in great shape including original jacking instructions. Headlights, parking lights, tail lights, stop lights and turn signals are all working. Wipers and heater also work. Windows roll up and down with ease. As shown in the one photo there is dealer brochures, tune up charts, and a color chip chart that go with the car. If any prospective buyer has any questions as to the stunning condition and integrity of this car I welcome, encourage, and strongly suggest an in-person viewing of this car by appointment. The pictures of this car don't do it justice. It should be seen in person to be appreciated. I have even put this car up on a lift to show the completely solid rust free undercarriage. I have many more photos of the car available to send to any prospective buyer. Just call and ask for them. This car would be a hit at any car show, and would draw a lot of attention because of it's condition and rarity. It would make a great addition to a Mercury collection or any collection. I have a clean Pennsylvania title in hand for this car ready for transfer to the new owner. The title must be legally and properly transferred as well.

Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
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.
