1963 Mercury Monterey w/ Breezway back window / 4dr Hardtop this one 1 of Mercurys Top of the Line models for 1963... with a really cool optional power back window that slides up and down, and honestly you are very aware of it while driving around its so unique. Some quick history about the car in the last few yrs. This car has been here in Tucson pretty much its whole life and has been a daily driver for a lady up till just a few months ago. BUT about 3 months ago, there was a small engine fire under the hood. The body was very clean for its ago, but when the firetruck showed up to put out the fire, they put a nice dent in the top of the RF fender to make an area to spray into to put the fire out. The insurance company after the fire said the car was totalled, so the title then was branded Salvage. It was far from totalled, but thats not how the insurance company saw it. But the last owner got paid, kept the car and we bought it, hence the reason for the title like it is. Turns out while repairing it and getting it back on the road, we found the rear float had come apart, causing the carb to flood out, which in turn we think this is what caused the fire. To get it up and running faster, we ran new appropriate wires from the firewall to the starter solenoid, the distributer and back so the car would start again using the key like normal. We installed a new carb float and new distributer, cap, rotor plugs and wires. Within a few minutes the car fired right up and runs very well actually. The brakes need to be bled some as I can feel some air in the lines (going to try to do that this week) But the car has recently had some brake work done too and the PB do feel good. Because of the wiring not all fixed, the brake lights are not working as is the back window at the moment. But I did find a decent used harness for under the hood, and it will come with the car. If I have time Ill try to get it installed. I also noticed that there seems to be a small leak in one of the PS hoses. PS works well, but that hose will need to be replaced soon. This car runs so well and fun to drive, I almost hope it doesnt sell, because Id love to keep it and drive it around for the holidays and use it to go looking at Christmas Lights with the family this holiday !! Great color combo : 60s cool Aqua and green colors. Shows 103k on the odometer and it could be original. DRIVETRAIN: original 390 4v motor runs and sounds good. The C6 trans works in all the forward gears, but Reverse does Not seem to be functional, not exactly sure why. Engine bay still a little dirty from the fire, so it will need some cleaning and detailing to make it look nicer. AC all connected and could possibly work, didnt try it yet but the last owner said her dad did do work on the AC before Summer and it worked then. Original rear end with 3:00 gears has no issues. INTERIOR: for its age looks unrestored and better then most Az cars this old mostly due to the fact its been in a garage most of its life here in Az. If it had a new headliner and carpet it would be almost done for a fun driver. Dash light look great during night driving , not dim some older cars and think they are all stock still. The stock AM Radio works well too and fun to listen to oldies stations when cruising around. LF dr flat window cracked, and needs new rollers for the window. Dr side rear side window off the tracks and will need at least new rollers or possible regulator. Other 2 windows on the PS are in much better shape. Power sliding rear back window did work before the wiring fire, but Im going to try to power it up this week so I can roll it up and down with the factory switch. All the chrome inside the car, along the dash is in Amazing Shape for its age, check out the 150+ pics !!! Trunk is very clean and original, although the carpet trunkmat has oil stains on it. SUSPENSION: just all original Mercury stuff intact and feels ok. Works fine as is for a daily driver, tires arent too bad either.. also have a receipt in the glove box for an alignment done in the last yr. The term Land Yacht comes to mind, as it glides over speedbumps like a old big Merc ! Maybe for a more modern look, toss on some more modern 20" wheels. We actually have a full set available as an OPTION if there is a winner and they want a set. Near the bottom of all the pics Ill post a pic of the American Racing wheels we have available for the car with tires. Both are new in the box wheels and tires. BODY: very rust free and straight sheetmetal front to back BUT you can see some areas that have had some what I call minor repairs / dents fixed over the yrs and near the rear there is a new dent on the dr side (see pics) Floors are very SOLID from under neath the car, only saw a few small areas that got some rust. Its very obvious this car has been here in the dry AZ Climate most if not all its life by the lack of rust on the body. All the lower areas of the car are very very solid and dont believe they have ever needed any repairs. (see pics) EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE THE PICS BELOW SPEAK VOLUMES but Im sure I may of overlooked some stuff. Check out over 100 pics below, be patient it may take a minute or 2 for them to all load. Low reasonable Reserve Bid Early and bid smart so you dont lose out !! ALL THE PICS BELOW ARE OF THE ACTUAL CAR YOU ARE BIDDING ON AND TAKEN LAST WEEK
Our older cars are more Probably the BEST represented Mercurys on Ebay. I bank with Bank of America, which makes things easy for many out of |

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
