Up for sale is a nice example of a Classic Mercury Monterey Convertible that is a true southern Un-Restored Car that runs, rides, and drives as good as the day it was purchased. Not a lot of these cars running around any longer and very few that are solid un-restored driver quality cars. This car has been painted before in its life by the previous owner and it isn't just perfect, but the car shows and presents very well. The undercarriage, Rocker panels, trunk, gutters , and all of the rust prone places are absolutely solid!! This car shows 03042 on the Mileage. I do know this motor has 40k miles on Rebuild documented to the odometer. Transmission was re-done less than 20k miles ago. The Power top is in near perfect condition and functioning perfectly. All of the interior and dash look exceptionally well. The Trim and Chrome looks very nice. One piece of the Monterey emblem on the rear driver side came off, but still have the piece pictured laying on seat, just haven't stuck it back on. Everything about this car really is in great shape. The Factory A/C is all still in Tact but has not been used in years and could be re-worked or possibly just recharged . If you are looking for a very cool convertible car with a legendary V8 that you can drive across country today, Then you have found it. Only 3 of these cars listed in Hemmings. Do the Research! This car is affordable and will make someone a great car for a long time to come. I am open to offers and have the right to end the auction early due to a local sale. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me by phone at 662-721-5009. Thank-you for looking and Good Luck bidding.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
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.
