You are bidding (hopefully) on a very nice 1970 Mercury Monterey 4 door sedan. The car is in very good condition, with a 390 cubic inch V-8 engine that has been rebuilt and RUNS GREAT. And the best part is...NO SMOG! I bought this car from a gentleman who had the engine rebuilt in May of 2004, then put very few miles on it. I even have the receipts from the engine builder. He had the builder install a high-rise aluminum manifold and a Holley 4-barrel carb, as well as dual exhaust that really resonates (but without being obnoxious). Power and acceleration are excellent, yet mileage is actually fairly decent at about 15-16 mpg on regular gas. Oil pressure hot is at 40psi at speed, and about 20-25 at idle. Temperature remains at about 165. Mechanical oil pressure and water temperature gauges have been added to the dash, and look like they came with the car. The c-6 transmission shifts well, and there are no leaks. The car is equipped with a working air conditioner and heater, am/fm cassette (aftermarket), and a CB radio antenna. The interior is in very good shape; the seats have been upholstered in cloth, and are very comfortable. There a few small blemishes in the upholstery, including a small tear in one of the door panels. The knobs on two of the window handles are missing, and the carpet on the drivers side floor is worn through. The rest of the carpet is in very good condition. There is no rust on or under the body, and the original paint still shows a shine, although it is starting to wear after 43 years. You can see in the pictures where there are some scratches and dings. The vinyl top is still in fairly good condition, although, as the picture shows, there is a spot where it is starting to crack. But, with care, it still has some years before replacement is necessary. This Mercury is equipped with front disc brakes that work very well. Lights, heater, horn, ac, radio/tape player, and gauges all work. This car is alot of fun to drive--big, powerful, and it floats down the road like a cloud. Car is located in Torrance, Ca (just southwest of Los Angeles). No warranty is expressed or implied; the car is sold as is, where is. Payment can be made by cash or certified cashier's check (we'll go to my credit union together if you want to use this method). $500.00 deposit required within 48 hours of end of auction; balance due within 7 days of end of auction. If you have negative feedback or less than 5 e-bay transactions, you must e-mail me BEFORE bidding, or your bid will be cancelled. Please do not bid unless you intend to buy. Remember, this car is 43 years old; it's not brand new. But, it's still a really nice car, and it's sure fun to drive something different! Good luck!

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
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.
