1955 Mercury Monterey Auto Trans, Ac, Power Steering Montclair No Reserve on 2040-cars
Saint Johns, Florida, United States
|
I have my 1955 Mercury Monetery forsale. This car is all original with original 292ci "y-8" engine and merc-o-matic 3 speed automatic transmission. It's a great car, could be used for daily driving or could be restored to showroom standards. Previous owner has done lots of work to the vehicle making it a great car. I have all records of what has been done to it, well over 10K in restoration costs.
The engine is its original 292 motor with brand new Holley 4-barrel carb on it. The motor was completely disassembled and rebuilt in 2003 at 127,000 miles, it has 138,000 now. Engine was rebuilt by a shop here in Jacksonville. Runs pretty well, its quiet with no abnormal sounds from engine and runs strong. Previous owner installed an alternator in place of the generator, the old generator will be included with the vehicle.
The transmission was also rebuilt in 2003 here in Jacksonville florida. This was done at 127,000 shortly after engine was rebuilt. Transmission shifts great and has no fluid leaks.
The interior was re-done in 2001, new seat covers, door panels, headliner, and carpet. Seats and head liner look great with no flaws at all, the carpet has faded a bit but nothing torn or missing.
The car has 4 wheel drum brakes, power steering, aftermarket ac(needs a charge), the blower blows on all speeds and the compressor clutch engages, just needs a vacuum and re-charge and should blow cold. Two years ago a new rebuilt hydraulic ram was installed for the power steering.
Considering the car is original and 60 years old the body is in good condition with no major rust. The frame and the floor pans are solid. Some rust bubbles behind the wheels and some bubbles around the trim on the roof. All structure points on the car are solid. The trunk floor is solid, no rust. Some of the chrome trim has pitted over the years as well
Car is sold as-is with no warranty. Need a depsosit of 500.00 within 24 hours of winning the auction and car needs to be paid in full within 5 days of auction. Please contact me with any questions, i will aid in helping the buying with shipping if need be. Thanks

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
