You are bidding on this very nice 1956 mercury Monterey.
This car is a prime example of an unrestored survivor car in excellent driver quality condition.

The car was purchased new in Eugene Oregon, has been in the Oregon Valley it's whole life, and is a rust free car.

As stated This car has never been restored, it has had a repaint in the mid 1980's back to original color.
The paint is showing some age and minor flaws but is still driver quality.

The original Y-block 312 fires up and idles so nice and smooth and the original Merc-O-Matic transmission shifts flawlessly.
The engine and transmission were both overhauled back to factory spec in 1995.
(documentation included)

The odometer reads 90,435 and is believed to be correct mileage. Actual mileage of the engine/transmission since the overhaul is 1,199.

The interior of the car is original aside from a door panel repair in 1994 (documentation also included) and is in very good condition for being 58 years old.

There are no patch panels or cancer on this car, it is solid and rust free!

It has spent it's entire life in a climate controlled garage and has been very well cared for.

The tires and exhaust are new, they were both replaced last year.

There are only 3 things that do not work on this car, and they are,
the radio, the clock and the speedometer needle has fallen off and is still inside the speedometer, although the odometer still works.

All interior and exterior lights work properly, as well as all gauges (aside front the previously mentioned absent speedometer needle)

The car runs and drives amazingly well!

All glass is scratch free and in good condition aside from some very minor bubbles around the outer edges on the drivers side wing window and door window.

Registration is current and tags are good to 07/2015

This is a great classic, driver quality car

If you have any questions please contact me at 503 851 3385

I reserve the right to end the auction at any time due to the car also being for sale locally.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It'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.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here 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.
