The original owner of this car sold it to his nephew in 1968 and I purchased it from his nephew who restored the car. It is a nicely restored original car. To my knowledge, there is no bondo in the car. It is very straight and shows nicely with the baby blue repaint. The 352 motor runs smooth with no leaks or smoke. The exhaust is good with no leakage. The interior was redone in the original pattern and is in very nice condition. No tears. Good headliner. This is an excellent car offered at no reserve! If you are in the area, I encourage you to come take it for a drive. You will not be disappointed! I thought this car would make a very cool low rider, but I just don't have the time to bag it. It is lowered in the front with cut coils. I do have the original coil springs if you want to return it to stock height. The bumpers have been rechromed. The stainless was polished, but one of the spears has some dings. Tires are in great shape with lots of tread. This would be an excellent car for a young guy wanting to get into the hobby at with a reasonable investment. Please email me with any questions.

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.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
