Im selling my 1966 mercury s55 fastback automatic. It came from factory with emberglo metallic, was sent out from dearborn on 1/19/66 to La. Its a one of 2916, a marty report would show with color and options it could be one of maybe one hundred or less. It came with the c6 merc-o-matic pb, ac,ps. The car is complete and in great condition minus paint fade and a cracked dash. Engine was taken out for a fresh rebuild but has since sat in the garage. It ran great before it was taken out and was only went that far into after the brake booster needed rebuilding and we really thought about reliability.

  The body is still in the original emberglo and has not a spot of rust showing anywhere on the car. Being a california car most of its life and at one point arizona, its completly rust free. These cars came with a Q code 428 which any ford lover knows is gold for a 1967 Q code mustang gt500 or 66 thunderbird 428. It has all the chrome most of which has no pitting or very little. The only thing you would need is one rear quarter s55 badge. Door code and fender tag are there and untouched aswell.

The last owner had it in a shed for 15 years and bought it from a lady out of arizona. My name is collin call me for info or pic email isnt as available to me. my number is 909 645 2895.  For more info on the car like options and production #s heres the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_S-55

As a side note that wiki page was supposedly writen by the guy my wife and I bought the car off.  He claimed to own the yellow convertable used as the wiki pic.  I never saw it tho because when we bought the s55 off him it was in an airport hanger with about 15 other original unrestored 7ls in it.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

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.
