You are bidding (hopefully) on a 1970 Mercury Monterey. This four door sedan is in overall good condition, with a GREAT running 390 V-8 engine that has less than 5000 miles on it. The engine has a mild cam in it, and has dual exhaust with Flow Master mufflers that really resonate well without being obnoxious. The motor runs a Holley 4-barrel carb. The best thing is: NO SMOG EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED!! The automatic transmission (C-6) shifts well, and just had a fluid and filter change. The interior is in very good condition with one exception: the carpet on the driver's side is worn through. The seats are upholstered in cloth--no sticking to vinyl on hot days. Door panels and head liner in very good condition. The car is equipped with power steering and air conditioning (works). The exterior is in fair shape, with a few dings. The paint is ok, still holds a shine, but has some scrapes (see pictures). The vinyl top is still in one piece, but is starting to show some cracking. It should last another couple years, though. Tires are serviceable. This car is a lot of fun to drive--plenty of power and acceleration, yet still gets decent mileage (about 15 mpg). It floats along the highway like a big fluffy cloud, and tracks nice and straight. Brakes are good, too. Included in the sale are all the receipts from the engine rebuild, as well as a complete set of electrical diagrams. Car is sold as is, where is in Torrance, California. If you have negative feedback or no feedback, you must e-mail me BEFORE bidding or your bid will be cancelled. $500.00 deposit due within 24 hours of end of auction, balance due within 7 days. Winner is responsible for delivery, although I can help load it up on a truck that the winner arranges. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Good luck!

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.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
