1968 Mercury Monterey Convertible, 99% original with a 428 Super Marauder engine, original 4V 4300 autolite carb, C6 Merc-O-Matic transmission and 9" rear end, pwr steering, pwr assisted front disc brakes, lime frost w/ black interior near perfect. Brand new tires all around including spare, original clock w/ quartz movement installed, original hubcaps, all spare tire equipment in the trunk. Dual exhaust with glass packs. I replaced fuel tank, sender, front left caliper, fuel and air filter. I rebuilt original carb. and installed an original fan shroud from a 1968 ford LTD. Vehicle was stored in garage from 1975 until 2009, runs and drives great. Only 1515 convertibles made in 1968 and very few with 428 engines making this a very rare car. Will make a great addition to any collection, car show or weekend fun. Insurance appraisal is $11,000-$14,500, I'm selling it much cheaper than that. Maybe last chance to purchase vehicle as I will not re-list (again) and I'm listing car locally. 17" Foose wheels don't come with vehicle, I just wanted to show how good the vehicle looks with after-market rims and tires. Good luck bidding.

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.
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here 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.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
