1965 - Mercury Monterey on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
My super rare 1965 Mercury Monterey with a 6.4L 390 big block and factory 3-Speed two door coupe. Local Burbank California car since new. This car was a special order car from the factory with no A/C, no radio, no reverse lights and a 3-speed on the column. According to gentlemen he strictly ordered this car from the factory for one purpose which was to tow his 31' Air stream trailer and that this was the last produced off the line, but I have no way of proving this. Only his word and he has since passed. Please take a close look at the pictures of this car to truly understand uniqueness and rarity. There were a little over 5700 Monterey coupes built in 1965 mostly automatic transmission. I don't recall ever running into a full size sedan that has a factory 3-speed mated to a big block. The car is very powerful, drives like a dream, sounds excellent and gets a lot of compliments every time it's driven. The cars mileage is the original 71000, the body is Super Straight with only the exception of the right rear corner (seen in picture) and a small rust spot on the rocker the size of quarter. The car was painted the original color by Macco back in 1982. There are a box full of original parts of the car such as the arm rests mirrors, manual, a brand new water pump and miscellaneous stuff that I have never had a moment to go through.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
