You are bidding (hopefully) on a very nice 1970 Mercury Monterey 4 door sedan. The car is in very good condition, with a 390 cubic inch V-8 engine that has been rebuilt and RUNS GREAT. And the best part is...NO SMOG! I bought this car from a gentleman who had the engine rebuilt in May of 2004, then put very few miles on it. I even have the receipts from the engine builder. He had the builder install a high-rise aluminum manifold and a Holley 4-barrel carb, as well as dual exhaust that really resonates (but without being obnoxious). Power and acceleration are excellent, yet mileage is actually fairly decent at about 15-16 mpg on regular gas. Oil pressure hot is at 40psi at speed, and about 20-25 at idle. Temperature remains at about 165. Mechanical oil pressure and water temperature gauges have been added to the dash, and look like they came with the car. The c-6 transmission shifts well, and there are no leaks. The car is equipped with a working air conditioner and heater, am/fm cassette (aftermarket), and a CB radio antenna. The interior is in very good shape; the seats have been upholstered in cloth, and are very comfortable. There a few small blemishes in the upholstery, including a small tear in one of the door panels. The knobs on two of the window handles are missing, and the carpet on the drivers side floor is worn through. The rest of the carpet is in very good condition. There is no rust on or under the body, and the original paint still shows a shine, although it is starting to wear after 43 years. You can see in the pictures where there are some scratches and dings. The vinyl top is still in fairly good condition, although, as the picture shows, there is a spot where it is starting to crack. But, with care, it still has some years before replacement is necessary. This Mercury is equipped with front disc brakes that work very well. Lights, heater, horn, ac, radio/tape player, and gauges all work. This car is alot of fun to drive--big, powerful, and it floats down the road like a cloud. Car is located in Torrance, Ca (just southwest of Los Angeles). No warranty is expressed or implied; the car is sold as is, where is. Payment can be made by cash or certified cashier's check (we'll go to my credit union together if you want to use this method). $500.00 deposit required within 48 hours of end of auction; balance due within 7 days of end of auction. If you have negative feedback or less than 5 e-bay transactions, you must e-mail me BEFORE bidding, or your bid will be cancelled. Please do not bid unless you intend to buy. Remember, this car is 43 years old; it's not brand new. But, it's still a really nice car, and it's sure fun to drive something different! Good luck!

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.

This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway
Tue, Oct 27 2015The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below.
