Rust Free 1954 Mercury Monterey Sun Valley on 2040-cars
Oroville, California, United States
For sale or trade is an extraordinarily solid and completely rust free 1954 Mercury Monterey Sun Valley 2 door hard top. This is and always has been a Northern California car and has been stored inside for many years. This car is complete with all parts and many extra parts including a near new glass top. The Sun Valley has amazing potential for restoration as it has never been in any significant accident, has no bondo, no rust. The doors and windows all close tight and are still in great shape. The glass is all excellent with an exception in the drivers wing window which has a crack. The windshield and all other glass is clear and certainly usable. The trunk, undercarriage, floor boards, fender and inner wells are all rust free. Even places where you might expect some rust just over time are clean and solid. The interior is intact but removed so pictures could be taken of the floorboards. The engine turns over but I have never tried to get it started and is also complete. The brakes, while intact, do not function. The chrome is all there and mostly usable as it is and what isn't can be easily re-chromed. The body is extremely tight with good solid body lines, no door fatigue. I am not really into Mercury and bought the car because I was impressed with the condition and the well preserved and unmolested restorable shape she is in. The drive train is intact but I have no knowledge of the condition of the trans or differential except for the appearance. There are fender skirts, sun visors and many other extra parts that will go with the car. Please call 530-519-2195 or email with any questions. The car is stored inside and can remain there free of charge for a reasonable amount of time. The car comes with a clean and original Calif. title and lots of information about the car and available parts. I have seen these cars go for upwards of $70,000.00 and am told they are very rare and desirable. I will assist in shipping all I can but the cost is the responsibility of the buyer. Please check out all the pics and ask any questions prior to bidding and please have the funds available when you do bid, thanks |

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill 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!
Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump
Tue, May 2 2017A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.
