For sale is a lovely 1950 Mercury Hot Rod. Chopped, dropped and shaved in all the right places. Interior is very nice - very comfortable and no tears or rips. Gauges all work - starts and runs down the highway at 70 with no shake - and one hand on the wheel. Restoration is approx. 10 years old. Paint is gorgeous - ghost flames - excellent finish - a few blemishes here and there - but you can take her out tonight and get the thumbs up at any cruise night. Late model 350 V8 - and 3 speed automatic. Engine compartment is tidy and clean - no issues. Chrome is all very nice. Front and rear are on airbags - all lines hold and pumps all work just as they are supposed to. The photos are with the car completely dropped. This car would cost well over 60k to reproduce just as it is. I was going to take this car to the Barrett Jackson level - but my wife says we have taxes to pay - so I have to sell her. Feel free to email or call with questions. Be ready for the spring and summer cruise nights by buying now - hot rods will only go higher with the temps.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
