1954 Mercury Monterey 2 door Hard top. Original V8 and 3 speed Over Drive car. California Car from 1954 to 2005 (41 years). Original California Black Plates are still on the car. Car has been in Oregon for the last 8 years, and that is where it is now. (The roads are not salted in California or Oregon, so our cars don't rust out.) This car has some minor body damage. (Lower right and left rear quarter panels). Please see pictures. It has surface rust, as can be seen in the exterior pictures. The Floor pans, fenders, quarter panels, doors, trunk pan are all very solid. Again those areas have some surface rust,that is easily repairable. Please see the pictures. The carpeting was removed to show how good the floors and trunk are. The frame is very nice. Again, a solid California Car. With great Patina.
DRIVE TRAIN- It has a Y Block V8 engine, that is NOT original to the car. It still has the original three speed and overdrive transmission and rear end. The condition of the engine and transmission are unknown. The engine does turn over freely. The car does NOT run. It will have to be trailered. All the glass is good. Has all the upholstery, door panels, head liner, etc. The car is all there. The tires and wheels are good and it rolls around fine. The emergency brake works. We can assist in loading the car. The car could be shipped by a commercial Car Carrier, but they charge extra, when a vehicle does not run. If you want a shipping quote, Google "Car shipping quotes" put in our Zip Code of 97330, and your Zip code, and you will get several quotes.
I am listing this for a friend, who has a Treasure Trove of Lincoln and Mercury parts. So if you have any questions regarding the car, please Call: 1- (541) 740-4910 and ask for Don.
So what we have is: A very solid 1954 Mercury Monterey from California, that needs a restoration. Or, make it a driver as a "BARN FIND", with its very attractive "Patina". Very good car to start from, that does not need major body work or the replacement of all the floors or body panels. The owner is 71 years old, and is trying to reduce his Project Car Fleet. Clean and clear Oregon title. If Don is not available, please call me at (541) 740-4140 and ask for Al. Good Luck in bidding.
The Reserve on this Mercury is very Low. It is going to sell.
On Apr-16-13 at 20:03:29 PDT, seller added the following information:
The owner (Don) has a 292 Y Block Ford engine, with custom finned valve covers, 4 barrel Carb, air cleaner, distributor, wires, etc. complete good running engine, with a 3 speed Ford Automatic; available for purchase; for an extra $1200.00 to the winning bidder. If the winning bidder does not want the engine/trans, he will sell the engine and transmission for $1200.00 after the auction. The tires have about 70% tread. They are a matching set of BFGoodrich T/A radial tires (All 5 tires).
On Apr-16-13 at 20:57:35 PDT, seller added the following information:
My math is bad. The Mercury was in California from 1954 to 2005, and that is 51 years; not the 41 years I put in the original listing. Any way you look at it, this Mercury is 59 years old and looks great for it age. How many cars are in Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, New York, Illinois, etc.... that are 59 years old???? Virtually none... They all rusted out many years ago, and have become Campbell Soup cans. I hope you Rust Belt guys, take note and realize that this Mercury is a real treasure. It may be too cheap at $3750.00. You decide.....

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
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.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
