This is a very nice frame off restored Sun Valley that has been driven only 1030 miles since the restoration. It was done a few years ago and has resided in well protected, heated, and dry storage as a part of a larger collection.
This Mercury runs and drives perfect. All the major items including the engine, transmission and rear end were rebuilt along with everything else that needed rebuilt or restored.
It is well equiped with power steering, power windows, power brakes, automatic transmission, deluxe steering wheel, radio, heater and driving lights. It does not have power brakes but I have a complete original power brake set up that goes with the car. I never got around to installing it. The tires are wide white wall radials.
This car has disc brakes in the front for better stopping. I am selling this car to downsize my collection.
As you can see from the pictures, this is a very nice car and even though the frame off restoration is a few years old, it is still very much a highly desirable car. All the chrome, stainless, paint, glass, interior and underside are in excellent shape.
If you have any questions, please call me at 509 856 7857 or email me at afaltus@elltel.net or through the ebay system. Washington State buyer may be subject to Wash. State Sales Tax.

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.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
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!
