1955 Mercury Monterey Auto Trans, Ac, Power Steering Montclair No Reserve on 2040-cars
Saint Johns, Florida, United States
|
I have my 1955 Mercury Monetery forsale. This car is all original with original 292ci "y-8" engine and merc-o-matic 3 speed automatic transmission. It's a great car, could be used for daily driving or could be restored to showroom standards. Previous owner has done lots of work to the vehicle making it a great car. I have all records of what has been done to it, well over 10K in restoration costs.
The engine is its original 292 motor with brand new Holley 4-barrel carb on it. The motor was completely disassembled and rebuilt in 2003 at 127,000 miles, it has 138,000 now. Engine was rebuilt by a shop here in Jacksonville. Runs pretty well, its quiet with no abnormal sounds from engine and runs strong. Previous owner installed an alternator in place of the generator, the old generator will be included with the vehicle.
The transmission was also rebuilt in 2003 here in Jacksonville florida. This was done at 127,000 shortly after engine was rebuilt. Transmission shifts great and has no fluid leaks.
The interior was re-done in 2001, new seat covers, door panels, headliner, and carpet. Seats and head liner look great with no flaws at all, the carpet has faded a bit but nothing torn or missing.
The car has 4 wheel drum brakes, power steering, aftermarket ac(needs a charge), the blower blows on all speeds and the compressor clutch engages, just needs a vacuum and re-charge and should blow cold. Two years ago a new rebuilt hydraulic ram was installed for the power steering.
Considering the car is original and 60 years old the body is in good condition with no major rust. The frame and the floor pans are solid. Some rust bubbles behind the wheels and some bubbles around the trim on the roof. All structure points on the car are solid. The trunk floor is solid, no rust. Some of the chrome trim has pitted over the years as well
Car is sold as-is with no warranty. Need a depsosit of 500.00 within 24 hours of winning the auction and car needs to be paid in full within 5 days of auction. Please contact me with any questions, i will aid in helping the buying with shipping if need be. Thanks

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
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.
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
