Welcome, bidders! This is my 1960 Mercury Monterey Custom two-door hardtop.
I've been debating whether or not to sell my car for a long time now, but it's finally really time to let her go. With two toddlers and a hectic work schedule, I just haven't had much time to do anything with the car. What I HAVE done is the following:
-Installed RideTech (Air Ride Technologies) front and rear CoolRide airbag suspension kits, with upgraded Slam Specialties SS-6 airbags up front for faster lift at lower pressures
-Installed NEW dearched leaf springs at rear with new bushings
-Found and installed a rare set of 14x6 Keystone Kustomag wheels with whitewall tires
-Collected lots of random parts, which will be included with the purchase of the car
The car does NOT currently run. That's how I bought it, and I've never looked into why it doesn't run since I was going to install a Ford FE engine anyway. It could be a simple matter, and it does look like the engine may have been rebuilt at some point based on the fresh-looking paint on the engine block, but I can't know for sure. The brakes will also have to be attended to, maybe new lines, and there is a small rust spot in one rear quarter panel, but it is minor. There are NO other rust issues on the car. All glass is perfect except for windshield, which is still available new. I just wanted to make sure to mention it so that there are no surprises.
I really do believe that the car could be back on the road in a few weekends in the hands of someone who actually had the time to put into it.
I can assist with loading the car onto a trailer or transporter with some notice, as I'll have to arrange to take some time off of work to help out.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
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!
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.
