1960 Mercury Monterey Sedan

312y block 8cyl
MANUAL 3 on the tree
original engine and tranny
factory two tone paint 
all original condition, 99% rust free california car.
runs drives and stops, almost a daily driver but she needs a clutch and timing adjustment. Its not an easy driver but I get her down the road still with these issues...I would trailer the car if you are far away. my zip is 27604


unmolested, unrestored in original condition with no rust issues, you cannot find these in this condition anymore they are DRY... The floor pans are original, no holes patches or covered up rot. see the pictures. I drive her just as she sits, but buyer may decide headliner, carpet, and front bench are needed. the choice of where to go is up to you.


she is on display at the carolina collectors auto fest on the NC State Fairgrounds, and she is the only one of her kind, the classic americana overstyling from this era attracts loads of attention from people just curious to posing along side for pictures.

right now she has a rear body drop of 2". I have the original shackles to reset original height if buyer  desires.

that being said I am selling her for a very reasonable $5000 cash or best offer. Since this is a buy it now or best offer listing I may trade, it would have to be worthy to grab my attention and local is best, I am not interested in stuff/junk. any questions ttext only 61nineeighteight4zero5zero6

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It'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.
