Ventura, California, United States
|
Local Buyer fell through, so here's another shot at this very rare, very cool 1962 Mercury Monterey Custom Coupe.
If your looking to restore a classic that's very unique and not the typical car at a show, then this is it. As much as I'd love to bring this car back to it's former glory, I'm buried in another project that I need to fund. The car fires right up, but needs a few things to get it on the road safely. Here's some details: Clean CA Title Current registration Original A/C Car with all components still in place!!!!!! Original 352ci Mercury Motor/Automatic Trans ***Starts Right Up!*** I have video of car running. New Spark Plugs New Battery New Fuel Filter New Plug Wires New Cap/Rotor New Intake Filter New Fuel Pump New Fuel Tank Power Brakes Glasspack Dual Exhaust 20" Boss Chrome Rims with 35 series tires in good shape All Original Exterior Trim Present, minus mirrors and antenna Most of the trim in good shape Body Straight Comes with new, but not put on yet: 4 - new headlights New Headlight harness New Tail light lens New Window Weatherstrip Seals New Window Felts NOS key blanks New Truck lock cylinder New reproduction manual The car is definitely still a project that will need restoration, but won't take much to get it on the road, while you restore. Currently it fires right up, will drive and stop, but needs minor carb tuning, new cooling hoses, belts, brake adjusting, etc. Does have some minor rust here and there, but nothing extreme. Surface rust on the floor pans, with a couple of small (Half Dollar) sized hole in drives side pan that will need to be patched, small hole (Penny Size) on passenger pan. Same with the trunk. Rust bubbles on passenger wheel well and behind bumpers. Surface rust around the exterior, but nothing that can't be sanded and sealed. I've tried to include picture of the pans. All pics, except the a couple of the motor we're take 05/12/14. The motor pics were taken two weeks prior, before the fuel pump was replaced. Needs full interior restoration. Interior is all there, but will need to be redone. Overall this car is definitely going to be a very high dollar, rare classic that turns heads as it sits now. If your looking for something different that will set you apart from the crowd, then this is it. Perfect build that the whole family can enjoy. |

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.
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.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford 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.
