1963 Mercury Monterey w/ Breezway
back window / 4dr Hardtop

this one 1 of Mercurys Top of the Line models for 1963...
with a really cool optional power back window that slides
up and down, and honestly you are very aware of it while
driving around its so unique.

Some quick history about the car in the last few yrs. This car
has been here in Tucson pretty much its whole life and has
been a daily driver for a lady up till just a few months ago.
BUT about 3 months ago, there was a small engine fire under
the hood. The body was very clean for its ago, but when the
firetruck showed up to put out the fire, they put a nice dent in
the top of the RF fender to make an area to spray into to put
the fire out. The insurance company after the fire said the
car was totalled, so the title then was branded Salvage. It was
far from totalled, but thats not how the insurance company
saw it. But the last owner got paid, kept the car and we bought
it, hence the reason for the title like it is. Turns out while
repairing it and getting it back on the road, we found the rear
float had come apart, causing the carb to flood out, which in
turn we think this is what caused the fire.

To get it up and running faster, we ran new appropriate wires
from the firewall to the starter solenoid, the distributer and
back so the car would start again using the key like normal.
We installed a new carb float and new distributer, cap, rotor
plugs and wires. Within a few minutes the car fired right up and
runs very well actually. The brakes need to be bled some as
I can feel some air in the lines (going to try to do that this week)
But the car has recently had some brake work done too and
the PB do feel good. Because of the wiring not all fixed, the brake
lights are not working as is the back window at the moment.
But I did find a decent used harness for under the hood, and it will

come with the car. If I have time Ill try to get it installed.
I also noticed that there seems to be a small leak in one of the
PS hoses. PS works well, but that hose will need to be replaced soon.

This car runs so well and fun to drive, I almost hope it doesnt
sell, because Id love to keep it and drive it around for the holidays
and use it to go looking at Christmas Lights with the family
this holiday !!

Great color combo : 60s cool Aqua and green colors.
Shows 103k on the odometer and it could be original.

DRIVETRAIN: original 390 4v motor runs and sounds good.
The C6 trans works in all the forward gears, but Reverse
does Not seem to be functional, not exactly sure why.
Engine bay still a little dirty from the fire, so it will need
some cleaning and detailing to make it look nicer. AC all
connected and could possibly work, didnt try it yet but
the last owner said her dad did do work on the AC before
Summer and it worked then. Original rear end with 3:00
gears has no issues.

INTERIOR: for its age looks unrestored and better then most
Az cars this old mostly due to the fact its been in a garage
most of its life here in Az. If it had a new headliner and carpet
it would be almost done for a fun driver.
Dash light look great during night driving , not dim some
older cars and think they are all stock still.
The stock AM Radio works well too and fun to listen to
oldies stations when cruising around.
LF dr flat window cracked, and needs new rollers
for the window. Dr side rear side window off the tracks and
will need at least new rollers or possible regulator. Other 2
windows on the PS are in much better shape.
Power sliding rear back window did work before the wiring
fire, but Im going to try to power it up this week so I can roll
it up and down with the factory switch.
All the chrome inside the car, along the dash is in Amazing
Shape for its age, check out the 150+ pics !!!

Trunk is very clean and original, although the carpet trunkmat
has oil stains on it.

SUSPENSION: just all original Mercury stuff intact and feels ok.
Works fine as is for a daily driver, tires arent too bad either..
also have a receipt in the glove box for an alignment done in
the last yr. The term Land Yacht comes to mind, as it glides
over speedbumps like a old big Merc !
Maybe for a more modern look, toss on some more modern
20" wheels. We actually have a full set available as an
OPTION if there is a winner and they want a set.
Near the bottom of all the pics Ill post a pic of the American
Racing wheels we have available for the car with tires.
Both are new in the box wheels and tires.

BODY: very rust free and straight sheetmetal front to back
BUT you can see some areas that have had some what I call
minor repairs / dents fixed over the yrs and near the rear
there is a new dent on the dr side (see pics)
Floors are very SOLID from under neath

the car, only saw a few small areas that got some rust.
Its very obvious this car has been here in the dry AZ Climate
most if not all its life by the lack of rust on the body.
All the lower areas of the car are very very solid and dont
believe they have ever needed any repairs. (see pics)

EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE
THE PICS BELOW SPEAK VOLUMES but Im sure I may of
overlooked some stuff.

Check out over 100 pics below, be patient it may take a
minute or 2 for them to all load.

SOME NICE OPTIONAL 20" American Racing wheels and Falken Tires

Just above are the OPTIONAL 20" rims and tires we are offering
with the car for an extra $1400 read to bolt on.

THESE CARS ARE ON THE RISE DUE TO THE FACT THAT
THEY ARE GETTING MUCH HARDER TO FIND..
Affordable when compared to most of the collector cars.
Az cars are well known for being the best cars
to buy for a quaility restoration project. How many restored cars
can say they have 90% of their original sheetmetal ?

Our older cars are more
like time capsules most of the country isnt use use to seeing.
If it doesnt meet reserve, email me anyways if still interested.

Probably the BEST represented Mercurys on Ebay.
Shows you all the good as well as any bad.
If you treat yourself to buying one of our cars,
youll never buy a bucket again from anyone !!
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor
intensive which means overall cost is less too !
With less horrid surprises later on.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS

Sat, Jan 21 2023

Ford's now-defunct Mercury Division first began using the Marquis name in 1967, on a sporty full-size hardtop based on the Ford LTD, then began offering the Grand Marquis beginning in the 1979 model year. These big, boxy luxury sedans were replaced by big, curvy luxury sedans (on the same platform) starting with the 1992 model year, so today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very last squared-off Grand Marquises ever built. The 1991 Grand Marquis (or "Grandma Keith," as many refer to it today) looks nearly identical to its 1979 predecessor at a glance, just as the 2011 model doesn't differ much from the 1992 model. Ford saw no reason to follow short-lived fashion trends with its simple, sturdy rear-wheel-drive sedan. Only two Grand Marquis trim levels were available for 1991: the base GS and the (somewhat) upscale LS. The former listed at $18,741 and the latter at $19,241, which comes to about $41,494 and $42,601, respectively, in inflated 2022 dollars). This interior would have seemed comfortingly familiar to a 1968 (or even 1958) Mercury owner time-traveling to 1991. This is the optional "full grain leather seating surface," which cost an extra $489 (about $1,083 today). Dig those opera lights! Air conditioning was standard equipment in the 1991 Grand Marquis and its wagon counterpart, the Colony Park. The engine is the good old pushrod 5.0-liter Windsor V8, which would be replaced by a far more modern 4.6-liter SOHC mill in the '92 Grand Marquis. This engine was rated at 180 horsepower. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available. The early 1990s ended up being the last gasp for padded vinyl roofs being considered mainstream equipment on new Detroit cars; this one was called the "Formal Coach" roof and cost an additional 725 bucks ($1,605 now). Such roofs were still available on a few cars later in the decade, but their time had passed. Why would such a clean Grandma Keith end up in a place like this? That's easy: it got T-boned directly into the right front wheel, mangling the body and bending up the suspension. This damage might have been worth fixing when the car was five years old, but it's a write-off when it happens to a 31-year-old Ford Panther. 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Commercial - Savings Ad The granddaddy of them all, and on sale in South Texas!
