The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ... 

The Ugly:  six hail dimples on drivers side (only not on top or anywhere else).  Carpet very dirty.  Drivers seat fabric worn at shoulder, needs restitch.   Convertible top is worn has two smaller holes, really needs replace.

The Bad:  Minor oil leak at turbo oil supply line, leaves large drop of oil when parked.  Car drifts to right like it needs an alignment on the highway, needs shims on front wheel bearings to correct this.  Passenger window only goes down halfway, goes up fine, they say the cable is getting bound around wheel?  Fog lights do not turn on.  Tires are pretty thin. 

The Good:  Runs amazing.  Newer turbo put in 20,000 miles ago.  Newer short throw shifer.  Everything works except what is mentioned above.  Starts every single time.  Runs, never stalls, never dies.  Awesome to cruise in.  Incredibly fast for an old car, really, blows off Audi's, Porsches etc.  Amazing and real 35 MPG on mid grade gas. 

History:  I may be the 2nd owner and most probably 3rd owner at worst.  I have original owners manual, and factory repair manual which is very detailed.  I do not believe this car has accident history, as it seems very solid to me. 

Shipping etc is responsibility of buyer.  Car is at my house in Colorado Springs.  Pickup there.  Must be paid in full before car goes.  Clear title in hand.

Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Montego MX Brougham Sawzall Convertible Edition

Fri, Apr 21 2017

You know how it goes— the weather is warm, you want to do some top-down driving, and you lack a proper convertible... but you do have a hooptie Detroit car on one side of the garage and a big ol' Sawzall on the other. Put the two together and you have a Sawzall Convertible, which generally lasts for about one summer before it gets scrapped. Here's a fine example of such a car, photographed in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service junkyard. Most Sawzall Convertibles (yes, it should be called a roadster, but nobody does that) have raw, ragged metal edges, or maybe duct tape over the stumps of the amputated pillars, but someone went to the trouble to weld nice smooth metal covers over the hackage on this one. The windshield is gone. Instead, the windshield frame is ringed by tongue depressors held in place by gooey roofing tar. No, we don't know why. The Montego MX Brougham was a hot-selling personal luxury coupe in its day, selling for $3,041 in 1973. That's just under $17,000 in 2017 dollars. It must have been fun, cruising this thing on Bay Area streets with no roof and a rattle-can spray-bomb job. This one has the optional 400-cubic-inch V8 engine, rated at 171 horsepower. What would this car's original buyer have thought of its fate? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill 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!
