 You are bidding (hopefully) on a very nice 1970 Mercury Monterey 4 door sedan.  The car is in very good condition, with a 390 cubic inch V-8 engine that has been rebuilt and RUNS GREAT.  And the best part is...NO SMOG!  I bought this car from a gentleman who had the engine rebuilt in May of 2004, then put very few miles on it.  I even have the receipts from the engine builder. He had the builder install a high-rise aluminum manifold and a Holley 4-barrel carb, as well as dual exhaust that really resonates (but without being obnoxious).  Power and acceleration are excellent, yet mileage is actually fairly decent at about 15-16 mpg on regular gas.  Oil pressure hot is at 40psi at speed, and about 20-25 at idle.  Temperature remains at about 165.  Mechanical oil pressure and water temperature gauges have been added to the dash, and look like they came with the car. The c-6 transmission shifts well, and there are no leaks.  The car is equipped with a working air conditioner and heater, am/fm cassette (aftermarket), and a CB radio antenna.  The interior is in very good shape; the seats have been upholstered in cloth, and are very comfortable.  There a few small blemishes in the upholstery, including a small tear in one of the door panels.  The knobs on two of the window handles are missing, and the carpet on the  drivers side floor is worn through.  The rest of the carpet is in very good condition.  There is no rust on or under the body, and the original paint still shows a shine, although it is starting to wear after 43 years.  You can see in the pictures where there are some scratches and dings.  The vinyl top is still in fairly good condition, although, as the picture shows, there is a spot where it is starting to crack.  But, with care, it still has some years before replacement is necessary.  This Mercury is equipped with front disc brakes that work very well.  Lights, heater, horn, ac, radio/tape player, and gauges all work.  This car is alot of fun to drive--big, powerful, and it floats down the road like a cloud.  Car is located in Torrance, Ca (just southwest of Los Angeles).  No warranty is expressed or implied; the car is sold as is, where is.  Payment can be made by cash or certified cashier's check (we'll go to my credit union together if you want to use this method).  $500.00 deposit required within 48 hours of end of auction; balance due within 7 days of end of auction.  If you have negative feedback or less than 5 e-bay transactions, you must e-mail me BEFORE bidding, or your bid will be cancelled.  Please do not bid unless you intend to buy.  Remember, this car is 43 years old; it's not brand new.  But, it's still a really nice car, and it's sure fun to drive something different!  Good luck!

Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?

Wed, May 25 2016

Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
