1995 Mercury Villager LS minivan - a seven (7) passenger wagon. Same as a Nissan Quest (see the blurb below) with a bulletproof, non-interference Maxima 3.0L V-6 engine and four-speed automatic transmission. (see photos). Although the van is running fine and drivable, it was hit and needs left-front fender, side light and mechanical attention to the left-front suspension because a part appears to be bent enough that the tire rubs lightly when turned.
Absolutely NO RUST, NO CORROSION, NO LEAKS or DRIPPING FLUIDS. The Villager LS unit came standard with Power Steering, Tilt Wheel with built-in Cruise Controls, Digital Instrument Cluster, Alloy Wheels, ABS 4-Wheel, Keyless Entry, Privacy Glass, upgraded and luxury interior and upholstery (which is in very good condition) with special appointments and trim, inside and out. There are no tears or excessive wear. Can't find the sun visors; they broke off years ago. No leaks or dripping fluid. Nice stereo system. Side-mounted rear A/C and heater controls. Exhaust system has not been modified and is very quiet. Center seating is the optional, removable Captain's Chairs which can also be used in the rear (see table feature below). Rear bench seat folds up and can be positioned anywhere along the tracks, even up against the back of the front Captain's Chairs. This provides a huge cargo area which is accessible from the rear hatch or side entrance and ample space for a camping mattress in a five (5) passenger vehicle. Also, the rear bench seat folds down to provide a table feature with drink holders which can be slid to the rear or the mid section. When slid forward, you can then install the removable Captain's Chairs to the rear of the seat tracks, allowing all passengers to use for dining and game playing. Roof rack is complete, adjustable and fully functional. This wagon was well taken care of before it was hit. Total, verifiable mileage is only 171,161. Clear/clean title ready to go. Thank you for looking at this 1995 Mercury Villager LS minivan/wagon with left-front damage. Here's a few notes on the Mercury Villager minivans: Manufactured and sold by Ford for model years 1993-2002, it is a re-badged and slightly re-designed variant of the Nissan Quest. The Villager was the product of a joint venture between Ford and Nissan and was built at Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. It was Mercury's first of only two minivan models ever featured (second was Monterey). These have almost nothing in common with Ford's Aerostar, Windstar or Freestar minivans. The first Villagers were available in three trim levels: GS, LS (luxury/sport), and the Nautica Special Edition. All Villagers were designed with a Nissan 3.0 liter, V-6, 151 horsepower engine which is a free-wheeling, non-interference engine. This provides 2 important advantages; in the event of a complete engine failure in the course of driving, first, the driver will still have braking and steering power, and second, will not likely to be saddled with the excessive costs involved in replacing bent, cracked or damaged valves, guides, heads, etc. (i.e., engine rebuild) that accompany an otherwise simple repair issue such as a broken serpentine belt, seized alternator or leaky cooling system, as would be the case on an "interference motor". This modified VG30E engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission is the same as used in the highly renown and reliable Nissan Maxima. The Villager sold with either a folding, removable bench-type middle seat, or optionally, two Captain's chairs (bucket seats) which can be mounted in the rear position. The rear seat folds up or down and moved on tracks in the floor, When folded down, it provides a flat, recessed tabletop (with two cup holders) useful when dining, play cards or board games. It could be slid forward to the middle position making a 5 passenger vehicle with ample cargo space, or further forward, all the way to the back of the front seats to make a large cargo space. Mercury Villager chassis was sophisticated compared to other minivans from the '90s; its modern all-coil suspension gave it a more car-like ride and better handling than its competitors. |

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
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. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Junkyard Gem: 1955 Mercury Montclair Coupe
Wed, Jul 20 2022I find plenty of 1950s Detroit vehicles in the big self-service car graveyards I frequent, but most of them are fairly ordinary sedans that never stood much chance of getting fixed up and put back on the road. Such is not the case with today's Junkyard Gem, which is a top-trim-level, heavily optioned hardtop coupe from one of the most desirable model years of the tailfins-and-chrome postwar era. Nearly every Mercury model ever made was a Ford model with some cosmetic changes applied, and the '55s looked very similar to their mechanically identical Ford brethren. In 1955, the new Mercury came in three trim levels: the entry-level Custom, the medium-zoot Monterey, and the glitzy Montclair. Each was available as a hardtop coupe and four-door sedan, with wagon versions of the Custom and Monterey. The Montclair could be purchased as a convertible or with the wild "Sun Valley" glass roof. The Montclair got its own line of hallucinogenic two-tone interiors, in order to make the daily lives of Europeans feel even more gray and penurious (the UK only dropped food rationing in 1954, and the two Germanies were still clearing the rubble of their blown-up cities). This car's upholstery has been bleached by decades of sitting outside in the harsh High Plains climate, but it started out as vivid red and white "Chromatex" fabric. The list price on this car was $2,631, or about $29,200 in 2022 dollars. The Sun Valley and convertible Montclair each cost $2,712 ($30,100 today). Ford didn't offer a corresponding hardtop coupe in 1955, though the Fairlane Crown Victoria two-door did look extremely snazzy (and cost a mere $2,302— $25,545 now— with the same V8 engine as the Monterey). Meanwhile, Oldsmobile offered the handsome 88 Super Holiday Coupe for $2,714, though the Montclair had the more powerful engine. Oldsmobile had been selling new cars with overhead-valve V8s since the 1949 model year, while Ford didn't ditch the Model A-era flathead V8 for new U.S.-market cars until the 1954 model year (you could buy a new Simca Esplanada in Brazil with an Ardun-headed Ford V8-60 all the way until 1969). GM's Chevrolet Division got all the press in 1955 with the introduction of the brand-new small-block V8 engine, but Ford's 292-cubic-inch (4.8-liter) Y-Block V8 made more power than the 265-cube (4.3-liter) Chevy and the 324ci Olds Rocket 88.
