All original 1959 Mercury Monterey 4 door Sedan with it's original black paint. Once you go black you never go back. Has 43132 original miles. Runs and drives great and has no power steering and no power brakes. I believe the engine is the big block 383 but it could be the 312, I don't know how to tell the difference but I was told it was the 383. It has a crack in the windshield, all the other glass looks good. Hood has a dent in it right in the front. See picture. When I say this car is original, I mean original. It has the original spark plugs, wires and runs great. The black paint does have a lot of patina but is still very shiny and original. Not much rust to talk about. The chrome and stainless are shiny and very presentable but does have pitting. Interior is all original and as you can see in the pictures the front seat looks like a poodle went crazy in it. All windows go up and down properly, and all lights work. I could not get the radio or wipers to work but they still might be good. This is a nice original car that is unmolested and can be drove to any of your local car shows or Dairy bar with no issues. I don't claim it to be perfect, I claim it to be old and original.
If you have any questions you can leave a message or call Howard at 513-615-9443. If this doesn't wet your whistle please see my other cars I am listing. I am going to be listing cars every couple weeks because I am fading out my collection before they run out of gas.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
