 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!
