Rust Free 1954 Mercury Monterey Sun Valley on 2040-cars
Oroville, California, United States
|
For sale or trade is an extraordinarily solid and completely rust free 1954 Mercury Monterey Sun Valley 2 door hard top. This is and always has been a Northern California car and has been stored inside for many years. This car is complete with all parts and many extra parts including a near new glass top. The Sun Valley has amazing potential for restoration as it has never been in any significant accident, has no bondo, no rust. The doors and windows all close tight and are still in great shape. The glass is all excellent with an exception in the drivers wing window which has a crack. The windshield and all other glass is clear and certainly usable. The trunk, undercarriage, floor boards, fender and inner wells are all rust free. Even places where you might expect some rust just over time are clean and solid. The interior is intact but removed so pictures could be taken of the floorboards. The engine turns over but I have never tried to get it started and is also complete. The brakes, while intact, do not function. The chrome is all there and mostly usable as it is and what isn't can be easily re-chromed. The body is extremely tight with good solid body lines, no door fatigue. I am not really into Mercury and bought the car because I was impressed with the condition and the well preserved and unmolested restorable shape she is in. The drive train is intact but I have no knowledge of the condition of the trans or differential except for the appearance. There are fender skirts, sun visors and many other extra parts that will go with the car. Please call 530-519-2195 or email with any questions. The car is stored inside and can remain there free of charge for a reasonable amount of time. The car comes with a clean and original Calif. title and lots of information about the car and available parts. I have seen these cars go for upwards of $70,000.00 and am told they are very rare and desirable. I will assist in shipping all I can but the cost is the responsibility of the buyer. Please check out all the pics and ask any questions prior to bidding and please have the funds available when you do bid, thanks |

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
