1951 Mercury Coupe on 2040-cars
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
|
So, I thought the only thing better than having one 1951 Mercury, was having two, but things have come up, and I need to sell one. This Merc has been in a couple different barns most of its life and was last driven in 1961. It was originally a North Dakota car. It has a rebuilt never run flathead motor, a rebuilt 3 speed with overdrive trans, a rebuilt starter, and many new brake parts. I have over $3000 in receipts for this car. It needs small rust repairs behind wheel in both front fenders, driver side front floor pan patch, both outer rockers(passenger side is just smashed in), driver side inner rocker(I have a 26'' piece of inner rocker I'll give with the car), trunk pan patch, driver quarter panel needs patch in front of wheel and needs dent fix behind wheel, passenger quarter panel needs very small repair in front of wheel, front bumper is dented in passenger corner and pan underneath needs to be pounded flat again. Aside from all these terrible sounding things, the car shouldn't be hard to fix, because all these patch panels are available right here on glorious Ebay! This is a very complete car that still has its interior(though ratty), all garnish moldings, and even the stainless trim! The car needs a generator, gas tank, exhaust, battery and hoses to run. The previous owner said the oil pan leaked and he tried to fix it with JB weld, but it needs to have metal welded in to be right.This will be a great car again for the purest, or a great start at that custom Merc. My reserve price is $7201.00 Please call with any questions and I'll try and answer them for you. 651-235-6983 Sam. I will need a $500 deposit through Paypal within 24 hours of auctions end, then the remaining balance in cash in person, or a certified bank check made out to me within 5 days of auctions close. I will work with the buyers shipping any way I can. Thanks and happy bidding, Sam

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
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.
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.
