1965 - Mercury Monterey on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
My super rare 1965 Mercury Monterey with a 6.4L 390 big block and factory 3-Speed two door coupe. Local Burbank California car since new. This car was a special order car from the factory with no A/C, no radio, no reverse lights and a 3-speed on the column. According to gentlemen he strictly ordered this car from the factory for one purpose which was to tow his 31' Air stream trailer and that this was the last produced off the line, but I have no way of proving this. Only his word and he has since passed. Please take a close look at the pictures of this car to truly understand uniqueness and rarity. There were a little over 5700 Monterey coupes built in 1965 mostly automatic transmission. I don't recall ever running into a full size sedan that has a factory 3-speed mated to a big block. The car is very powerful, drives like a dream, sounds excellent and gets a lot of compliments every time it's driven. The cars mileage is the original 71000, the body is Super Straight with only the exception of the right rear corner (seen in picture) and a small rust spot on the rocker the size of quarter. The car was painted the original color by Macco back in 1982. There are a box full of original parts of the car such as the arm rests mirrors, manual, a brand new water pump and miscellaneous stuff that I have never had a moment to go through.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
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.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
