1963 Mercury Monterey Custom Convertible on 2040-cars
Midland, Michigan, United States
Hello, I had some mistakes in my original listing, so I`ll try again. This 63 Mercury is disassembled for restoration and does not run. The car is complete but in need of a total restoration This Mercury has a very nice virtually rust free body as its been in dry storage since being brought back east from California in 1984 and is loaded with very rare factory options including, power windows, power bench seat, swing a way steering column, air conditioning, duel spot light mirrors and factory script seatbelts. Some of these options I have obtained separately and were not on the car but come with it if it hits its reserve price. The chrome and stainless on this car is awesome and it comes with new old stock seat covers and a new convertible top in the box as well. I also have a correct but not numbers matching 1963 390 4bl 300HP engine and transmission for this car that is out of the car, torn down, and ready for rebuild. Also I have most of the parts off of another `63 Merc convertible plus many extra parts that I have picked up over the years. At this time I`m not interested in selling any parts and will try to post more pictures this weekend. This car has a salvage title. Please feel free to ask questions. This Mercury will make a great project and a beautiful convertible when restored! Thank you.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

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.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
