IT'S TIME!?!?! :)Check out these details and let me know if you'd like to make an offer so you can get out there and DRIVE!!!Hey you. serious buyer:  I need to get this car sold to make room for another so make me an offer!

 

Hello and thanks for your interests in my “Big M!” – see pictures… THE TOP LUXURY COUPE OF IT'S DAY. bar none!

 

Highlights and Issues:

·         1957 Mercury Monterey with genuine Ford TurnPike Cruiser Engine!

·         Originally a Pennsylvania owned car. then to Florida. then to me in Colorado…I am the third owner.

·         Turn-key ignition; not the push button ignition but all push button gears remain and all work perfectly; Drive. Reverse. Low. N/S. and Stop Brake button

o   Features POWER STEERING that responds perfectly for this heavy beast!?!?! - Rated at exactly 4. 00 pounds according to original manufacturer specs.

o   Car drives easily with one hand!

o   It does pull slightly to the right when braking…needs alignment or maybe it's just HEAVY!?!?!

o   Ignition and Oil lamp lights work as they should

·         Confirmed original Ford Y-Block engine; 368 c. u. with 290 h. p. TURNPIKE CRUISER ENGINE with original valve covers!

·         Mileage = only 45. 00!

·         Includes original Mercury ignition and trunk keys!

·         As you can see. the expected wear and tear on a (56 year-old) car;

o   Original bumpers; top two pieces on front bumper and entire rear bumper was painted by previous owner = just needs to be re-chromed

§  No dents. no rust. no deep scratches…

o   Stainless Trim pieces intact and in decent condition; minor dings and dents…

·         I believe this car was originally BLACK (see inside driver door panel picture) but professionally repainted red

o   Some small bubbles on the rear panels and trunk

o   A few minor cracks in the paint on the top panels near the Mercury symbol by the rear window

·         Interior was recently refurbished and the interior is original;

o   Vinyl bench seats are Tri-color and in excellent condition

o   Dashboard was re-padded back to original condition

§  A few stubborn and one missing knob on the dashboard

o   New glove-box; restored back to original

o   Original but cracked steering wheel

o   Original horn button and extra horn button

o   Gauges work except right turn signal

o   Wind shield wiper motor is new but not working

o   Newly installed grey floor carpeting

o   No radio; only the radio bay/space so you can track an original radio down or put in something newer!

o   Original fender skirts also included!

o   1958 Chilton's Mechanics and Parts Books also included! - The perfect true reference for anything and everything about this car and many others from this time period!

·         Brand new Master Cylinder for the brakes

·         Brand new Sincera tires on the rear with excellent condition Cooper Cobra tires on the front; all 215/70/R15 tires.

·         Rally rims are perfect fit for this car but do show some wear and fading

·         Dual Exhaust with chrome tips!

·         Collectible and original 1958 Repair and Parts manuals included!

·         Trunk is clean and HUGE! - No spare.

·         Hood release works perfectly; hood opens toward the front. not conventional which I love!!!

·         Engine bay is super clean. especially for this car's age;

o   Brand new battery post cables

o   Brand new Air Filter

o   Newly painted air filter housing and some other custom painting that can easily be re-done.

o   Fan is in excellent condition

·         Only surface rust on under carriage of entire car; as expected but no rot/rust – SOLID and STRAIGHT BODY and FRAME!

·         Glass for this car is excellent and all original but it does show significant wear (yellowing around edges and small pitting)

o   Trim pieces are out of alignment and there are significant gaps between wing windows and main door glass

·         Anything else you want to know. please ask!  Plenty of other pictures to share for serious bidders only. dealers welcome.

 

 

THIS IS A GREAT. RARE. DAILY-DRIVER QUALITY COLLECTIBLE CAR. period!

 

COMPLETE DISCLOSURE so ask anything. test drive it. take your own pictures. ask questions. I'm happy to help arrange shipping as well but it costs whatever the transporter wants (you will have to work that out with them. not me).

 

Again. I am happy to disclose everything about my car so there are NO REFUNDS when you buy this car because there will be NO SURPRISES. plain and simple. The way it should be!

  

. motivated seller because I do not want to store this great car over winter. THANKS!
