I have no personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1954 Mercury Monterey 4dr Sedan.

It's nice to see a car priced according to it's condition and not what a like new one would sell for. 

Looks like a good start on a fun car to own and drive.

Unless there are unseens I agree that this is a good deal.  Second realistic price I have seen recently.

I agree it looks like a really good deal, especially if it looks good underneath. Just be aware that it has the one year only 256 CID Y-Block. My father had one that he bought new. I had an interesting anomaly. It would suck oil out through the fuel pump when going downhill. One time coming down off of the Skyline Drive there was a guy riding our tail on the 2 lane road. Dad floored it and left the guy in a cloud of blue smoke that would have made James Bond proud. Of course, it also sucked out a quart of oil. He never liked that car and jumped at the chance to buy a 1957 Ford Fairlane Five hundred, a much better car.

My '54 Merc was a black convertible with every conceivable option -

Back during the summer of 1961, the gals would do (almost) anything for a ride-

the guys drooled over it - and over the gals?

First year for Mercury (and Ford) OHV V-8, and tended to have return flow oil circulation issues,

but a stylish, sexy, cool ride .

They sound fantastic with dual exhausts-

and a pair of "Smittys",

or even with a pair of Hush Thrush

Seems like a great price on an honest car, but would like to see underneath photos and more details.
