To my knowledge, the "Monterey" isn't correct, but otherwise you have it.

The Mercury XM-800 Concept car has already featured as a puzzle in Otto's Puzzle #613, almost exactly 2 years ago.
It is the exterior though so does that count as a re-post?

I knew it, that's why I posted a picture of the dashboard. It's not a repost in my opinion.

OK, fair enough.  Just asking.
Although the answer is the same the question was of course completely different!

This car sold for $429,000, including buyer’s premium, at RM’s Automobiles of Arizona Auction in Phoenix, Arizona, on January 22, 2010. It had been sold in unrestored condition a year earlier, for  $315,500. The restorer surely took a bath on this one.
