This is a 1967 Mercury Comet Capri. It has been redone in the last 10 years. It is a complete car ready to be a daily driver or ready for completion to make a nice show car. Ford V8 289 2 Barrel carburator. It is the base package Capri Model. The air cleaner has the Hi-Po sticker it is the stock 289.

The Good: Complete car
- All chrome trim is there and in really great shape.
- Dash - in great shape and all gauges & switches work and in really great shape
- Little to no rust
- All panels and exterior in great shape
- Strong running motor
- Engine bay is clean and painted black
- Solid crisp shifting transmission
- Solid dual exhaust with nice sounding mufflers
- Fitment: Doors, hood, & trunk all close and work smoothly
- Brakes work great

Bad
- Interior: could use new carpet, but satisfactory. The color on seats is dark, but no rips in seats and not dirty.
- Engine: burning a bit of oil and running a bit rich. But cranks up and runs strong - solid motor for refresh and upgrades.
- Exhaust: needs donut gasket on passenger side
- Vinyl Top: small section on driver's side has been repatched (pictured)
- Paint: there are bad spots, with some poor touch up with spray paint, but all the metal surfaces are covered and protected from rust. Looks sharp as is, but would pop with new paint job.

Bottom line, this is a solid car with minimal investment could be a sharp cruiser. You won't be disappointed. It is a great foundation. I drove it 80 miles home when I bought it. Would make a sweet daily driver.

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.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford 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.
