1964 Mercury Comet 2 Door Rat Rod Arizona Car Super Solid Matte Black 289 302 Az on 2040-cars
Kingman, Arizona, United States

BARN FIND. I have had this for 10 years and not gotten to it to restore. It is a solid southern car. It was bought in las vegas and it has been in AZ for 10 years now. 1964 mercury comet. It has a small v-8 maybe 289 or 302 with an automatic. It looks like it originally came with a manual transmission. The motor is strong and goes right into gear and brakes work good. The only rust I found was on the passenger floorboard, you can see someone welded in a panel. I took out the seats and carpet for the pics so you can see the floorboards. The seats don't look to be original, my guess would be they are from an 80's mustang. The inner fenders, doors, trunk, quarter panels all look to be rust free. This is a project car that runs and drives. I already know I will get questions if you can hop in a 50 year old car that has been sitting 10 years and drive it across country. This does run and drive, but it needs tires, belts, hoses and electrical work. Please ask all queastions before bidding. It is also highly recommended to look at vehicle in person, by appointment send me your phone number and I will call you back to arrange viewing car. |

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
