Make: Mercury
Drive Type: auto
Model: Comet
Mileage: 0
Trim: Caliente
1964 Mercury Comet that spent most of its life in CA. Body is in pretty good shape with only some minor pinholes in the front floor and some small holes in the rear floor. Everything structural is in good shape. Rails and rockers are good. Right side quarter is solid, Left side quarter has some plastic and will need some patching in front of the rear wheel, but not bad. Cowl is good and the toe boards are good. Car will need paint. PO shot the car white, original color is Aqua with a black interior. 260 v8 will start up and run, but it needs carb work. Auto trans, manual steering and brakes. Starts up and drives, but car should be gone over. I purchased it out of CA. and put it in storage. Interior will need a headliner and weatherstripping, but is mostly original and not terrible. Some of the exerior trim was missing when I got it, but I have found some replacement pieces. Glass is okay with some scratches on the windshield. Was going to make an A/FX clone, but don't have the time. Car is a very solid starting point and not a rot box! Comes with some extra parts. Ask questions and don't bid if you are not serious. Most of the pictures are from when I purchased the car, because it is currently in dry storage but, virtually unchanged from when I got it.

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!
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
