1967 Mercury Comet Base Sedan 4-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Pullman, Washington, United States
|
I am selling my 1967 Mercury Comet. The Caliente is a so-called
intermediate-size Mercury and comes as a 4-door sedan. The engine is a
289 cu.in. V8 with 200hp.
Condition: The car has around 100.000 + 1800 miles (might change slightly until the end of the auction) on the odometer and is in decent condition. The color is robins's eggblue. The paint job is in good condition considering the age, but there are a couple of scratches and a few rust spots on the exterior (compare images). The car leaks tiny amounts of fluids every now and then, but nothing that ever needed to be fixed. I put on white-wall tires which are still under warranty for at least 3000+ miles. The car was already lowered when I bought it. The exhaust pipes have been adapted to this lowering kit and new rear shocks have been installed recently. The battery and the choke assembly have been replaced in July. After the winter the carburetor made problems, so I purchased a re-manufactured carburetor and replaced it also in July. The car starts and runs smoothly. As with most old cars with a carburetor, fine adjustments need to be done to adapt it to the time of the year. The interior is in nice condition and the black leather seats are barely scratched or ripped. There is a car stereo (hidden CD/radio with boxes in the front and back) - nothing fancy, but it works fine, even with the rumbling sound of the car in the background. The original radio is also operational, but was never used by me. The drivers' door window has trouble going up all the way without a small push and the window trim has seen better times. The car looks overall looks and drives nice for its age and is always a conversation starter wherever you go. History: I am aware of one pre-owner from whom I bought the car, but I do not have any additional information concerning the cars' history. Extras: I have an original registered owners' manual as well as a 1967 Mercury shop manual explaining every part of the car and its maintenance in great detail. There is also additional equipment, such as studded winter tires (back) and brand-new car jacks with extra stands. Payment/Warranty: You are welcome and encouraged to inspect and drive this vehicle before bidding. Please ask all of your questions before bidding. For any questions or additional information, please contact me and I will try to answer you as fast as possible. Payment by cashier check/cash, after an immediate PayPal deposit only. Payment in full due within 7 days of auction ending. The car will not be shipped or released until all funds (including cash) have cleared my PayPal/bank account. Please note: Vehicle is sold as-is. No warranty written or implied. No refunds. No International sales. Local buyers are preferred. Shipping: The buyer will be responsible for arranging the pick-up ad/or shipping of the vehicle. |

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.
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
