I have a 1975 Mercury comet two door factory a/c car with power brakes and power steering. Its a factory yellow car with black interior kinda a cool not common color option. The car was a 6cyl but has been swapped to a all orginal 302 its a c4 auto in it and has been converterd to floor shift including the steering colum. the drive train on the car is extremly complete the motor is out of a 1974 so its set up for points right now but the car has all the orginal wiring to convert to electronic ignition.The motor does run the carb needs to be rebuilt on it and some hoses are dry rotted from sitting in the arizona sun its alos missing a freeze plug on the block but it looks to be a easy one to get to. it has a 8inch rear end in it with lug the car is sitting on older crager ss rims 15x7 in front and 15x10 in rear the tires all hold air and have great tread they are just dry from sitting. The car has some rust but not what i would consider bad they only bad spot on the floor boards is the passenger side and its not horribel very fixable the rear quater have a small amount but still nothing bad ive seen way worse over all i consider it a pretty soilded car. The interior is pretty guted it does how ever have a nice black head liner in it other than that its pretty empty. the rear has been converted to small bumper i started the front but was never able to find the front comet parts. The area around the trunk lock needs work the previous owner lost the key and it looks like all he could find to remove the lock was a hammer and punch. the car had factory a/c the blower still works and included with the car are all the componets you will need to hook the factory a/c back up, also with the car comes a extra set of tail lights in great shape a extra hood with great trim on it, a perfect comet gas cap, a v8 cross bar, and some other misc parts. This is a awsome project car. any questions feel free to ask and please only bid if you will actually pay local pick up

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
