1963 Mercury Comet
I have owned it for ten years and only put about 3,k miles on since I purchased it. Its originally an Oklahoma car, that's why it's in such good condition. Its always been garaged and I never drove it during the winter salt/snow. The prior owner found it in Colorado and sold it to me because he needed a airline ticket to get married in Australia. The first time I saw this car I was amazed. All the awesome chrome details, and the way they sculpted the back to look like a Titan rocket won me over. When I take it to the car show I get an amazing response! My plan was to transition it into a cool 60's sport sedan like they do with late model four doors, I figured that would overcome most of the 4dr uncool stereotype. My vision was to drop in a small block ford and make it go as fast as it looks sitting still. Along with that, I also was going to give it a fresh eye popping paint job. I realize that this ride needs both of those items. I figured that most people wanting to purchase it would have these things in mind as well. This vehicle does has every chrome bit trim present and good condition. I think that any enthusiast can appreciate not having to spend time looking for 50 year old out of production parts. With that in mind, I think that it has all the key aspects of a great build. I have just run out of time and space for this project so anyways, I want to find a good home for it where someone will love this car as much as I do. I feel that the value in its current state is somewhere between the NADA average retail and low retail, and if I get that I will be pleased if it goes to someone who appreciates a piece of americana and isn't going drive it in the salt or send it to the crusher. http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1963/Mercury/Comet/4-Door-Sedan/Values More pictures can be viewed at: http://s1342.photobucket.com/user/Motorsport-Assault/library/Comet more pictures coming...please be patient Craigslist ad: http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/cto/4143463513.html VIN#3H02U514523 3= Model Year H=Lorain, OH assembled 02=Body Series- Comet 4dr Sedan 6 passenger U=6 cylinder 170 cubic inch engine 514523=production sequence *Total production of 02 body series in 1963= 623!!!!!!!!!!!! * cited from http://www.oldride.com/library/1963_mercury_comet.html http://www.mercurystuff.com/1963-comet-vehicle-identification.html http://www.tpocr.com/lincolnbp3.html Wheelbase=114" Overall Length=194.8" Curb weight=2,644lbs Tires brakes and shocks were replaced recently Automatic Transmission Pickup within 14 days of purchase No Tire kickers No Low-ballers Serious Inquires only |

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.

Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."
