Junction City, Oregon, United States

Up for auction is a 1962 mercury comet 2 door. This car was a california car up until about 4 years ago. We purchased the car from the previous owner who had the car for about ten years and said that it was garaged in california and then in oregon when not being driven,  This car approximately 90 percent original from what we can tell and it runs and drives very well. It has a 170 six cylinder engine and automatic transmission. The engine has a little blow by coming out of the vent tube in the front of the engine, I was told this is common for these engines. Starts very easily, no pumping the gas pedal, no choke, just turn the key. The exhaust appears to have been replaced at some point with new original style system. The tires are near new and are 175/80 r13s on 4 lug suspension. The interior is in amazing condition with all gauges, switches are working with the exception of a sticky heater temp switch. No tears in seats, headliner, door panels. On the exterior of the car is the original white paint except for a previous repaint of the top and hood of the car with original color, no damage can be found, and still retains all original sheet metal. There are a few scratches and dings around the car as the pictures will show. The only rust I have been able to find is on the very bottom of the left rear quarter panel, shown in the pictures. This is an amazing running and driving car for being 52 years old and not having been restored. Has a clear title. This car is sold as is and is represented to the best of our knowledge. This car is for sale locally, and if sold the auction will be cancelled.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When 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.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
