1963 Mercury Comet California Survivor on 2040-cars
Rancho Santa Margarita, California, United States
|
This is a perfect example of a rust free unmolested CA car. This mercury comet was assembled in Los Angeles California and has always been a garage kept southern California car. All body panels line up perfectly straight. The comet has it’s original 2.8l 170ci six cylinder that runs as
smooth as can be, backed up with an automatic transmission it makes great for
cruising. (The original 3 on a tree was converted to an automatic) Everything has been gone through to make this thing a daily
driver while still keeping all of its originality. New fuel pump, carburetor,
spark plugs, suspension and leaf springs, all aluminum radiator, thermostat,
rear end gone through and completely rebuilt, new brakes on all 4 corners. This
car is very reliable and runs cool even in bumper-to-bumper traffic in Los
Angeles. Paint and interior are original as well; The paint still shows
nice for being this old, but there are some scratches on the passenger side and
the roof is a bit faded as shown in pictures. The interior is very nice with
only a minor scuff on the drivers seat.
A newer radio was installed in the glove box so you can listen to music
while still keeping the original in place. Somewhere along the way the previous owner added some s22 trim,
which adds to the car, but the car is originally a 2 door custom sedan. This
car is perfect to daily drive, cruise on the weekends, take to local shows, or
restore since most of the original parts are there, only missing the hood and
trunk emblem, the window handles for the back seats, and two of the hubcaps.
Has current 2015 tags with clean CA title in my name on hand. Please feel free
to ask any questions. I encourage you to come take a look at the car for yourself
before bidding. Car is being sold as is and buyer pays for shipping. All
inspections of the car must be made before auction ends. A $500 deposit is
required within 48 hours from auction end date. Car is also for sale locally so I
reserve the right to end action early. |

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford 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.
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
