1965 Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible - No Reserve on 2040-cars
Union, New Jersey, United States
|
NO RESERVE - Bid to own this cool old car. Here is a neat '65 Mercury Comet Caliente convertible, ONE OF ONLY 6,035 MADE, ready to be used and enjoyed. The car has been garaged most of its life and has been professionally maintained since my father-in-law got it nearly 20 years ago. >It has a good running 289 two-barrel V8 engine backed up with a C4 automatic transmission. >The engine has had a recent tune up and a Pertronix electronic ignition installed. >The car has had its brake system redone from the wheel cylinders on up. >The car was repainted in its original color a few years ago to driver quality finish. >A new convertible top was professionally installed four years ago. >The interior is all original except for the carpeting and is in nice overall condition. >The dash pad and factory steering wheel are in virtually perfect condition. >There is an under-dash AM/FM Cassette stereo installed and the factory AM radio is still in the dash, unmolested. >All of the glass is in good condition and the windows all roll up and down easily. >The chrome and stainless trim is in decent shape with only one of the "V8" badges missing from the driver's side fender. >The unique Caliente tail light trim is complete with minor pitting. >The bumpers are straight with decent chrome, though the back bumper does have one rust spot hiding under a small bumper sticker. >The extruded aluminum grill is very nice and all the other emblems are in place and in decent driver quality condition. >An amateur rust repair was made to the driver's side floor pan then the undersides were completely coated with POR-15. >The doors, hood and trunk open and close easily with no binding or problems though the trunk lid spring is a little weak. >The heater core went bad a few years ago and has not been replaced since it is never out in bad weather or winter time. It's a fairly cheap part and a pretty easy repair if you want to put it right. This is a great driver quality car that needs pretty much nothing to enjoy.

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.
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."

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.
