1966 MERCURY COMET CONVERTIBLE CALIENTE Up for your bidding pleasure is a '66 Comet Convertible 289 automatic. The story behind this car is as follows: a buddy of mine owned this car for 5 years and drove it occasionally around the block with his dogs and the top down. His wife just had a baby and therefore had no further use for the car. I purchased the car from him 2 months ago. The paint is fairly new and pretty decent with a few nicks and scrapes from sitting. Also, it has a fiberglass hood with some spidering in the paint and a crack near one of the hinges. He never got around to putting all of the trim pieces back on. I installed most of the trim pieces with the exception of the rocker mouldings (which are missing and do not come with the car), and the top surround chrome (which IS included with the car). This car is not a show car, nor is it a rat, but merely a fun, presentable, daily driver. It does need some TLC and some tinkering but is drivable while doing so. The wheels and tires are new, the exhaust consists of headers and dual mufflers. It also has after-market power front disc brakes. The power top pump operates and the top does go up and down with assistance (there may be air in the system, not sure). The seats and the door panels were redone. There is no carpet. The front floors have been patched and the left rear floor has two minor holes that would need to be patched. The trunk is in decent shape. The true mileage of the car is unknown but eBay requires a number in that field, therefore the 999,999 entry. Once the engine is warm, there is a low-end noise. The car has been driven like this for the past 5 years with no issues. I recently took a 60 mile trip with no problem at all. Overall, the car just needs to be taken to the next level, but for the price, it's a great start. A good car for the money. The State of Connecticut does not require titles on old cars and this car will be sold with a Bill of Sale only. If this is a problem, please do not bid. This car is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. I also have some extra pieces (stock steering wheel, arm rests, trunk-lock cylinder, etc.) that will be included with the sale of the car. Thanks and good luck bidding! |

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
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.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
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.
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never 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.
