1967 Mercury Comet Base Hardtop 2-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Chula Vista, California, United States
|
I'm selling a 1967 Comet Caliente. it is a 2 dr hardtop. Rebuilt 289 with a Windsor cam and Holley 4bbl intake and 600cfm carb. The trans is a Big C-4 with a mild shift kit and has been rebuilt. Exhaust is a set of Headman shorty headers followed by Flowmaster 2.5 exhaust. I have installed an aftermarket power booster and changed the front to 70 Cougar disc brakes. The Calipers have been rebuilt and the rear has new wheel cylinders. The soft hoses are replaced also. I have the power steering pump rebuilt, but haven't got around to the ram or slave cylinder, and hoses yet. I repaired and replaced some of the floors due to mice in the car. there are still dents all around the car but all easy to fix. and I found two small rust spots about the size of a pencil eraser in the drivers side rear by bumper ( see Pic ). The rear tail panel still needs to be repaired and I haven't had the chance to do it yet, but I have a complete tail panel to replace the damage. The hood is a true Cyclone hood, complete with inserts edge trim ( in trunk ) and the tag in the back corner under the hood. The car is an A/C car, but the guts to the heater core and vent hoses are missing. I added a standard heater core in trunk until one can be found. The gas tank has been cleaned and have an extra one to go with it. Extra parts are included like front fenders and headlight extensions. quarter panel extensions, and a passenger side door from a 2 door post and a few misc parts. The engine runs, and can be driven without the power steering for now. I misplaced the title and have sent away for a new one. It should be here in a couple weeks and will be sent to the buyer. I'm moving out of state soon and if it don't sell I will just take it with me to finish. I also am listing this Car locally so I can take the car off ebay if it sells at any time. |

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
