1971 Mercury Comet, 200 six, auto trans, 8 inch rear end
This car was my sons daily driver for the last few years
we rebuilt the engine and transmission 7000 miles ago
including: rebuilt radiator, new heater core, water pump, hoses ect.
last month we did the front brakes, wheel cylinder and front shocks
back brakes were still good and were done including wheel cylinders when the
engine was done
The body has plenty of dings and small dents but is for the most part all original
I have straight rust free fenders and a door that will go with the car.
All the trim is very straight including the headlight bezels.
The bumpers are faded but fairly straight.
The valance panels are straight as well.
floors are very solid , no rust. the only rust is one spot at the right
rear quarter panel as seen in the pictures
Glass is all good
All electrical works including back up lights and heater
Tires are 50 %
Upholstery is in good shape but needing a headliner and the dash has some cracks.
As you can see it has factory bucket seats that were upholstered last year.
Has a factory AM FM radio
Now the bad news , the transmission is going out starts to whine after it is warmed up and
the fluid smells burned. Still drivable but I would not drive it very far.
also the passenger side upper a arm busings have the typical creaking and need replacement.
would not take much to make it a daily driver or a great car to restore. You will not need
to find any parts for this car. The car it is complete and all original, never modified in any way.
I live in Southern California zip code 92509 one hour East of Los Angles., Three and one half hours south of Las Vegas

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
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."

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
