My loss is your gain. I have too many vehicles and one of them has to go. I LOVE my little Comet but I need to make room in my garage for a new arrival. I've owned this car for about 5-6 years and had a blast with it. It turns heads wherever I go. It really is a little beauty. This car is in 95% condition, 5% from being a show car. It runs great and everything is in good working order, except the radio (original AM). The body is straight and it's never been in an accident. The odometer works and reads 42,000 but I have no idea if that's 142,000 or ? The original straight six motor has been replaced with a small block V-8 (302), so there is lots of power. The glass pack dual exhausts give it a nice throaty sound as well. It cruises nicely on the freeway and I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere. This car is ready to roll, anytime and anywhere! Good drive train, good suspension, good tires and brakes and all gauges and lights are functional. Power steering and brakes!
The pictures you see are straight out of the garage after four months sitting. I didn't even wash it. It has been repainted the original factory color (whatever you call that color). It really is beautiful in person. It has a rebuilt 302 V-8, B & M shifter and the upholstery has been redone as close to the original as possible. ALL trim is there (interior and exterior) and in good condition. The front bumper could stand to be re-chromed ( a couple of small blems is all). I'm not desperate for money so please don't make me a low ball offer. If I can't get my price I will just keep it another year and try again. I value this car at $12-15,000 so it's priced to sell. I have more than the high number invested in it, but I've also had several years of enjoyment. Now it's your turn. This is an original California car. After four months in the garage there is a drop or two of oil, that's all. Come and get it! I live in Lawndale, right off the 405. Very weird. I cannot find a way to remove where it says there are 6 cylinders. Trust me there are EIGHT! Also the body type is a COUPE. Again no way to change this, but that's eBay. The driver's side door lock is sticking, not working too well. |

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
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.
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.
