1960 Mercury Comet Station Wagon 42,665 Miles Great Aqua Color & Stock Interior on 2040-cars
Charleston, West Virginia, United States
1960 Mercury Comet 4 door 6 cylinder wagon with 42,665
miles. [But I am having fun driving it every day with the 3 speed on the column,
so the the mileage will be slightly higher once purchased] . 95% original car. This
is an extremely reliable car that comfortably shares the freeways and backroads
with the traffic of today. No expense was spared in making it a reliable,
operable car. It starts immediately, runs smoothly and I would have no worry
about taking it on a long days drive anywhere. New parts with receipts include
these: battery, 4 shocks front coil springs and seats, front end bushings,
wheels cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, fuel pump, hood bumpers and
insulation, recored radiator, new fuel and brake lines, new gas tank and
sending unit, rebuilt carb. Firestone
tires are like new. Good exhaust. Original wiper fluid bag. Take a look at the original
interior—it shows only minimal use. The driver’s seat is not sunken in from
years of use. Beautiful steering wheel and horn ring. Everything works except
the radio and heater, and the horn sometimes. The old enamel aqua paint job is
a real head turner—usually they ask “where is the surf board?” There are areas on the exterior of flaking, scratches, bubbling, etc as you would
expect. The stainless side molding is
really nice, and most of these pieces have no dings at all. The original cargo
mat is there in great shape. Under it and the carpet you can see surface browning,
but no weak spots or holes or rot. The
front floor area where your foot goes was replaced previously with heavy welded
steel, and two small rust spots on the
back floor were repaired, but it is otherwise very solid and roadworthy in all
respects. I have the original owner’s manual and the Ford/Mercury Dealer Shop
Manual that will be included. Original keys. All windows roll up and down
smoothly, including the rear window. The headliner is great, but there is a
large hole in it in the back corner about the size of a softball. It could be
covered over or, better yet, simply have a new headliner put it. They are
readily available for under $150 on eBay and elsewhere. Car can be seen anytime
at Charleston, West Virginia. Feel free
to call Bill with any questions. Leave message if no answer. 304-389-3900.
Thanks for looking. |

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
