1962 Mercury Comet Base 2.8l on 2040-cars
Junction City, Oregon, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1962 mercury comet 2 door. This car was a california car up until about 4 years ago. We purchased the car from the previous owner who had the car for about ten years and said that it was garaged in california and then in oregon when not being driven, This car approximately 90 percent original from what we can tell and it runs and drives very well. It has a 170 six cylinder engine and automatic transmission. The engine has a little blow by coming out of the vent tube in the front of the engine, I was told this is common for these engines. Starts very easily, no pumping the gas pedal, no choke, just turn the key. The exhaust appears to have been replaced at some point with new original style system. The tires are near new and are 175/80 r13s on 4 lug suspension. The interior is in amazing condition with all gauges, switches are working with the exception of a sticky heater temp switch. No tears in seats, headliner, door panels. On the exterior of the car is the original white paint except for a previous repaint of the top and hood of the car with original color, no damage can be found, and still retains all original sheet metal. There are a few scratches and dings around the car as the pictures will show. The only rust I have been able to find is on the very bottom of the left rear quarter panel, shown in the pictures. This is an amazing running and driving car for being 52 years old and not having been restored. Has a clear title. This car is sold as is and is represented to the best of our knowledge. This car is for sale locally, and if sold the auction will be cancelled.

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.
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."

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.
