1963 Mercury Comet Convertible 351w V8 Tremec 5spd Cruiser Hot Rod Classic Ford! on 2040-cars
Lutz, Florida, United States
|
This listing is for a 1963 Mercury Comet Convertible with a clean Florida title and current registration. I have owned it a year or so and it's been a great car, but I have to make room for a new project.
This Comet is a cool restomod/hot rod type build. It blends classic styling and lines with a more modern drivetrain and brakes. This comet is a solid driving car that has never left me stranded. I drive it usually once every week or Two. The paint is a good driver quality, and it shows very well, but it does have a few knicks and chips.The body is also nice and smooth but if you look hard enough you may find a small ding or two. I bought this car from California, and it is completely rust free. The original California black plates will come with the car if desired. The new power top functions correctly. It has heat and defrost, but no a/c. The two tone interior is in great shape and really sets the car off ! This car moves and turns serious heads. Pros: 351 Windsor V8 Tremec 5 speed Hurst shifter Posi rear GM tilt column March pulley kit system Electric fan Disk brakes New top Cons: Few small paint chips and dings Needs new trunk lock The emblems and some chrome could use restoring Could use new window felt Top of aluminum grille needs refinishing Needs new receiver for door solenoid popper Please e-mail me for phone number or with questions. I can send specific pictures upon request. The car is available to be seen by appointment. The car is listed and for sale locally and this listing may end early if sold locally. |

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

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.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
