1964 Mercury Comet Caliente K-Code 289 4 bl 2 door hardtop. bucket seats with console. I received this car on a trade so I will tell you the information I was told. the car was built in Los Angeles Ca and spent half of its life on the west coast. then was purchased and moved to Ohio where it stayed for 15 years then it was sold to the person I got the car from who said he had the car for 10 years. the car is very original with the original k-code 289 and c4 trans and the original rear end and It does look to be all original. the car was yellow mist with palomino bucket seat interior when built in 1964. the previous owner had the car painted red and black in 9-13 and said the interior was changed to black in 1998.the vin numbers match on the inner fender and the door plate. the paint is not a great job and was not wet sanded so I wet sanded the hood and the top of the fenders and it cleaned up ok. the floors have a couple of patches and the trunk is very solid. it is not a show car it starts up and runs very good. before it can be on the road it will need brake work exhaust work and tires. has a new battery. gas tank was cleaned and sealed. it has 14'' cragers that look to be in very nice shape. everything works all lights inside and out. wipers work heater works. radio is original and does not work. interior and carpet are very clean and need very little attention. body is in good shape with all trim intact. glass is very good no chips or cracks all side windows work great. the steering wheel is not original and I do not have original. the underside needs some work someone in the past has worked on the rear torque boxes and the sub frame rails. needs some more work. the front inner fender wells need some work. the pictures look worse then it really is. the dash is not cut anywhere could use new dash pad. I will not guarantee the 289 is original since I can't check the block numbers. it has a edelbrock carb that is to big for the motor. I was told the motor was rebuilt with a mild cam in 2013. that's all I know about the car and vin number is posted so you can look up any info you might need. bumpers are in great shape no dings or dents could use chrome. |

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."

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
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.
