Up for sale I have a 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente Sedan with original matching numbers 260 V8. This car is excellent condition. Aside from small surface rust around the back window this car is virtually rust free. The car has about 129,000 miles and still sports it's original 260 V8 - This car was produced in early 1964 prior to the introduction of the 289 at the end of 1964 with the release of the mustang. This is an amazing driver - the car runs and drives excellent and has the power to hang on the highway with the modern guys.
Breakdown of the vehicle :
The motor runs and drives excellent. It has a brand new alternator and voltage regulator. The car has electronic ignition, recent plugs and wires, coil, chrome valve covers, new brake lines all the way around.
The interior is in amazing condition with newly recovered seats in the original factory style. New carpet and headliner. Door panels are in excellent condition with wood grain details and Caliente "C" on the panel. The dash is excellent condition with only minor wear. The car has a dash pad as well. A CD player has been installed with some aftermarket speakers. The original space for the radio was used and the dash was not cut. All dash gauges work and all of the lights work as well. The car has an aftermarket tach. The car has seat belts in the front and back.
The car was painted about 5-6 years ago and has a really nice red exterior with a white top. The chrome and trim on the car are all in great condition. The car has a few minor dents and dings but nothing out of the norm. The only issue the body of the car has is that the drivers fender was replaced and the paint wasn't matched correctly. The front drivers fender just needs a little smoothing out and a paint match - nothing major and it's strictly vanity. The tires a Bf Goodrich raised letter and are in excellent condition.
The under side of the car is excellent condition. The floor pans are perfect and I mean perfect. The floor pans in this car don't even show any surface rust. The frame is excellent condition as well. The car leaks no fluids.
This is a beautiful driver car. It drives excellent and shifts really smooth. The car is complete with all emblems and trim. I have the factory hubcaps that go with the car as well.
Please email with any questions and I will get right back with you.
The car is being sold AS-IS with a Bill of Sale (I do not have a title for the car - as it is not required in this state.)

Thu, Jan 12 2017The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Four minor accidents and no injuries are attributed to one of these conditions.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
