 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.)

Buyer responsible for any shipping or transport of this vehicle.  I will assist in any way possible to make shipping the car as easy as possible.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford 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.

Junkyard Gem: 1955 Mercury Montclair Coupe

Wed, Jul 20 2022

I find plenty of 1950s Detroit vehicles in the big self-service car graveyards I frequent, but most of them are fairly ordinary sedans that never stood much chance of getting fixed up and put back on the road. Such is not the case with today's Junkyard Gem, which is a top-trim-level, heavily optioned hardtop coupe from one of the most desirable model years of the tailfins-and-chrome postwar era. Nearly every Mercury model ever made was a Ford model with some cosmetic changes applied, and the '55s looked very similar to their mechanically identical Ford brethren. In 1955, the new Mercury came in three trim levels: the entry-level Custom, the medium-zoot Monterey, and the glitzy Montclair. Each was available as a hardtop coupe and four-door sedan, with wagon versions of the Custom and Monterey. The Montclair could be purchased as a convertible or with the wild "Sun Valley" glass roof. The Montclair got its own line of hallucinogenic two-tone interiors, in order to make the daily lives of Europeans feel even more gray and penurious (the UK only dropped food rationing in 1954, and the two Germanies were still clearing the rubble of their blown-up cities). This car's upholstery has been bleached by decades of sitting outside in the harsh High Plains climate, but it started out as vivid red and white "Chromatex" fabric. The list price on this car was $2,631, or about $29,200 in 2022 dollars. The Sun Valley and convertible Montclair each cost $2,712 ($30,100 today). Ford didn't offer a corresponding hardtop coupe in 1955, though the Fairlane Crown Victoria two-door did look extremely snazzy (and cost a mere $2,302— $25,545 now— with the same V8 engine as the Monterey). Meanwhile, Oldsmobile offered the handsome 88 Super Holiday Coupe for $2,714, though the Montclair had the more powerful engine. Oldsmobile had been selling new cars with overhead-valve V8s since the 1949 model year, while Ford didn't ditch the Model A-era flathead V8 for new U.S.-market cars until the 1954 model year (you could buy a new Simca Esplanada in Brazil with an Ardun-headed Ford V8-60 all the way until 1969). GM's Chevrolet Division got all the press in 1955 with the introduction of the brand-new small-block V8 engine, but Ford's 292-cubic-inch (4.8-liter) Y-Block V8 made more power than the 265-cube (4.3-liter) Chevy and the 324ci Olds Rocket 88.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
