This is one of the cleanest Comets you'll ever see! Drive Anywhere!

289 Windsor V8, C4 auto transmission, power steering, no A/C. All original (except engine has been rebuilt).

BTW, that's just water in the street. The car doesn't leak at all.

The Good:

It has a very high end paint job that is incredible. It's flat and pearl and turns heads
It's SOLID. All floor pans, rockers, doors, trunk etc. There is only very minor surface rust that isn't visible
STRAIGHT
Clean title in hand
I am the 3rd owner of the car. The last owner owned it since 1971
Doors open and close nicely
Top works great and has been re-canvassed
Brakes and starter are brand new
Engine fairly recently was rebuilt and heads have hardened valve seats so it runs on 87 unleaded easily
All new control arms, power steering, sway bar mounts, end links, etc.
All 4 tires are like new
Gauges all work
C4 transmission shifts flawlessly
Comes with boxes and boxes of trim and molding pieces and odds and ends, including the 4 original Comet wheel covers
Has ALWAYS been garaged

The Bad (The Interior!):

The interior has not been worked on other than the front seat being re-covered.
The panels and carpet are old and brittle
The front carpet is decent but rear carpet is bad
There is no body rot anywhere, but door panels do need attention
The dash pad has 2 cracks in it
The GOOD news is the interior is mostly metal and can be re-painted at a minimal cost

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never 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: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford 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.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
