1971 Mercury Comet, 200 six, auto trans, 8 inch rear end
This car was my sons daily driver for the last few years
we rebuilt the engine and transmission 7000 miles ago
including: rebuilt radiator, new heater core, water pump, hoses ect.
last month we did the front brakes, wheel cylinder and front shocks
back brakes were still good and were done including wheel cylinders when the
engine was done
The body has plenty of dings and small dents but is for the most part all original
I have straight rust free fenders and a door that will go with the car.
All the trim is very straight including the headlight bezels.
The bumpers are faded but fairly straight.
The valance panels are straight as well.
floors are very solid , no rust. the only rust is one spot at the right
rear quarter panel as seen in the pictures
Glass is all good
All electrical works including back up lights and heater
Tires are 50 %
Upholstery is in good shape but needing a headliner and the dash has some cracks.
As you can see it has factory bucket seats that were upholstered last year.
Has a factory AM FM radio
Now the bad news , the transmission is going out starts to whine after it is warmed up and
the fluid smells burned. Still drivable but I would not drive it very far.
also the passenger side upper a arm busings have the typical creaking and need replacement.
would not take much to make it a daily driver or a great car to restore. You will not need
to find any parts for this car. The car it is complete and all original, never modified in any way.
I live in Southern California zip code 92509 one hour East of Los Angles., Three and one half hours south of Las Vegas

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
What do you do with a fake Bugatti Veyron for $60k?
Tue, Mar 29 2016Replica cars are a challenging labor of love because builders spend countless hours recreating a vehicle that people immediately compare to the real thing. Perhaps, the person behind this Mercury Cougar-based Bugatti Veyron should look for another way to pass that time. The coupe is currently for sale on eBay Motors for $59,900. The builder deserves some credit because the fiberglass body looks acceptable in the photos from farther away. The car might even fool a few people from a distance. However, the devil is in the details, and the closer you look, the worse this gets. The side intakes are especially rough. The red interior is atrocious. It's essentially the Cougar's cabin but in an eye-searing shade accented with lots of fake carbon fiber. The seller's eBay Motors ad really tries to market the look, though. "You slide in to [sic] this extremely comfortable leather interior and you feel like your bank account just quadrupled in size," the listing says. Don't expect to win any top speed titles in this Veyron replica, either. Rather than a mid-mounted quad-turbo W16, a 3.0-liter V6 from a Mercury Sable sits at the front. Thanks to an upgraded intake and exhaust, the seller claims, "It doesn't sound like your grandmas [sic] Sable." We wish the seller the best of luck, but the asking price of nearly $60,000 is probably too optimistic. We would still think twice about buying it even after taking a zero off that figure, but at least this thing is fun to look at. Related Video:
