This is a 1974 Mercury Comet with 302 V8 engine C4 automatic transmission, Runs and drives fine. Engine is a custom built 302 V8 with AFR Aluminum Heads ( by far the best aftermarket small-block Ford heads ever designed!) Erson TQ-50 Camshaft, Fluidamper, Edlebrock Performer RPM, Demon Carburetor, Headers with custom dual exhaust with cross-over( high and tight! ) and Flowmaster 2 Chamber mufflers, front Drag shocks,Custom built copper/brass radiator (never overheats!)w/ electric cooling fan, Complete car Kill-switch, Built rear-end with 3.80 Gears and spool.
This Comet has a '73 Maverick hood and grill and front bumper, changed out because the mercury hood was so ugly!
Painted in 2008, electrical system was replaced in 2008 with a Brand NEW wiring kit. All work on this car was done in 2008 and car has basically been in storage since. I hate to sell this ride, but I just have no time for it, at all.
This Comet is not perfect. It does have a few dings and dents but all in all this car just needs a carpet kit, headliner, rear seat, heater/defroster (all available from AutoKrafters.com) and a few minor odds & ends ( just the final things to add your own finishing touches ) and someone with more time to enjoy this car!
This 1974 Comet is an absolute blast to drive! It's very fast! It was built to be a driver that could still hit the 1/4 mile hard. It is great for cruise night! Gets lots of looks, people just love this car! And has spanked many a Camaro and Chevelle.
Car is owned by me and title is free and clear and sold as is.
- Comet is Located in Fallbrook, Ca. about 50 miles North of San Diego, Ca. and about 100 miles south of Los Angeles, Ca.

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!
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
