My loss is your gain. I have too many vehicles and one of them has to go. I LOVE my little Comet but I need to make room in my garage for a new arrival. I've owned this car for about 5-6 years and had a blast with it. It turns heads wherever I go. It really is a little beauty. This car is in 95% condition, 5% from being a show car. It runs great and everything is in good working order, except the radio (original AM). The body is straight and it's never been in an accident. The odometer works and reads 42,000 but I have no idea if that's 142,000 or ? The original straight six motor has been replaced with a small block V-8 (302), so there is lots of power. The glass pack dual exhausts give it a nice throaty sound as well. It cruises nicely on the freeway and I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere. This car is ready to roll, anytime and anywhere! Good drive train, good suspension, good tires and brakes and all gauges and lights are functional. Power steering and brakes!
The pictures you see are straight out of the garage after four months sitting. I didn't even wash it. It has been repainted the original factory color (whatever you call that color). It really is beautiful in person. It has a rebuilt 302 V-8, B & M shifter and the upholstery has been redone as close to the original as possible. ALL trim is there (interior and exterior) and in good condition. The front bumper could stand to be re-chromed ( a couple of small blems is all). I'm not desperate for money so please don't make me a low ball offer. If I can't get my price I will just keep it another year and try again. I value this car at $12-15,000 so it's priced to sell. I have more than the high number invested in it, but I've also had several years of enjoyment. Now it's your turn. This is an original California car. After four months in the garage there is a drop or two of oil, that's all. Come and get it! I live in Lawndale, right off the 405. Very weird. I cannot find a way to remove where it says there are 6 cylinders. Trust me there are EIGHT! Also the body type is a COUPE. Again no way to change this, but that's eBay. The driver's side door lock is sticking, not working too well. |

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
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.
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
