You are bidding on a Super Rare 1962 Mercury Comet villager wagon barn find!. This is a two owner California car. Pulled out of california back in april 2014! A doctors wife owned the car until 2006. All the registration cards were in the car from 1962 to the 80s. I have the original pink title from 1962 also! Its a 53,000 mile car that runs and drives! its pretty much 100% original. Car has air conditioning, 6 cyl. No accidents. has original exhuast. Car is 98% rust free and the most major rust is on the cowl panel along the firewall. I have a complete cowl but it very easily could be fixed. Car fires right up and purs like a kitten! The underneath of the car was stripped of its paint to be undercoated. It was treated and it is unbelievable how nice it is. The out side of the car is all original paint except for bottom halfs of both fenders as i believe someone sprayed some paint of some sort on them. There were only 2300 Villager wagons made in 1962 and i would imagine you will be hard pressed to find one this nice, one with a roof rack and ac and this nice
The body has a couple dents here and there, car obviously needs a restoration but is amazingly clean. glass is really nice, all the wood grain trim is there, mostly in very good condition and very restore able, interior is very nice. Has new carpet. Floor boards are amazing and in great condition. I think the battery box, the c on hood and the two pieces on top of the front fenders are the only items missing. Has a new antenna mast for it. ac unit says mercury on it, Has the rear wheel covers also. good luck!!!!!!! CAR IS LISTED LOCALLY AS WELL I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION AT ANY TIME!

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!
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.
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri
Mon, Sep 19 2016Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
