1960 Comet Up for auction, here is a fun to drive first-year 1960 Comet! This car has the inline 6 cylinder engine and a manual 3-speed transmission. It has had a little restoration work by a previous owner but is believed to be mostly original. We bought the car for my wife about three years ago. It is just like the family car she grew up with, and I was trying to get her interested in the car hobby with me. She liked the idea, but quickly lost interest in the car. I drive it around the neighborhood every couple of weeks or so, and it is a lot of fun with the column shift manual. I don't really have enough time to drive or work on the car, and no good place to store it now, so it needs to go to a new home where it will get proper use and care. Condition: The engine starts right up and the transmission seems to work fine. Brakes, lamps, and all accessories are working. I'm not exactly sure if the engine is original, but the previous owner said it was a 200ci, which would have been an upgrade. The odometer reads 81,943 but I do not know if this is actual miles. The interior of the car is very nice overall - the seats are not torn and the black carpet is nice. The headliner is a little rough, but not bad. The interior lamp lens has crumbled. It has a nice aftermarket radio, mounted under the dash - dash cutout was not modified. The tires were new when we bought it and have full tread. Since purchase, I've replaced one flexible brake hose - and recently it has begun to sound like the exhaust manifold gasket is leaking - but otherwise have had no problems. The exterior of the car presents well. On closer look, it is apparent that the previous owner had inferior paint work done, and there is some rust and filler underneath the paint in the lower quarters which is coming through now. I do not see evidence of any major accident repairs, and I don't think it would take much to make the car very nice. The previous owner did not reveal the rust to us, and knowing better, we took his word and did not pre-inspect the car. I don't recommend that.... This is a great way to get into a cool old car without spending a ton of money. The 'cat-eye' taillights are awesome, and only came on the car for the first two years, before the car was added to the Mercury line. We'll really miss the car. Terms: This car is sold as-is, where-is and
there is no warranty and there are no returns. I'm sure there is plenty that I
haven't thought to write in this ad - I've nothing to hide - please ask any and
all questions prior to auction end - I will send any additional pictures or
answer any questions that you have if they are received promptly. An inspection
prior to purchase is recommended. Let me know a time you'd like to come see the
car. Bidders with low or zero positive
bid history should contact me prior to bidding, or I may remove your bid. Payment: A non-refundable Paypal deposit of $250 is due within 48 hours of the auction end. Full payment in cash on in-person pickup, or via a certified bank check, must be made within 2 weeks of auction end. The car will not be able to be picked up until payment has cleared my bank. The car must be picked up by you or your shipper within 3 weeks of auction end. Shipping: I'll gladly make myself available and will work with the shipper of your choice if needed, but all arrangements must be made by the buyer. We've driven the car around the neighborhood often and it has run fine. We have not made a long road trip with it, so I don't suggest one until you've gone through it first. It is 50+ years old! Thank you and good luck bidding! |

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans
Tue, Nov 24 2015Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats
Wed, Sep 28 2016While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.
