1963 1/2 Mercury Comet - Ford Mustang Cobra Engine 302 5.0 on 2040-cars
McAllen, Texas, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1963 1/2 Mercury Comet Sportster Hardtop. I am selling this car because I moved to the city and no longer have room for it at my new home.
I have personally put a lot of wrench-time, care, and work into this vehicle so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. The engine is a 302ci out of a 1999 Ford Explorer (same 5.0 engine as the 1993/94 Cobra) and has less than 1,500 miles on the rebuild. The transmission is a 700R4 that was installed new, not rebuilt, connected to a Lokar shifter on the floor. I installed a VintageAC that works great and blows cold. The heads are the best to ever leave the Ford factory for a 5.0, GT40p that have been ported, polished, and have a 3angle valve job. The cam is a custom grind roller CompCam w/ matching CompCam pushrods, and roller lifters. The roller rockers are 6:1 stainless steel. I searched high and low for the matching genuine Ford Cobra Valve Covers, they have been long out of production and were extremely difficult to find. The exhaust has JBA headers w/ dual Borla 2.5inch exhaust. An oval K&N sits on top of the 650cfm edelbrock carb, a Milodon oilpan sits underneath. This car is NOT a trailer queen, it was not my intention to have a show car, rather something that was nicer than most show cars and I could also drive regularly. This car was a driver for a very short period of time before my move. Please let the photos speak for themselves. It is very well kept, again if you have any questions. Please let me know.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.

Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
