Up for sale I have a 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente Sedan with original matching numbers 260 V8. This car is excellent condition. Aside from small surface rust around the back window this car is virtually rust free. The car has about 129,000 miles and still sports it's original 260 V8 - This car was produced in early 1964 prior to the introduction of the 289 at the end of 1964 with the release of the mustang. This is an amazing driver - the car runs and drives excellent and has the power to hang on the highway with the modern guys.
Breakdown of the vehicle :
The motor runs and drives excellent. It has a brand new alternator and voltage regulator. The car has electronic ignition, recent plugs and wires, coil, chrome valve covers, new brake lines all the way around.
The interior is in amazing condition with newly recovered seats in the original factory style. New carpet and headliner. Door panels are in excellent condition with wood grain details and Caliente "C" on the panel. The dash is excellent condition with only minor wear. The car has a dash pad as well. A CD player has been installed with some aftermarket speakers. The original space for the radio was used and the dash was not cut. All dash gauges work and all of the lights work as well. The car has an aftermarket tach. The car has seat belts in the front and back.
The car was painted about 5-6 years ago and has a really nice red exterior with a white top. The chrome and trim on the car are all in great condition. The car has a few minor dents and dings but nothing out of the norm. The only issue the body of the car has is that the drivers fender was replaced and the paint wasn't matched correctly. The front drivers fender just needs a little smoothing out and a paint match - nothing major and it's strictly vanity. The tires a Bf Goodrich raised letter and are in excellent condition.
The under side of the car is excellent condition. The floor pans are perfect and I mean perfect. The floor pans in this car don't even show any surface rust. The frame is excellent condition as well. The car leaks no fluids.
This is a beautiful driver car. It drives excellent and shifts really smooth. The car is complete with all emblems and trim. I have the factory hubcaps that go with the car as well.
Please email with any questions and I will get right back with you.
The car is being sold AS-IS with a Bill of Sale (I do not have a title for the car - as it is not required in this state.)

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
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.
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.
