1960 Mercury Comet 4 door 6 cylinder wagon with 42,665 miles. [But I am having fun driving it every day with the 3 speed on the column, so the the mileage will be slightly higher once purchased] . 95% original car. This is an extremely reliable car that comfortably shares the freeways and backroads with the traffic of today. No expense was spared in making it a reliable, operable car. It starts immediately, runs smoothly and I would have no worry about taking it on a long days drive anywhere. New parts with receipts include these: battery, 4 shocks front coil springs and seats, front end bushings, wheels cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, fuel pump, hood bumpers and insulation, recored radiator, new fuel and brake lines, new gas tank and sending unit, rebuilt carb. Firestone tires are like new. Good exhaust. Original wiper fluid bag. Take a look at the original interior—it shows only minimal use. The driver’s seat is not sunken in from years of use. Beautiful steering wheel and horn ring. Everything works except the radio and heater, and the horn sometimes. The old enamel aqua paint job is a real head turner—usually they ask “where is the surf board?” There are areas on the exterior of flaking, scratches, bubbling, etc as you would expect. The stainless side molding is really nice, and most of these pieces have no dings at all. The original cargo mat is there in great shape. Under it and the carpet you can see surface browning, but no weak spots or holes or rot. The front floor area where your foot goes was replaced previously with heavy welded steel, and two small rust spots on the back floor were repaired, but it is otherwise very solid and roadworthy in all respects. I have the original owner’s manual and the Ford/Mercury Dealer Shop Manual that will be included. Original keys. All windows roll up and down smoothly, including the rear window. The headliner is great, but there is a large hole in it in the back corner about the size of a softball. It could be covered over or, better yet, simply have a new headliner put it. They are readily available for under $150 on eBay and elsewhere. Car can be seen anytime at Charleston, West Virginia. Feel free to call Bill with any questions. Leave message if no answer. 304-389-3900. Thanks for looking.

Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump

Tue, May 2 2017

A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.

Icon and Stealth EV are building an electric Derelict Mercury

Mon, May 14 2018

Icon, a company known for its high-quality restomod vehicles, is building another Derelict, this one a 1949 Mercury coupe. While the fact Icon is building another one of its sleeper hot rods with patina isn't the most shocking, what's under the hood is. The company has teamed up with Stealth EV to turn this latest Derelict into an electric car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car was shown in the above Twitter post with video. The exterior is just what you'd expect from an Icon Derelict. It's solid but with a weathered finish. And even as the guy from Stealth EV approaches the car, it looks like it has a V8 under the hood. But as he explains, there's actually the two motor controllers and half of a Tesla battery pack under there. It's just that they've all been given some classy looking metal casings and mounted to look like a V8. Apparently the motors themselves are in the transmission tunnel. The Stealth EV rep says it uses a pair of AM Racing motors. Depending on which motor controllers the companies are using, those motors could produce as much as 700 horsepower. Power will go to the rear wheels and no transmission will be used, making it direct drive. It will have a limited-slip differential, and the whole car sits on an Art Morrison chassis with independent suspension. This actually isn't the first electric Icon, nor the first developed with Stealth EV. Before this, the companies created a totally awesome electric Volkswagen Thing. That little truck made much less power at 180 horses, but it was also a way smaller and lighter vehicle. Related Video:

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford 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.
