1963 Mercury Comet California Survivor on 2040-cars
Rancho Santa Margarita, California, United States
|
This is a perfect example of a rust free unmolested CA car. This mercury comet was assembled in Los Angeles California and has always been a garage kept southern California car. All body panels line up perfectly straight. The comet has it’s original 2.8l 170ci six cylinder that runs as
smooth as can be, backed up with an automatic transmission it makes great for
cruising. (The original 3 on a tree was converted to an automatic) Everything has been gone through to make this thing a daily
driver while still keeping all of its originality. New fuel pump, carburetor,
spark plugs, suspension and leaf springs, all aluminum radiator, thermostat,
rear end gone through and completely rebuilt, new brakes on all 4 corners. This
car is very reliable and runs cool even in bumper-to-bumper traffic in Los
Angeles. Paint and interior are original as well; The paint still shows
nice for being this old, but there are some scratches on the passenger side and
the roof is a bit faded as shown in pictures. The interior is very nice with
only a minor scuff on the drivers seat.
A newer radio was installed in the glove box so you can listen to music
while still keeping the original in place. Somewhere along the way the previous owner added some s22 trim,
which adds to the car, but the car is originally a 2 door custom sedan. This
car is perfect to daily drive, cruise on the weekends, take to local shows, or
restore since most of the original parts are there, only missing the hood and
trunk emblem, the window handles for the back seats, and two of the hubcaps.
Has current 2015 tags with clean CA title in my name on hand. Please feel free
to ask any questions. I encourage you to come take a look at the car for yourself
before bidding. Car is being sold as is and buyer pays for shipping. All
inspections of the car must be made before auction ends. A $500 deposit is
required within 48 hours from auction end date. Car is also for sale locally so I
reserve the right to end action early. |

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.
Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
