A TRUE BARN FIND!!! Up for bid is a 1963 Mercury Comet Custom Convertible All original Factory V8 260 CU. 4 Speed, AC !!! The original owner got this car when she was in High School as a gift from her Dad and kept it until I purchased it from her about 2 months ago. Well I have decided to sell it; as much as I would like to keep it and just drive it like it is. The only rust on the car is on the drive side rocker panel. Which is a quick fix and I have another rocker for it, But really doesn't need it. Because I do body work and could fix it in a few hours, but I don't have the time. I pulled all the spark plugs out and shot some WD40 and Tranny fluid in each cylinder put the plugs back in and let it sit for about two weeks, I then took the plugs out again and turned the motor over by hand and it was free!!! I put the plugs back in it and put a battery in it and it turned right over. The Original owner parked the car because she bought a new one and would only drive the car about once a month and it ran when it was last parked for good in the early 90's. I have the original PINK slip and original owners manual, original keys along with the original registration slips that she gave me and she was going to give me all the service records for the car as soon as she could find them because it was always serviced by the dealership. It does need to have the brakes rebuilt because they no longer work. But has all of the original hub caps rims and some extra parts because her Dad had also bought a 63 Mercury Comet hardtop at the same time he bought this convertible and the hardtop was wrecked and he stripped some parts off of it and saved them, so there are extra moldings and extra radiator. that will go with the car. This was the first year that Mecury Comet came with a V8 and 4 speed with AC and convertible!!! Very low number of these cars were produced with these options....   Thank you for looking and God bless!!!

The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different

Fri, May 8 2020

The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
