I am selling my 1964 Mercury Comet that I have owned for the past 10 years. It has 77,500 original miles. When I bought the car in June of 2004 it had 57300 miles, as reflected on the title. I have spent countless hours, effort and money to restore. It is in excellent condition. Ready to enjoy, drive, take to shows and be proud of.

This Comet had started its life as a maroon vehicle. But since blue is my favorite color and I grew up in a blue 1964 Comet, the only choice for this one was blue. It was painted in a high quality, base coat clear coat. All panels of this car are incredibly straight (ie... fenders and quarter panels and behind all wheels). There was rust in the floor on the front passenger side that was cut out and metal put back in. All door jams were also painted. Windshield wipers do not work. The passenger side windshield does have a 6 inch crack that happened about 8 years ago that has not progressed. It has new carpeting and the front seat cushions were recovered. The headliner could use replacing as it has 2 wholes in it.

All 4 breaks have been completly rebuilt including shoes, springs, adjusters and wheel cylinders. There are no breaking issues.

There is no smoke from the 6 cylinder engine. These 6 cylinder engines are known to have issues with exhaust manifold leakage. As part of the countless hours I have mentioned, I searched and found a new exhaust manifold and the original was replaced. There is absolutely no manifold leakage with this car. Very quiet. The air filter housing, fuel filter cylinder and valve cover have all been painted in the same blue base coat clear coat as the rest of the automobile.

Radiator, ignition coil, distrtibutor cap, wires, rotor, points and condensor are all new. All lights operate including all dash board lights. All factory guages work properly except the temperature gauge.

The gas tank was removed, cleaned and new sending unit was installed. It has a stereo/cd player installed under the dash with a high quality speaker system mounted in the package tray behind the rear seat. It also has 4 new radial tires.

This car is ready for you to enjoy and well worth the low reserve price. Thank you for your interest in my Comet.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion

Wed, Jun 17 2015

While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
