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.)

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion
Wed, Jun 17 2015While 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.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
