1964 Mercury Comet Cyclone on 2040-cars
Year:1964
Mileage:100000

This is a very rare 1964 Mercury Comet Cyclone two door hardtop. Pacific Blue with white interior which were both original colors of the car. It has the 289 K code engine with a C4 automatic transmission. Restoration was done approximately 15 years ago. The interior was reupholstered with the original color and the vinyl matches the original pattern. This included the seats, doors, and headliner. The door and trunk gaskets were also replaced. All of the glass is good and windows roll up and down. Added to the engine is an Eldelbrock intake, and a Ford dual point distributor. The original radiator had been replaced with a 3/core. I also have the original parts that were taken off of the engine that will go with the car, including distributor, intake, valve covers, etc…(I do not have the original radiator). Everything pictured will go with the car, including the original steel rims and stainless hubcaps, the set of rally wheels and tires, and the mag wheels that are currently on the car. The car is a very nice driver, is very clean and has been well maintained. Carpet is clean and chrome bumpers are very nice. All of the gauges work except the temp gauge which has been replaced with an aftermarket one. Heater, AM radio and factory mounted dash tach all work. The car is NOT perfect, it does have some scratches and nicks. There are a few small bubbles around the wheel wells and some cracked paint where the rear bumper attaches to the car. Underneath and frame of car are pretty clean. There are a few areas that have showed some wear, but nothing at all major. I actually wouldn’t even touch it. Again, this car is a driver. The car could use a tune up and probably a set of points. It will also need an emergency brake cable. The one that is on it has frozen up. It does not have the windshield washer fluid bag or the pump. It could also use a neutral safety switch. You must make sure the car is in park or neutral every time that you start it. I never had an issue with these things not being replaced, so that is up to you. For a 15 year old restoration, the car is extremely nice and very fun. I can send more pics upon request. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I’m sure there are things that I am forgetting. I encourage anyone to come look at the car if you are in the area. The car is sold AS IS with no warranty. I do reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Buyer pays for and arranges shipping. A $500.00 down payment will be due within 24 hours of auction close with full payment being made 5 days after auction close. Good Luck. |

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans
Tue, Nov 24 2015Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
