RELISTED DUE TO NON PAYING BUYER

Testing the waters with my 1964 Mercury Comet (Ford Falcon). It is a true California classic with original California "black" tags! Runs incredibly strong with absolutely zero rust. Would make a great daily driver, or take advantage of its West coast flair and customized it to taste. Turn key ready!

Mechanically, this car is very strong. Odometer reads 56,000 miles, and the odometer works, but no way to tell if this is 56,000 miles or 156,000 miles. However, the car is in impeccable mechanical condition, and drives like a 56,000 mile car. It's got the high-option 3.3 I6 engine mated to a three speed automatic transmission. The car starts right up and moves down the road true and straight. The car shifts, handles, and stops like new. One of the most fun cars I've ever driven! All the lights and gauges work on the car. The heater acts up every now, but blows plenty hot when working.

Cosmetically, the car is in good shape, but not perfect. The car spent its entire life up until 2 years ago in the San Francisco Bay Area, so there is absolutely no rust at all. The body is incredibly straight and solid with no dings or dents. Glass is perfect. HOWEVER, the paint IS a bit faded (sunburnt) in areas and it does have its fair share of chips and scrapes. A solid 15-20 footer. I suggest seeing this in person, as it is difficult for the paint imperfections to show up in photos. On the inside, the seat, carpet, and headliner were redone a while back. Nothing special, but very functional. One small crack in the dash, but otherwise very solid and original.

The car has 4 brand new matching tires put on last week (less than 5 miles on them!), along with a brand new battery, fresh oil change, and new air filter.

Overall, it's an awesome car with a great history. Sold as-is. Clean California title in hand. If interested, please call/text (text preferred) 703-599-2852.

Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump

Tue, May 2 2017

A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.
