LOWER RESERVE - Bid to own this cool old car.
Here is a neat '65 Mercury Comet Caliente convertible, ONE OF ONLY 6,035 MADE, ready to be used and enjoyed. The car has been garaged most of its life and has been professionally maintained since my father-in-law got it nearly 20 years ago.
>It has a good running 289 two-barrel V8 engine backed up with a C4 automatic transmission.
>The engine has had a recent tune up and a Pertronix electronic ignition installed.
>The car has had its brake system redone from the wheel cylinders on up.
>The car was repainted in its original color a few years ago to driver quality finish.
>A new convertible top was professionally installed four years ago.
>The interior is all original except for the carpeting and is in nice overall condition.
>The dash pad and factory steering wheel are in virtually perfect condition.
>There is an under-dash AM/FM Cassette stereo installed and the factory AM radio is still in the dash, unmolested.
>All of the glass is in good condition and the windows all roll up and down easily.
>The chrome and stainless trim is in decent shape with only one of the "V8" badges missing from the driver's side fender.
>The unique Caliente tail light trim is complete with minor pitting.
>The bumpers are straight with decent chrome, though the back bumper does have one rust spot hiding under a small bumper sticker.
>The extruded aluminum grill is very nice and all the other emblems are in place and in decent driver quality condition.
>An amateur rust repair was made to the driver's side floor pan then the undersides were completely coated with POR-15.
>The doors, hood and trunk open and close easily with no binding or problems though the trunk lid spring is a little weak.
>The heater core went bad a few years ago and has not been replaced since it is never out in bad weather or winter time. It's a fairly cheap part and a pretty easy repair if you want to put it right.
This is a great driver quality car that needs pretty much nothing to enjoy.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The 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.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
