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.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A 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.
More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags
Thu, Jan 12 2017The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.
