I am selling my 1967 Mercury Comet. The Caliente is a so-called intermediate-size Mercury and comes as a 4-door sedan. The engine is a 289 cu.in. V8 with 200hp.

Condition:

The car has around 100.000 + 1800 miles (might change slightly until the end of the auction) on the odometer and is in decent condition. The color is robins's eggblue. The paint job is in good condition considering the age, but there are a couple of scratches and a few rust spots on the exterior (compare images). The car leaks tiny amounts of fluids every now and then, but nothing that ever needed to be fixed.
I put on white-wall tires which are still under warranty for at least 3000+ miles. The car was already lowered when I bought it. The exhaust pipes have been adapted to this lowering kit and new rear shocks have been installed recently. The battery and the choke assembly have been replaced in July. After the winter the carburetor made problems, so I purchased a re-manufactured carburetor and replaced it also in July. The car starts and runs smoothly. As with most old cars with a carburetor, fine adjustments need to be done to adapt it to the time of the year.
The interior is in nice condition and the black leather seats are barely scratched or ripped. There is a car stereo (hidden CD/radio with boxes in the front and back) - nothing fancy, but it works fine, even with the rumbling sound of the car in the background. The original radio is also operational, but was never used by me. The drivers' door window has trouble going up all the way without a small push and the window trim has seen better times.

The car looks overall looks and drives nice for its age and is always a conversation starter wherever you go.

History:

I am aware of one pre-owner from whom I bought the car, but I do not have any additional information concerning the cars' history.

Extras:

I have an original registered owners' manual as well as a 1967 Mercury shop manual explaining every part of the car and its maintenance in great detail. There is also additional equipment, such as studded winter tires (back) and brand-new car jacks with extra stands.

Payment/Warranty:

You are welcome and encouraged to inspect and drive this vehicle before bidding. Please ask all of your questions before bidding.

For any questions or additional information, please contact me and I will try to answer you as fast as possible.

Payment by cashier check/cash, after an immediate PayPal deposit only. Payment in full due within 7 days of auction ending. The car will not be shipped or released until all funds (including cash) have cleared my PayPal/bank account.

Please note: Vehicle is sold as-is. No warranty written or implied. No refunds.

No International sales. Local buyers are preferred.

Shipping:

The buyer will be responsible for arranging the pick-up ad/or shipping of the vehicle.

The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats

Wed, Sep 28 2016

While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The 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.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

Bugatti 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.
