This is a very nice 77 Mercury Comet, cousin to the Ford Maverick. It was owned by an older gentleman who passed away several years ago. The car has been stored in a climate controlled warehouse for about 15 years now according to the gentleman I purchased it from. It was his grandfathers car. They had been hanging on to it for sentimental reasons but finally decided to part with it to keep it from just sitting there since nobody really wanted to make a daily driver out of it. They would take it out every now and then for a drive and then put it back in storage.
I purchased the car and right away I realized it needed a few things done to it from sitting up. The tread depth was like new on the tires but they had gone bad from sitting up. I changed the oil and replaced the tires and it drove rather well then. A couple days later the water pump started leaking so it gets a new pump. The brakes had been replaced prior to purchasing it according to the previous owner. I was also told the transmission had been rebuilt and I believe it because it shifts out perfectly. I had problems with it dying out going down the road a few times so I rebuilt the carburator. It still did it so I replaced the fuel pump. That didn't resolve the problem either and it was definitely a fuel problem so I replaced the fuel sending unit with new one and it's been running good ever since. The ignition control module is new too but I think they put that on before I bought it trying to fix this problem. I put new plugs in it as well.

I'm basically telling you this so you'll know what has been done recently that you won't have to worry about. The engine in this car sounds amazing...no noises whatsoever.

The car was obviously repainted before the grandfather passed away and it's a decent job. They had tried to make it look like a Comet GT by putting on a GT hood scoop and a set of GT style side stripes. It actually looks pretty cool and has gotten lots of positive comments. The paint still shines very nicely. This car is extremely solid but it does have a few spots of rust popping out...not many though considering how old this paint job is. The right door has the most spots, the right qtr panel has a small cluster, and the left door has a few very small bubbles. Under the hood I found one small hole. I posted pics of all these spots so you can see for yourself. The floor in the trunk is great with no rust. I didn't find any rust in the floorpans either...all very solid. Mavericks and Comets are notorious for leaking in the cowls. This car DOES NOT leak there. The little spots of rust are all low and could be easily repaired without repainting the entire car. If I don't sell on this ad I will put it in the shop and get that taken care of but the price goes up then.

The a/c was not getting cool so I hooked gauges up to charge it up with freon. It was starting to cool but the compressor started getting noisy so I turned it off and removed the belt. I think the compressor is going bad and I didn't want to take a chance on it locking up on me going down the road.

It has red deluxe bucket set interior which is in amazing condition. It appears to be all original and has no splits, rips, or tears. Even the dash pad is good and that's usually one of the first things to go but like I said, this car has been stored inside. The carpet and headliner is all good too.

Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar

Thu, Feb 25 2021

We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste. When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled. Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes. "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass. Related Video:

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion

Wed, Jun 17 2015

While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
