You are
looking at one of the cleanest and nicest cars you will see from the 1990’s
decade. My grandmother purchased this car new in 1992 and was hers until her
recent death. During the time she was here she almost never drove this car, and
it spent most of its time in a garage and under cover. Near the end of her life
she never drove the car, in fact it stayed in the garage untouched for many
years until she passed away and left it to me. I had to transfer the title from
her name to mine during the execution of her will, but since I have put less
than around 50 miles on the car, I still consider it to be a one owner car. This car has
never been wrecked or damaged in any way, never been smoked in, and never been
repainted. The interior is like a new car, with no stains or markings of any
sort. There is no signs of wear anywhere on the seats or carpeting, and as I
said, if it were sent to a detail shop for a professional buffing a detail, you
would think this is a new car. This car is so nice, I had originally wanted to
keep the car for myself and drive it, but due to my lifestyle I have found that
it is just sitting here wasting away in my garage, just like it did at my
grandmother’s house. This is the only reason I am looking at selling this car. Once I took
possession of the car I found there were several issues I needed to address which
are normal for cars which have been sitting for a long period of time. I have
replaced the brakes and rebuilt the calipers on all 4 wheels, replaced the
muffler and master cylinder. I have also changed the oil and the transmission
fluid. I also found the original tires from 1992 were still on the car and
needed to be replaced just due to age. At that point I decide I wanted to have
larger and wider tires on the car, so I ordered a set of later model 16”
aluminum wheels and purchased new tires for those wheels. I have kept the
original 15” steel wheels and covers just in case someone wanted them which are
in the trunk. When I got the 16” wheels 2 of the center caps were missing and I
have not replaced them yet. They are easy to find and can be had new online for
about $20.00 each. This car
runs great and I would feel safe driving it anywhere. The air conditioning
blows cold air and is working very well. That being said, I feel I need to
discuss the transmission and its condition. Though I have not driven the car
very much, I have felt the transmission slip a little on the highway while in
overdrive. I have not noticed any slipping while in drive just driving around
town and not on the highway at high speeds. I have taken the car to a reputable
mechanic who made a complete inspection. Because he removed the pan he again
replaced the transmission fluid with new and test drove the car. Once he was
done he said that he didn’t believe anything could really be wrong with the
transmission other than it just needed to be driven. He said once the car had someone driving it
every day it would more than likely stop slipping at all, and with just 22,000
miles on it there should be nothing internal causing it other than something
sticking due to not being driven. By bidding
on this car you agree to pick it up and pay in full with cash money within 2
weeks of the end of the sale. If you have any questions please feel free to ask
and I will answer as quickly as possible. |

Junkyard Gem: 1971 Mercury Comet 2-Door Sedan
Sat, Sep 10 2022When Ford introduced the original Maverick for the 1970 model year, Dearborn tradition required that a Mercury-badged version be created. That car ended up being the Comet, built from the 1971 through 1977 model years. Here's one of those first-year Comets in rough but recognizable condition, found in a Denver self-service yard not long ago. The Comet name had spent the 1960s affixed to the flanks of Mercurized Ford Falcons (1960-1965) and Fairlanes (1966-1969). Since the Maverick was the successor of the Falcon — sales of which went into an irrecoverable downward spiral once its sportier Mustang first cousin hit the streets — it made sense to move the Comet name over to the Mercury version. Nearly every American Mercury model ever sold was a U.S.-market Ford model with a different name and some gingerbread slapped on. Notable exceptions to this tradition include the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar (mechanically based on the Contour but with a unique body) and the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri (an Australian-built mashup of Mazda components borrowed from the Ford Laser). The Comet was by far the cheapest Mercury model available in 1971, though it was considered more prestigious than its Maverick counterpart. The price tag on the '71 Comet two-door sedan started at $2,217 (about $16,505 in 2022 dollars), while the '71 Maverick two-door sedan cost $2,175 ($16,193 today). Meanwhile, AMC would sell you a new Hornet two-door sedan for one dollar less than a Maverick, Chevrolet had the Nova coupe for a dollar more than the Maverick, and Plymouth offered the Valiant Duster for $2,313 ($17,220 now). Toyota had a Maverick competitor as well that year, with the Corona at $2,150 for the sedan and $2,310 for the coupe. Having driven every one of the aforementioned models, I'd take the Duster if I went back in time and had to choose one (as a 1969 Corona owner, I'm not a fan of the 1971 facelift, though the Corona's build quality beats the Duster's). The build sticker on this car tells us that it was built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant (where Transits and F-150s are made today) and sold through the Los Angeles district sales office (there was a DSO in Denver, so it's a near-certainty that this car didn't start out in Colorado). The paint started out as Bright Blue Metallic (it's neither bright nor metallic 51 years down the road) and the interior was done up in Medium Blue Cloth & Vinyl.
Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The 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:
