1960 Mercury Comet 4 door 6 cylinder wagon with 42,665 miles. [But I am having fun driving it every day with the 3 speed on the column, so the the mileage will be slightly higher once purchased] . 95% original car. This is an extremely reliable car that comfortably shares the freeways and backroads with the traffic of today. No expense was spared in making it a reliable, operable car. It starts immediately, runs smoothly and I would have no worry about taking it on a long days drive anywhere. New parts with receipts include these: battery, 4 shocks front coil springs and seats, front end bushings, wheels cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, fuel pump, hood bumpers and insulation, recored radiator, new fuel and brake lines, new gas tank and sending unit, rebuilt carb.  Firestone tires are like new. Good exhaust. Original wiper fluid bag. Take a look at the original interior—it shows only minimal use. The driver’s seat is not sunken in from years of use. Beautiful steering wheel and horn ring. Everything works except the radio and heater, and the horn sometimes. The old enamel aqua paint job is a real head turner—usually they ask “where is the surf board?”  There are areas on the exterior  of flaking, scratches, bubbling, etc as you would expect.  The stainless side molding is really nice, and most of these pieces have no dings at all. The original cargo mat is there in great shape. Under it  and the carpet you can see surface browning, but no weak spots or holes or rot.  The front floor area where your foot goes was replaced previously with heavy welded steel,  and two small rust spots on the back floor were repaired, but it is otherwise very solid and roadworthy in all respects. I have the original owner’s manual and the Ford/Mercury Dealer Shop Manual that will be included. Original keys. All windows roll up and down smoothly, including the rear window. The headliner is great, but there is a large hole in it in the back corner about the size of a softball. It could be covered over or, better yet, simply have a new headliner put it. They are readily available for under $150 on eBay and elsewhere. Car can be seen anytime at Charleston, West Virginia.  Feel free to call Bill with any questions. Leave message if no answer. 304-389-3900. Thanks for looking.

This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway

Tue, Oct 27 2015

The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below. Related Video:

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump

Tue, May 2 2017

A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.
