1960 Mercury Comet Station Wagon 42,665 Miles Great Aqua Color & Stock Interior on 2040-cars
Charleston, West Virginia, United States
|
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. |

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri
Mon, Sep 19 2016Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats
Wed, Sep 28 2016While 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.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
