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:

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.

The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different

Fri, May 8 2020

The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio Â— to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.
