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: 1973 Mercury Montego MX Brougham Sawzall Convertible Edition
Fri, Apr 21 2017You know how it goes— the weather is warm, you want to do some top-down driving, and you lack a proper convertible... but you do have a hooptie Detroit car on one side of the garage and a big ol' Sawzall on the other. Put the two together and you have a Sawzall Convertible, which generally lasts for about one summer before it gets scrapped. Here's a fine example of such a car, photographed in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service junkyard. Most Sawzall Convertibles (yes, it should be called a roadster, but nobody does that) have raw, ragged metal edges, or maybe duct tape over the stumps of the amputated pillars, but someone went to the trouble to weld nice smooth metal covers over the hackage on this one. The windshield is gone. Instead, the windshield frame is ringed by tongue depressors held in place by gooey roofing tar. No, we don't know why. The Montego MX Brougham was a hot-selling personal luxury coupe in its day, selling for $3,041 in 1973. That's just under $17,000 in 2017 dollars. It must have been fun, cruising this thing on Bay Area streets with no roof and a rattle-can spray-bomb job. This one has the optional 400-cubic-inch V8 engine, rated at 171 horsepower. What would this car's original buyer have thought of its fate? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Ford recalls over 953,000 vehicles to replace Takata airbag inflators
Fri, Jan 4 2019DETROIT — Ford is recalling more than 953,000 vehicles worldwide to replace Takata passenger airbag inflators that can explode and hurl shrapnel. The move includes over 782,000 vehicles in the U.S. and is part of the largest series of recalls in U.S. history. Included are the 2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, the 2010 and 2011 Ford Ranger, the 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan, and the 2010 to 2014 Ford Mustang. Some of the recalls may be limited to specific geographic areas of the U.S. Takata used the chemical ammonium nitrate to create an explosion to inflate airbags. But it can deteriorate over time due to heat and humidity and explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister designed to contain the explosion. At least 23 people have been killed worldwide and hundreds injured by the inflators. Ford says it doesn't know of any injuries in vehicles included in this recall. Dealers will replace the inflators. Ford will notify owners about the recall starting on Feb. 18, and the company has replacement parts available for dealers to order, said spokeswoman Monique Brentley. In previous Takata recalls, parts availability had been an issue. Owners can go to this Ford website and key in their vehicle identification number to see if their cars and SUVs are being recalled. The same information will be available soon at the NHTSA recall website. More than three years after the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration took over management of recalls involving Takata inflators, one third of the recalled inflators still have not been replaced, according to an annual report from the government and a court-appointed monitor. The report says 16.7 million faulty inflators out of 50 million under recall have yet to be replaced. And 10 million more inflators are scheduled to be recalled this month, including the Ford vehicles. Safety advocates said the completion rate should be far higher given the danger associated with the inflators. The recalls forced Takata of Japan to seek bankruptcy protection and sell most of its assets to pay for the fixes. The inflators grow more dangerous as they get older because ammonium nitrate deteriorates due to high humidity and cycles from hot temperatures to cold. The most dangerous inflators are in areas of the South along the Gulf of Mexico that have high humidity. Related Video:
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge.
