Up for bid is an ULTRA VERY RARE 63 1/2 numbers matching Comet Sportster!! For the Comet, the last 1/2 year had options not available in the earlier year. There was the sleek hardtop option and there was the S-22 option that gave the comet 6 taillights along with bucket seats and console. The 3rd option was the cyclone 260 v8 engine. When all of these 3 rare options were on the same car that car was referred to as the Comet Sportster or in some or in some references the first mercury cyclone. This car has been totally stripped to metal and redone. Motor and transmission have approx 300 miles on their rebuild. Car also has power steering and yes it works well..all rebuilt. I have redone everything from suspension to heater box to seat foam to electrical to window mechanicals to body and paint and chrome. I have spent a great deal of time and money on this rare car! The car runs and drives as new..does have some needs to finish.. will need window/trunk weatherstripping. I have new heater ducting for car that needs to be installed and there is a NOS foot pedal pump for the windshield washer. There is a negitive on the paint.. on the roof there is some lifting as you can see in the photo. I have 1/2 - 3/4 gallon of paint left that will go with the car so it can be fixed. Reason I as selling is simple..I promised to give car to my daughter if she graduates and does not do drugs.. I have a slew of photos of when i bought this car and to show its authenticity and for documentation This car was a southern California car it whole life so there was very minimmial rust. I will work with the winning bidder on transportation. Buyer is responsible for setting up, pickup and paying for all costs.

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.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
