1963 1/2 Mercury Comet Sportster on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
|
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.

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 recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
