I am selling my beautiful 1963 Mercury Comet Convertible (S-22 trim package). 86,969 original miles on this down south car.
 No rust and good solid and straight car. No dents and it has all of its chrome! The paint is a B and the interior has been restored and is a B+. The engine is the original 260 V8 and it has a two speed merc-o-matic automatic transmission. The engine runs great once warmed up for 30 seconds and has never let me down. 

The car was restored about 10 years ago and I have a small packet with receipts and pictures from the restoration. The top is red and was also replaced and it is like new. It also has a retro sound head unit with bluetooth and new speaker system.

I replaced the plugs, wires, distributor, points and coil. I also replaced the water pump, radiator, thermostat.   Rebuilt the power steering box, had the strut arm bushings replaced and most of the steering components were warn so those were replaced as well. I had it lowered 2" and had the alignment professionally done and it drives true and smooth. I had the brakes checked last month and they are in great shape. Last year I had new Coker tires and steel rims installed for a updated look. I also have the original tires, rims and hubcaps as well.  Tires have 2,000 miles on them.

I bought the car from a nice old farmer in Bowling Green Kentucky. I am sad to sell the car but I just got married and we need to save up money for a new house. I would put this up against any Comet in this RARE year. Overall a great car and tons of fun. It will also get you into back to the 50's car shows!

Things that need attention:
The rear tail lights have some pitting on the chrome.  They are available online for replacement or have them re-chromed.
Small scuff on the right side top of bumper. 1/2" x 2" (see picture)
Door locks don't work.  I don't ever lock this car because its more expensive to replace glass or top.
Speedometer cable is kinked and speedometer bounces around.   New cables are an easy fix.

PayPal Deposit of $500 is due 24hrs after auction.  Cashiers check must be sent within 7 days of auction ending.  I don't have a shipping company but I'm ok if you hire one to pick it up.  I would recommend a closed trailer so no scratches happen on transport.


Please email with any questions if your a serious buyer.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford 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. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?

Wed, May 25 2016

Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
