A TRUE BARN FIND!!! Up for bid is a 1963 Mercury Comet Custom Convertible All original Factory V8 260 CU. 4 Speed, AC !!! The original owner got this car when she was in High School as a gift from her Dad and kept it until I purchased it from her about 2 months ago. Well I have decided to sell it; as much as I would like to keep it and just drive it like it is. The only rust on the car is on the drive side rocker panel. Which is a quick fix and I have another rocker for it, But really doesn't need it. Because I do body work and could fix it in a few hours, but I don't have the time. I pulled all the spark plugs out and shot some WD40 and Tranny fluid in each cylinder put the plugs back in and let it sit for about two weeks, I then took the plugs out again and turned the motor over by hand and it was free!!! I put the plugs back in it and put a battery in it and it turned right over. The Original owner parked the car because she bought a new one and would only drive the car about once a month and it ran when it was last parked for good in the early 90's. I have the original PINK slip and original owners manual, original keys along with the original registration slips that she gave me and she was going to give me all the service records for the car as soon as she could find them because it was always serviced by the dealership. It does need to have the brakes rebuilt because they no longer work. But has all of the original hub caps rims and some extra parts because her Dad had also bought a 63 Mercury Comet hardtop at the same time he bought this convertible and the hardtop was wrecked and he stripped some parts off of it and saved them, so there are extra moldings and extra radiator. that will go with the car. This was the first year that Mecury Comet came with a V8 and 4 speed with AC and convertible!!! Very low number of these cars were produced with these options.... Thank you for looking and God bless!!!

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
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 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. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
