1964 Mercury Comet 2 Door Sedan, Runs Great!, New Interior, Headturner on 2040-cars
Palm City, Florida, United States
1964 MERCURY COMET 2 DOOR SEDAN. Its an automatic straight 6. All chrome in good condition. There is no rust or bondo. When i purchased the vehicle definitely needed some TLC. It drove but right away needed the steering box replaced. I had to have it towed the 2 hours from Orlando to my home. Except for the last 2 years, this car has always resided in, been titled in Orlando, Florida, and from what I have been told, garaged. The floorboard was rusted out in the driver side. The floor board has been completely replaced (brand new welded in). The interior is all new : custom ordered vinyl seat covers with new cushion, new carpet, new door panels (front and back), new arm rests for the front, the back arm rests are the original ones with the ash trays built in. Even the steering wheel was repair. It had cracks....had to be sanded, filled, sanded again, and repainted. All the plastic pieces in the interior of the car were repaired and painted chrome. I think the interior (door panels, dash and such) used to be grayish blue maybe. Oh, there were not two side mirrors on the door. I installed the passenger side one. Also all the metal work/black was sanded down and repainted. The front lap belts are original but the back seat belts were installed and welded into the trunk for safety...(did this specifically for my children's safety). All windows go up and down, all glass in perfect condition. blinkers, windshield wipers all work. Weatherstripping has been replaced around all the windows, except the vent windows (triangles window in front doors). Under the hood is mainly originally. When I purchased, the steering box had to be replaced. All hoses and gaskets were also replaced when purchased. Brake pads, light bulbs, spark plugs, all liquids, and filters replaced as well. A coca-cola bottle installed as the radiator overflow. Custom paint job on air filter and under the hood. Fine details done (dog dishes, back area near trunk bumper/gas tank, and parts of front grill) all repainted. Look at the tiny black squares on the chrome and you will see what i mean. Truck weather seal also replaced. Brand new white wall tires also purchased.
So whats wrong: headliner needs to be installed. I do have 2 headliners that are antique white. 1 for the headliner and one for extra for visors. I never did it because to really do it right you need to remove the front and back windshield, and I don't have the confidence to do it myself....i'm such a klutz i would probably break the glass in the process. there are a couple of tiny pin holes in the wheel wells of the trunk (very tiny). The car needs a paint job. the window seal/weather stripping in the triangle windows will need to be replaced. Oh, and the radio does not work...its just for show. to be honest i never did connect it, so it may work. Visors are in the truck, but will need to be recovered and screwed into roof.
Overall its a great car. Its simple under the hood, but built the way an old car is suppose to. You look under the hood and have the engine, radiator, and transmission...beauty in the simplicity of it. It drives well, and even though its not finished, it always impresses at car shows. I can always explain more on the phone if interested. I also have more pics if needed.
I thought I would keep this car forever!!! Literally. It's rare to have a woman (let alone a woman in her thirties) own a classic car. I figured my daughter, who is now 12, would get it as her first car once she turns 16. It drives so smooth, especially over speed bumps. Well, now my good mechanic friend who is responsible for helping me rebuild the car is no longer in my life. My boyfriend and I (and our combined) four kids are getting ready to move in together. We could keep if, if I begged long enough, but the reality is we really could use the money for other things. I used to go to car shows all the time, every other weekend, but for the last year I've been with my boyfriend, I just don't go anymore. I hate to sell this car, but want it to go to a good home. I’m just trying to get (financially) what I put into it. Car is being sold as it. Clean title in hand. No warranty or guarantee with vehicle. This is a 50 year old classic car….expect to have issues down the road…but the good news is, the are simple to fix (no new technology that costs a bundle). All sales are final. Buyer is responsible for (coordinating) pick up and delivery of vehicle. I will except a cashier’s check, cash, or wire transfer. Those interested are more than welcomed to come see and drive in person before purchasing. Car is also being sold locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you have any questions or would like to set up a showing please call or text 772-209-1268. (or you can email me through ebay). I also have videos of me driving, working on the car, videos of under the hood, bodyline, and more. Please contact me and I will email them to you . .. I'm still trying to figure out how to upload them onto youtube. : ) |

Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump
Tue, May 2 2017A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.

Junkyard Gem: 1970 Mercury Cougar
Tue, Oct 10 2017The plot of the Mercury Cougar story took a lot of strange twists and turns during its 35 or so years, from ponycar to immense luxobarge to family sedan to station wagon to Integra competitor. Examples of the first Cougar generation are nearly extinct in American wrecking yards, so I was excited to spot this one in Denver. Lest you shed any tears over this car going to the crusher, know that it was suffering from the ravenous teeth of the Rust Monster long before it got here. The 1967-1970 Cougar was based on the Mustang platform of the same era, and so it was a sleeker and quicker cat than its successors. Still, the longer wheelbase, extra equipment and all the cool-looking bodywork added some heft; the 1970 Mustang hardtop with V8 scaled in at 2,923 pounds, while the 1970 Cougar weighed 3,307 pounds. The current Ford Focus would fit just between those two weights. There was also a mid-cycle refresh in that era, with the '67-'68 and '69-'70 having different exterior styling and interiors. The '69 and '70 had different front end styling as well, with the latter re-adopting the vertical grille slats featured on the earlier model years. The '69 has horizontal slats. The drivetrain and just about everything else of value has been shorn from this car, perhaps before it arrived in this yard. In 1970, a bewildering assortment of V8 engines was available in the Cougar, including a Boss 302, two completely different 351s, and a 335-horse Cobra Jet 428. The base engine was a 351 Windsor making 250 gross horsepower. Since car rooftops mostly don't rust, why would someone cut out this one? Sheet metal needed for patching a leaky shed roof, perhaps? This 2005-2006 Denver Nuggets window sticker indicates that the car was on the street (probably) as recently as 11 years ago. This content is hosted by a third party.

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. It's like a Marquis Brougham after you squish it in the car crusher!
