Testing the waters with my 1964 Mercury Comet (Ford Falcon). It is a true California classic with original California "black" tags! Runs incredibly strong with absolutely zero rust. Would make a great daily driver, or take advantage of its West coast flair and customized it to taste. Turn key ready!


Mechanically, this car is very strong. Odometer reads 56,000 miles, and the odometer works, but no way to tell if this is 56,000 miles or 156,000 miles. However, the car is in impeccable mechanical condition, and drives like a 56,000 mile car. It's got the high-option 3.3 I6 engine mated to a three speed automatic transmission. The car starts right up and moves down the road true and straight. The car shifts, handles, and stops like new. One of the most fun cars I've ever driven! All the lights and gauges work on the car. The heater acts up every now, but blows plenty hot when working.

Cosmetically, the car is in good shape, but not perfect. The car spent its entire life up until 2 years ago in the San Francisco Bay Area, so there is absolutely no rust at all. The body is incredibly straight and solid with no dings or dents. Glass is perfect. HOWEVER, the paint IS a bit faded (sunburnt) in areas and it does have its fair share of chips and scrapes. A solid 15-20 footer. I suggest seeing this in person, as it is difficult for the paint imperfections to show up in photos. On the inside, the seat, carpet, and headliner were redone a while back. Nothing special, but very functional. One small crack in the dash, but otherwise very solid and original. 

The car has 4 brand new matching tires put on last week (less than 5 miles on them!), along with a brand new battery, fresh oil change, and new air filter.

Overall, it's an awesome car with a great history. Sold as-is. Clean California title in hand.

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue

Fri, Dec 20 2019

Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion

Wed, Jun 17 2015

While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
