I'm offering at auction my 1967 Comet Voyager 4 door wagon. The Comet wagon has been stored outside at a storage facility for the past 2 years. I purchased a new battery and Solenoid for it and started the car on the first try. It idles perfectly.  The Comet wagon is a factory C code 289 auto 8" rear end.I purchased the car off of eBay in 2007. It has been upgraded with a Offenhauser manifold and Holley 600cfm carb. This is a column shift C4 automatic. Getting this car ready for an extended trip is the responsibility of the new owner. The front end components are worn and should be looked at before taking it on any long trips.


 The car has a complete interior. The upholstery is torn on the front bench and back seat. The cargo area needs a replacement interior side cover.

The car's body is overall pretty straight but the paint is poor and not an original Ford color. The front fenders  have been replaced.  The wagon has some rust on the lower section of the tailgate and the front floors. The fiberglass Cyclone hood looks good on this car. I do not have the original steel hood and the hood springs have been removed. All of the glass is perfect in the car as is the dash top. The radio is missing having been replaced with a aftermarket stereo. 

 I purchased a set of tires in 2010 and they have fewer than 500 miles on them. The drum brakes front and rear, radiator, rear axle bearings, hood prop rod, side view mirrors were all replaced with new parts in 2010. The rear window and rear dual action door which folds down like a tailgate and opens out like a regular door were rewired and repaired and now work properly. The wheels and wheel covers are from a Lincoln and go with the car.

If you are a California bidder be advised that there is a total of $464 owed to the DMV before the Comet can be registered in CA. There is no smog necessary.


The Hagerty valuation tool has the Comet Voyager wagon in #4 condition which is Fair at $16,900. A picture of the valuation chart is included. 

I reserve the right to end the auction early because the car is for sale locally.  Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I can help with loading.

A deposit to my PayPal account in the amount of $500 is required within 2 days of the close of the auction. Full payment in cash or certified funds is required within 7 days of the close of the auction. The car will not move until funds have cleared my bank. Please contact me in order to arrange to see the wagon. The car is currently located at my storage facility so I need some advance warning to arrange to see it. 


Another ebayer selling his Fairlane said this " This car is being sold as is where is with no warranty implied.  It is also for sale/trade locally, I reserve the right to end auction early.  CASH only please!  I do not need any help selling this car.  If you feel the car is an easy sell, feel free to buy it from me and sell it for what you think it is worth.  And finally, I know this car has flaws, dents, dings, rips, scratches, leaks peeling paint, rust and rot, that is why the car is being sold for under $2000..."


Thanks for viewing this auction and good luck bidding.

Junkyard Gem: 1979 Mercury Marquis 2-Door Sedan

Sun, Jul 25 2021

As the creator of the now-much-overused term "Malaise Era" (which I say started in 1973 and ended in 1983, full stop), I have a certain affection for the big two-door Detroit cars of the late 1970s. When such a car is built on the very first model year of Ford's long-lived Panther platform and I find one in a junkyard, I must document it. The 1979 Mercury Marquis is such a car, and this one was found in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service yard last month. Since Ford built the Grand Marquis all the way through the demise of the Panther platform— and Mercury itself— in 2011, it's easy for us to forget that the model name started out as just the plain old Marquis, back in the 1967 model year, with the Grand appellation used for the car's top trim level. While today's Junkyard Gem has some of the features of the Grand Marquis and Marquis Brougham trim levels for 1979 (notably the padded vinyl landau roof and power windows), it lacks the huge chrome lower-body moldings of those cars. Instead, it's a regular Marquis 2-door sedan with a big load of expensive options. That landau roof has suffered greatly from its decades beneath the vinyl-disintegrating California sun. The Panther platform was a big technological upgrade from the late-1950s-vintage chassis technology of full-sized Fords of the 1960s and 1970s, and it stayed in front-line service in much the same form through 2011. Though its ride and handling were much improved, the 1979 Marquis was quite a bit smaller than its predecessors, and that caused some grumbling among Mercury shoppers. Some ham-handed junkyard shoppers really tore up the interior of this car while extracting a few bits and pieces, but we can still admire the Pine Green pleather of the glorious Twin Comfort Lounge front seats. You had two engine choices when buying a new '79 Marquis: the base 302-cubic-inch (5.0-liter) Windsor V8 making 129 horsepower or the optional 351-cubic-inch (5.8-liter) Windsor V8 rated at 138 horsepower. This one appears to be the 351, the same engine as had been swapped into the pizza-delivery Mercury I drove in the middle 1980s. New cars sold in California around this time had these giant emissions-numbers stickers on the side glass. Later, they went on the underside of the hood.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.

Junkyard Gem: 1996 Nissan Quest XE with 338,549 miles

Sun, Jul 9 2023

When I hit the junkyard, I always look for vehicles with impressive final figures showing on their odometers. I find so many Hondas and Toyotas with better than 300,000 miles that I don't consider them especially noteworthy (the exception being super-low-spec cheap models, such as a Tercel or Civic VX), and it goes without saying that the bar is quite high for Mercedes-Benzes as well. It has been surprisingly difficult to find discarded Nissans that made it past the 300k mark; today's Junkyard Gem is just the fourth I've documented. The highest-mile junked Nissan I'd found prior to today's minivan is a 1994 Maxima with 364,238 miles, followed by a 1987 Maxima with 341,176 miles and a 1986 200SX with 309,222 miles. Keep in mind that Nissan didn't go to six-digit odometers on most of its US-market cars until the early 1980s, and then went to tough-to-read-in-the-junkyard electronic odometers in the early 2000s; this means the pool of potential high-mile Nissans is limited to about the 1983-2000 range of model years. Ford has just as much right to claim credit to this van's impressive mile total as does Nissan, since the Quest was a collaboration between Ford and Nissan that also produced the Mercury Villager; this van was built by Ford at the Ohio Assembly plant. The Quest/Villager platform was derived from the Maxima's, and the engine is pure Nissan: a 3.0-liter VG30 V6 rated at 151 horsepower. The only transmission available in the first-generation (1993-1999) Quest/Villager was a four-speed automatic. This one appears to have been sold new at Landrum Nissan in Pueblo. The rear glass has been painted flat black, possibly to keep prying eyes from seeing valuable cargo. The rear seats are long gone, so this van probably hauled cargo for much of its long life. The front interior seems to be in good shape. Why is this van here? There's body damage on the left rear and right front, suggesting a crash that may have bent the suspension past the worth-fixing threshold. Perhaps the crinkled metal just made this van too unsightly, or maybe some powertrain problem was the culprit. This content is hosted by a third party.
