1977 Mercury Comet Gt Clone 2 Dr 302 V8 P/s Pdb A/t Buckets Magnums A/c Maverick on 2040-cars
Grand Bay, Alabama, United States

This is a very nice 77 Mercury Comet, cousin to the Ford Maverick. It was owned by an older gentleman who passed away several years ago. The car has been stored in a climate controlled warehouse for about 15 years now according to the gentleman I purchased it from. It was his grandfathers car. They had been hanging on to it for sentimental reasons but finally decided to part with it to keep it from just sitting there since nobody really wanted to make a daily driver out of it. They would take it out every now and then for a drive and then put it back in storage. I'm basically telling you this so you'll know what has been done recently that you won't have to worry about. The engine in this car sounds amazing...no noises whatsoever. The car was obviously repainted before the grandfather passed away and it's a decent job. They had tried to make it look like a Comet GT by putting on a GT hood scoop and a set of GT style side stripes. It actually looks pretty cool and has gotten lots of positive comments. The paint still shines very nicely. This car is extremely solid but it does have a few spots of rust popping out...not many though considering how old this paint job is. The right door has the most spots, the right qtr panel has a small cluster, and the left door has a few very small bubbles. Under the hood I found one small hole. I posted pics of all these spots so you can see for yourself. The floor in the trunk is great with no rust. I didn't find any rust in the floorpans either...all very solid. Mavericks and Comets are notorious for leaking in the cowls. This car DOES NOT leak there. The little spots of rust are all low and could be easily repaired without repainting the entire car. If I don't sell on this ad I will put it in the shop and get that taken care of but the price goes up then. The a/c was not getting cool so I hooked gauges up to charge it up with freon. It was starting to cool but the compressor started getting noisy so I turned it off and removed the belt. I think the compressor is going bad and I didn't want to take a chance on it locking up on me going down the road. It has red deluxe bucket set interior which is in amazing condition. It appears to be all original and has no splits, rips, or tears. Even the dash pad is good and that's usually one of the first things to go but like I said, this car has been stored inside. The carpet and headliner is all good too. Anyone wanting more info or more pics please email me at rayparrish57@gmail.com |

This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway
Tue, Oct 27 2015The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below. Related Video:
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.

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.
