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 purchased the car and right away I realized it needed a few things done to it from sitting up. The tread depth was like new on the tires but they had gone bad from sitting up. I changed the oil and replaced the tires and it drove rather well then. A couple days later the water pump started leaking so it gets a new pump. The brakes had been replaced prior to purchasing it according to the previous owner. I was also told the transmission had been rebuilt and I believe it because it shifts out perfectly. I had problems with it dying out going down the road a few times so I rebuilt the carburator. It still did it so I replaced the fuel pump. That didn't resolve the problem either and it was definitely a fuel problem so I replaced the fuel sending unit with new one and it's been running good ever since. The ignition control module is new too but I think they put that on before I bought it trying to fix this problem. I put new plugs in it as well.

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.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford 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.
