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 |

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
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:
The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats
Wed, Sep 28 2016While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.
