My loss is your gain. I have too many vehicles and one of them has to go. I LOVE my little Comet but I need to make room in my garage for a new arrival. I've owned this car for about 5-6 years and had a blast with it. It turns heads wherever I go. It really is a little beauty. This car is in 95% condition, 5% from being a show car. It runs great and everything is in good working order, except the radio (original AM). The body is straight and it's never been in an accident. The odometer works and reads 42,000 but I have no idea if that's 142,000 or ? The original straight six motor has been replaced with a small block V-8 (302), so there is lots of power. The glass pack dual exhausts give it a nice throaty sound as well. It cruises nicely on the freeway and I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere. This car is ready to roll, anytime and anywhere! Good drive train, good suspension, good tires and brakes and all gauges and lights are functional. Power steering and brakes!
The pictures you see are straight out of the garage after four months sitting. I didn't even wash it. It has been repainted the original factory color (whatever you call that color). It really is beautiful in person. It has a rebuilt 302 V-8, B & M shifter and the upholstery has been redone as close to the original as possible. ALL trim is there (interior and exterior) and in good condition. The front bumper could stand to be re-chromed ( a couple of small blems is all). I'm not desperate for money so please don't make me a low ball offer. If I can't get my price I will just keep it another year and try again. I value this car at $12-15,000 so it's priced to sell. I have more than the high number invested in it, but I've also had several years of enjoyment. Now it's your turn. This is an original California car. After four months in the garage there is a drop or two of oil, that's all. Come and get it! I live in Lawndale, right off the 405. Very weird. I cannot find a way to remove where it says there are 6 cylinders. Trust me there are EIGHT! Also the body type is a COUPE. Again no way to change this, but that's eBay. The driver's side door lock is sticking, not working too well. |

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack
Sat, May 30 2015With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
