I am selling this for my dad. It is a 1963 Mercury Comet S22 It is one of 6,303 made in 63 of this trim model. It has the 260 V8 engine with automatic transmission. It runs and drives wonderfully. It starts everytime, and runs like a champ. My dad is clearing out some of his collection and this is one of the first he has decided to get rid of. This is one of the finest examples of an S22 that you will find out there. Most of these cars have became victims of becoming gassers or cut up. There are only a few VERY minor imperfections on the car and those being a few little dents that are no bigger than about the size of 1/16th of an inch. These are documented in the pics I have posted. The reserve is set VERY low for this car and I guarantee that you will NOT be disappointed with the quality and cleanliness of this car. The floors, trunk, and undercarriage are like new and the interior is VERY clean as well. Feel free to send an email to me if you have any further questions and I will get ahold of my dad and get them answered as quick as possible. The paint is 9-9.5 out of 10, the interior is a 9-9.5 out of 10 and overall I would say this car is EASILY a 9 out of 10.
PLEASE NOTE MY FATHER HAS A TRUCKING COMPANY AS WELL AND IF THE BUY IT NOW IS REACHED HE WILL DELIVER THIS CAR FOR FREE UP TO 600 MILES AWAY! ALSO HE CAN SHIP TO MOST ANYWHERE (EXCEPT CALIFORNIA I BELIEVE) AND PRICE CAN BE NEGOTIATED UPON SALE.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When 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.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion
Wed, Jun 17 2015While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
