1964 Mercury Comet Caliente 4 Door V8 302 5 Speed Factory V8 Car Roller Gt40 on 2040-cars
Macungie, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is a 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente 4 door. Was originally a V8 w/
auto. Now has a 302 roller motor, GT40 heads, with T5 5 speed manual
trans. Motor is in and bolted up, along with the trans. Carb is
installed, but needs the linkage attached. Power assist hoses needed. New aluminum 2 row radiator. Headers
hooked up. I have an aluminum driveshaft with new universals installed,
but the rear dif yoke needs to be swapped out. I do have a yoke to go
with it. Clutch pedal is installed, but z-bar and linkage need to be
installed. Aftermarket oil and water gauges included need to be hooked
up. Pretty solid car for it's age, no major rust. 4 wheel drum brakes, 15" wheels in back, 14" wheels in front. I do have the other 2 14" rims included, along w/ 14"hubcaps. New high performance aluminum distributor included. I bought the car a year ago, built
the motor for it, installed the motor and trans, and just never finished
it off. It's real close to finishing and getting back on the road. To
the right person, probably 1 or 2 good weekends of finishing hooking
stuff up, and it'll be back on the road. It does have an antique plate
that can be transferred over to new owner. Looking to get $2300.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
