1967 Mercury Comet Base Sedan 4-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Pullman, Washington, United States
|
I am selling my 1967 Mercury Comet. The Caliente is a so-called
intermediate-size Mercury and comes as a 4-door sedan. The engine is a
289 cu.in. V8 with 200hp.
Condition: The car has around 100.000 + 1800 miles (might change slightly until the end of the auction) on the odometer and is in decent condition. The color is robins's eggblue. The paint job is in good condition considering the age, but there are a couple of scratches and a few rust spots on the exterior (compare images). The car leaks tiny amounts of fluids every now and then, but nothing that ever needed to be fixed. I put on white-wall tires which are still under warranty for at least 3000+ miles. The car was already lowered when I bought it. The exhaust pipes have been adapted to this lowering kit and new rear shocks have been installed recently. The battery and the choke assembly have been replaced in July. After the winter the carburetor made problems, so I purchased a re-manufactured carburetor and replaced it also in July. The car starts and runs smoothly. As with most old cars with a carburetor, fine adjustments need to be done to adapt it to the time of the year. The interior is in nice condition and the black leather seats are barely scratched or ripped. There is a car stereo (hidden CD/radio with boxes in the front and back) - nothing fancy, but it works fine, even with the rumbling sound of the car in the background. The original radio is also operational, but was never used by me. The drivers' door window has trouble going up all the way without a small push and the window trim has seen better times. The car looks overall looks and drives nice for its age and is always a conversation starter wherever you go. History: I am aware of one pre-owner from whom I bought the car, but I do not have any additional information concerning the cars' history. Extras: I have an original registered owners' manual as well as a 1967 Mercury shop manual explaining every part of the car and its maintenance in great detail. There is also additional equipment, such as studded winter tires (back) and brand-new car jacks with extra stands. Payment/Warranty: You are welcome and encouraged to inspect and drive this vehicle before bidding. Please ask all of your questions before bidding. For any questions or additional information, please contact me and I will try to answer you as fast as possible. Payment by cashier check/cash, after an immediate PayPal deposit only. Payment in full due within 7 days of auction ending. The car will not be shipped or released until all funds (including cash) have cleared my PayPal/bank account. Please note: Vehicle is sold as-is. No warranty written or implied. No refunds. No International sales. Local buyers are preferred. Shipping: The buyer will be responsible for arranging the pick-up ad/or shipping of the vehicle. |

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.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford 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.
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.
