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.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
