This is a perfect example of a rust free unmolested CA car. This mercury comet was assembled in Los Angeles California and has always been a garage kept southern California car. All body panels line up perfectly straight.

The comet has it’s original 2.8l 170ci six cylinder that runs as smooth as can be, backed up with an automatic transmission it makes great for cruising. (The original 3 on a tree was converted to an automatic)

Everything has been gone through to make this thing a daily driver while still keeping all of its originality. New fuel pump, carburetor, spark plugs, suspension and leaf springs, all aluminum radiator, thermostat, rear end gone through and completely rebuilt, new brakes on all 4 corners. This car is very reliable and runs cool even in bumper-to-bumper traffic in Los Angeles.

Paint and interior are original as well; The paint still shows nice for being this old, but there are some scratches on the passenger side and the roof is a bit faded as shown in pictures. The interior is very nice with only a minor scuff on the drivers seat. A newer radio was installed in the glove box so you can listen to music while still keeping the original in place.

Somewhere along the way the previous owner added some s22 trim, which adds to the car, but the car is originally a 2 door custom sedan. This car is perfect to daily drive, cruise on the weekends, take to local shows, or restore since most of the original parts are there, only missing the hood and trunk emblem, the window handles for the back seats, and two of the hubcaps. Has current 2015 tags with clean CA title in my name on hand. Please feel free to ask any questions.

I encourage you to come take a look at the car for yourself before bidding. Car is being sold as is and buyer pays for shipping. All inspections of the car must be made before auction ends. A $500 deposit is required within 48 hours from auction end date. Car is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end action early.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill 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!

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The 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.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
