The Mercury Meteor Page

Welcome to the 1962 Mercury Meteor Page

The purpose of this page is to help anyone with one of these cars to locate parts and info, and for anyone who is just interested.

In the summer of 1993 I became the owner of a 1962 Mercury Meteor 2 door sedan which had been hit on the passenger side, in addition to having all the usual little problems of any older car. Since then, I have struggled to find parts, which aren't all that easy to find. Fortunatly, many of the mechanical parts are the same as many other Ford models, and aren't quite as hard to come by as the body parts. After gaining some interest in the internet, someone suggested to me that I try to locate parts over the net, which I tried, only to find nothing out there. After about a week, I decided that instead of waiting for the information I was looking for to just suddenly appear, I was going to work towards getting it, and so I made this page. Things have changed a bit since then, a search on ebay usualy turns up something for the Meteor, and reproduction and aftermarket parts for Fairlanes and Comets are available making many Meteor items available. Still, I want this page to be a compilation of all the information and resources I have found over the years.

update (10/13/99): seeing as how it's been almost 2 years (!) sence a real update, I'm finally getting motivated to put a little time into this page. Also, please note, I'm getting swamped with mail I don't have time to reply to, so if you don't see a reply, that's why. I intend to get through mail as soon as I can though. I now have a scanner, so I'm finally motivated to do much needed updates. Here's a few things I intend to get to: I know little above and beyond the '62 and '63 Meteor, so instead of simply replying to that affect over and over, I'm going to get a list of e-mail addresses for different years of Meteors, and related models. That way, people can just talk to one another and hopefully get more of their questions answered. I definetly want to include 1) a list of parts suppliers and wrecking yards, as well as 2) a list of cars/parts that people have located. I have many pictures to scan...I'm debating sticking all them on CD while I'm going though the trouble, so that may very well be a slow process. Finally I'd like to try to include all the tips/tricks/hints that people have passed along to me, as well as that info that I've found elsewhere over the years. Hopefully I can get started in the near future!

update (1/10/03): Wow, even more time has passed with few changes to the site.

update (1/31/03): I've been (finally) putting a little time in on updates. I decided to go ahead and stick my changes on the site, though there isn't that much content there yet. I've made all the pages functional instead of being broken links, but most have little content yet. My hope is that I can add information as I go so you won't have to wait for me to get everything finished...that may be a long time at this rate! I'm sure lots of errors and typos are still lurking out there somewhere...please excuse the mess.

update (3/31/03): After a little clean-up, I'm replacing the old main page with an auto-forward to this one. Please update any links to point here.

Select one of the following links for more info on:

Note: I have a lot of Falcon, Fairlane, and Comet parts along with other stuff that I'd be glad to sell


Here are some links to other pages which may have related information: (note links to vendors, wrecking yards, etc. will eventually migrate to the pages linked to above, in the proper catagory. Start there first.)

I also want to use this list to keep track of everyone who's given me a link to this page in their own. If I've asked you for a link and your page isn't listed below, let me know and I'll fix it.
