You are bidding on a nice 1965 comet cyclone. It has been in storage for the last 10 years or so. My brother and I purchased it with plans of restoring it but have not been able to do so, therefore we have decided to sell it so someone can get the enjoyment out of it. This is a very good example of a restore while you can use it as well. The passenger front floor has been replaced. Other than that the car is very solid the frame rails are good as well as you can see in the pics. Also you can see the car was undercoated very well at a much earlier date which has very much done its job. The car has a 289 v8 not sure if it is a #s matching and the trans has been replaced with a c4 transmission the motor has shorty headers and was never adapted to reach the exhaust.The engine does run but probably needs a few things buttoned up on it such as the radiator is out of the car but we do have one that will be included in the sale. the paint on the car is really nice and would look even better with a good cleaning and a wax job. As you can see in the pics the hood and deck lid was louvered with was done prior to us purchasing it but it is a nice job. The original front seats have been replaced at some point with what you see. the tires and rims you see in the pics have been replaced with newer white wall tires on steel rims but we do still have the rims shown if buyer is interested. This comet cyclone came with the four barrel option but is not a hipo car. The original vin is still stamped in the engine compartment and all of the original engine panels in place. Overall we purchased this car because it is such a good candidate for a great finished product, just dont have the time. We have this car priced right for a quick sale, dont miss out. A non refundable deposit of $500.00 will be due within 48 hours of auctions end via paypal and the balance must be p[aid in cash or certified check within 10 days of auctions end. the car and title will be released after check has cleared. You are welcome to come inspect the car in person. I will be happy to answer any questions. Thanks for looking Good luck.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
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.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."
