I am selling my 1965 Comet Caliente. This is a parts car that will be sold with a bill of sale only, no title. Options include: A Code 289 Built in Los Angeles, CA. The Body Style is a 2-Dr. Hardtop. It has a V-8, 289 CID Engine with a 4-barrel carburetor Paint color is a solid Polar White Trim is Red Fabric & Vinyl Built on 11 in January 1965. The district sales office this car was ordered through was Seattle, WA Axle ratios is 3.00 to 1 conventional axle Transmission is Dual Range Automatic This car has not been on the road in years and has sat since the 1980/90's. I pulled it into the shop to make sure the engine was free. I charged the battery, put on a new ignition switch and jumped it at the solenoid. It cranked right over. I had unhooked the gas line prior to this. It ran when it was moved 4 years ago but did not fire when I tried this week. I am listing this now as a possible parts car to the Cyclone I have listed for a friend on my other auction. I had picked this Comet up in hopes of buying the Cyclone outright and using this as a parts car. Unfortunately, the Cyclone is out of my price range! The body is straight with the exception of the door hinge dents, one door ding, and one ding in front of the rear passenger tire on the quarter panel. I did not find any rust or cancer except for some rust on the battery tray. The floors/torque boxes are super solid. The glass is good. The interior is completely shot. The radio is there but did not turn on. Wipers and headlights work. Trunk is solid. Rear tires only hold air for a day or so. The hood hinges do not function properly causing the hood to not close normally (it sits forward and high in the back but will be tied down for transport). the trunk lid will also be tied down as the locking mechanism is off because of not having the key. I can assist in loading but shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Door Data Plate Info BODY 63D COLOR M TRIM 55 DATE 11A DSO 54 AXLE 1 TRANS 6 Please take a look at the pictures, read the entire description, and ask questions prior to bidding. While I have described this Comet and its condition to the best of my ability, I encourage inspection prior to bidding. I do not cancel bids for any reason and bid to buy as this is no reserve! Only a cashiers check or cash will be accepted as payment. A $250 deposit is due by paypal within 24hrs of the auction ending. Buyer responsible for shipping. There is no warranty with this car. Sold as is where is. Full payment is due within 7 days of the end of the auction. Again, only a bill of sale, no title. Must be picked up within 45 days of the close of the auction.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
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.
