1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone, This car was built in Lorain, Ohio on December 12th 1964... shes almost 50. Sold new at Macon county Ford/Mercury it lived most of its life in Macon, Georgia. Its been in NC for a few years now. This is my 5th comet, 2nd Cyclone- I hate to sell it but have too many projects going on at once to finish it. I have a clear title in my name. Ill describe the car as best I can- Original red with white vinyl top, I thought about painting top white to look factory but I have the trim pieces to make it a regular hardtop if you wanted to. Car was painted about 7 years ago and shines nicely, has a few minor spots on rh front fender that may buff out. Top is losing its shine a little bit. Frame rails are solid. Needs heater core, bypassed for now. This is one of the Cyclones that came with the uber-rare factory fiberglass hood. Original owner removed it for safekeeping replacing it with standard hood but it was painted to match when car was done. It is in excellent condition, you know what these hoods go for since only an estimated 200-300 were made- see pics. Doors, hood, deck lid and front fenders were removed when painted so both sides could be done and are in great shape. Painted in PPG Nason Holly Red, real sharp. interior was originally red carpet with white buckets. Now has black caliente bench seats. Car has 69 mustang 4 barrel 302 with 88 mustang GT H.O. heads for running unleaded. Early 70s vintage weiand intake and edelbrock carb. Mild cam. Original 4 speed. Runs strong, turns great, brakes well, shifts well, sounds great nice throaty exhaust note. Lights, signals, wipers and gauges work but amp gauge doesn't always indicate proper volts though car charges perfectly. 69 mach one chrome wheels with fairly new rubber. New parts include- dash pad, battery, leaf springs (St Louis spring company) shackles, bushings and all hardware with new KYB gas-adjust shocks. Headliner is new but needs tightened up some. Windsheild and seal, rear window seal, trunk seal and door seals. Door panels were recovered with new armrests a couple years ago. Freshly chromed front bumper- still in box. Needs rear bumper chromed and has a slight bend in it that could be straightened by any decent bumper shop. I have rear window trim but haven't installed it yet. Also have 2 lower windshield trim pieces both in good shape. Many extra parts including headlight buckets with entire headlight assembly and housing, gauge cluster taillights, turn signals, rear trim panels, front wheelwell trim, drip rails, cyclone bucket seats and rear seat- need recovered, console- needs restored but all there and not broken- more trim parts etc. I do not have rocker molding or rear wheelwell trim- these parts are unique to the Cyclone and are very difficult to find. I opted to leave it plain but you can fnd them on ebay sometimes. If you want a true red 65 cyclone 4 speed, here ya go, drive it while you finish it or just cruise as is, guaranteed to draw attention everywhere you go. No warranty expressed or implied- NO RESERVE. Thanks for looking! |

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.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The 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.
