 First off let me say that this car is pretty much an original car the way it is and the only reason I put it as a project is because it needs minor body work, paint and interior to be really nice but it is a pretty nice driver the way it is Here we have a 1966 comet up for sale. It is mostly an original car with a few improvements made. Originally this car was a 390 bbc car but it now has a 428 service block (C6ME) with 427 tri power  low riser heads (C3AE-8090-G) witch spec out to 428 cj head specs . I mean they are identical with 70cc combustion chambers  and  the same size valves pretty much the same head just different casting numbers. Now the build on this motor is only about a year old so there is not a lot of miles on it and it shows. It is bored 30 over with 12:1 compression pistons and a solid cam with high/lift duration and comp roller rockers with shell lifters and dove  push rods. Sitting on top is a 428 police interceptor intake (C7AE-9425) with a new Edelbrock  650 carb. The ignition is a Mallory unilite mech adv distributor with new cap and wires.

Now the tran’s has been upgraded too with a manual valve body and B&M shift kit and a factory 2500 stall convertor and new rear  tranny  mount  and if you stick your foot in the carb it will snap your head back when it hits second gear. The rear end was not left out either it is a factory 3:25 28 spline posi unit that was completely rebuilt. So the whole drive line is as close to new as you can get.

The car is pretty much all original with original paint and interior. The front seats need to be redone but the back seat and door panels look good yet and the dash pad has one crack at the speaker grille besides that it is very nice but the headliner around the rear deck looks like years of moisture on the back window has taken its toll and it will need to be replaced at some point. The console is in very good condition and all interior lights work as they should. All gauges work as they should and even the radio still works. Head lights,blinkers and brake lights work as they should. Tires are new 205/75/r14 and the brakes work good but it is 4-wheel drum brakes. Nada values this car from low retail at $10,465 to high retail at $31,070 with the average price of $18,265. Now my reserve is well below the average retail price so this is your chance to get a valuable car for under book value. If you have any questions you can email me thru ebay or call me at 231-206-5258 and my name is Kirk. Thanx for looking

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
