This beautiful 1966 Mercury Comet GT has been carefully restored to its original specs. This is believed to be the original 390/335hp numbers matching V-8 engine and C-6 automatic transmission, with power steering and factory type A/C. The attention to detail has been outstanding throughout this restoration process. The interior is in great shape with no rips or tears anywhere. The headliner is tight and the door panels, seats, and dash are like new. There is a Pioneer am/fm/cd stereo mounted in the glove box area with a remote control. This car drives tremendously well and the air blows cold as it should. The engine compartment looks exceptional with all new wires, hoses, belts and chrome valve covers and air cleaner. This car needs nothing mechanically or otherwise, it is ready to be enjoyed from the minute you purchase it. Check out the trunk space. The spare tire, jack and wrench is properly held in place and the floor is covered with a factory like mat. The undercarriage will speak wonders for how solid and rust free this car really is. The floor pans look amazing. It has Flowmaster dual exhaust from the manifolds back. This car rides better than you would expect on this new set of Firestone red line tires mounted on factory wheels. This is a great deal for this true 66 Comet GT classic car.

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.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
