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.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

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 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.
