1967 Mercury Comet Base Hardtop 2-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Chula Vista, California, United States
|
I'm selling a 1967 Comet Caliente. it is a 2 dr hardtop. Rebuilt 289 with a Windsor cam and Holley 4bbl intake and 600cfm carb. The trans is a Big C-4 with a mild shift kit and has been rebuilt. Exhaust is a set of Headman shorty headers followed by Flowmaster 2.5 exhaust. I have installed an aftermarket power booster and changed the front to 70 Cougar disc brakes. The Calipers have been rebuilt and the rear has new wheel cylinders. The soft hoses are replaced also. I have the power steering pump rebuilt, but haven't got around to the ram or slave cylinder, and hoses yet. I repaired and replaced some of the floors due to mice in the car. there are still dents all around the car but all easy to fix. and I found two small rust spots about the size of a pencil eraser in the drivers side rear by bumper ( see Pic ). The rear tail panel still needs to be repaired and I haven't had the chance to do it yet, but I have a complete tail panel to replace the damage. The hood is a true Cyclone hood, complete with inserts edge trim ( in trunk ) and the tag in the back corner under the hood. The car is an A/C car, but the guts to the heater core and vent hoses are missing. I added a standard heater core in trunk until one can be found. The gas tank has been cleaned and have an extra one to go with it. Extra parts are included like front fenders and headlight extensions. quarter panel extensions, and a passenger side door from a 2 door post and a few misc parts. The engine runs, and can be driven without the power steering for now. I misplaced the title and have sent away for a new one. It should be here in a couple weeks and will be sent to the buyer. I'm moving out of state soon and if it don't sell I will just take it with me to finish. I also am listing this Car locally so I can take the car off ebay if it sells at any time. |

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 probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A 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 2012According 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.'"
