 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

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
