You are bidding on a Super Clean 1965 Mercury Comet
Caliente (Clone-Cyclone). I was going to build a straight axle Gasser
out of this car but I couldn't due to that it drives like a dream. Handles great. Front end anti sway bar. I didn't want to chop up a super clean car. This one is like a
road racer, handles corners and drives straight and smooth, to me way
too much power with this 351 Windsor and the C6 Super trans. This is my everyday driver so you can drive this car
anywhere. No heating worries, No leaks at all, Way too many New parts
on this car, Brakes, Trans, Brake lines, Rims and front 60's Rocket racing rims 4.5" and new front/rear tires,
New Cyclone hood and front fiberglass bumper, I do have a rear
fiberglass bumper but I like the chrome one on it now. Head lights, turn
signals, brake lights work great. New heater fan motor, and
blower/defroster and it will cook you out of the car when
on. All glass on car is great, windshield has a few very light scratches
on the upper corner but nothing real bad, I haven't change that out
because I didn't think it show that much. Trim has been polish about two
years ago and looks still great. Could use a paint job but it still
holds a super shine. Front seat is covered (temp fix) but isn't too bad, and looks real nice. Back
seat is stock caliente style and looks nice. Front end I installed a Mr.
Gasket 2" lift kit and what a difference on the handling. Headliner in great shape, Pretty much the car could use a paint job and then the car
would look brand new. Or just drive it the way it is now, I still get so
many people saying what a great looking car, they say they used to see
alot of these cars out at Lion's Drag Strip and at Carlsbad Drag Strip
in the 60's and they were very fast. I just put double stainless tubed
exhaust on the rear and it looks great. On the driver side floor pan has
a small crack in it but I didn't change it out because it's really not
that bad, it's about maybe 2 in a half inches long, if I thought it was
serious I would have changed it out so don't let that scare you I'm
probably making it sound like a big thing but it's not to me. It is truly a Real Clean Classic Hot Rod. I've had 4 other Comets before and I think
this one is my cleanest one of all. The reason I'm selling it is because
our car club is getting back into Gassers again. Other than that I
really would keep it because it's Super fast and reliable. I'm not
asking a fortune for it but I think I'm asking a real fair price.
Please ask questions and bid to win. Who ever wins this car is getting a
true Hot Rod and can drive it for many many years. The OTHER car is for sale, it's been on MTV, Sublime used it in one of their video's. Signed by a lot of famous people. Wins almost every show it goes too. Please bid if you have the money. I reserve the right to remove from auction if sold before auction ends. Happy Bidding.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
