Seattle, Washington, United States

I have a rare 1964 Mercury cyclone for sale with the stock 289 K code engine , bucket seats ,center console, power steering,cyclone tachometer. This is a numbers matching car with original engine and matching Vin Numbers! This car still has the original black plates from California that shows it has been in the same family most of it's life and in California all it's life. This car is very solid with no rust on the quarters .floor pans, trunk doors, underneath the doors or around the gas tank. This cyclone is still all original with the Ford factory installed 289 k code engine that means it is a 289 engine with a factory installed 4 barrel manifold and 4 barrel carb. Nothing has been modified or changed it still has the original drive train, engine, and rear end. It still has the original black bucket seat interior color . The exterior color was originally twilight turquoise with a black interior. So a black interior car with a turquoise exterior is a stunning and beautiful combo. The car also has power steering and a dual exhaust for more power! All the chrome is there , all the emblems are there nothing is missing or broken or missing, The bumpers are still good and bright not all bent up or rusty, The rocker moldings and wheel lip moldings are all there nothing is bent up or missing. The cyclone door badges are there as well as the checkered flags and cyclone badges. The car still has the original cyclone tachometer If your looking for an all stock original unmodified true 1964 cyclone, with an easy restoration then this is it. You can drive it as you work on it! The car had been sitting in dry storage for many years so you would need to give it a complete tune up job, and fluid change. The original owner installed a new turn signal switch and did not hook up all the wires as well as the dash wires,so you will need to do that. The engine sounds strong and does not knock, the power steering is working great and does not drip, The tranny does not leak nor slip out of gear. The only work I have done after getting it from the original owners in dry storage was put on a new master cyclinder so the brakes work. I also had to by pass the ignition switch since the original owner did not install the dash wires or turn signal switch. Other than those minor things it is an easy restoration project since it is a solid rust free car with the original black plates from california. You can paint the car and make it a show piece or drive it like it is, it still turns heads wherever she goes! I have many more pics to send so please email me or call me for more info 206 817 8387 Thanks and good luck bidding!

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.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now 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."

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
