1964 Mercury Comet Caliente 4 Door V8 302 5 Speed Factory V8 Car Roller Gt40 on 2040-cars
Macungie, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is a 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente 4 door. Was originally a V8 w/
auto. Now has a 302 roller motor, GT40 heads, with T5 5 speed manual
trans. Motor is in and bolted up, along with the trans. Carb is
installed, but needs the linkage attached. Power assist hoses needed. New aluminum 2 row radiator. Headers
hooked up. I have an aluminum driveshaft with new universals installed,
but the rear dif yoke needs to be swapped out. I do have a yoke to go
with it. Clutch pedal is installed, but z-bar and linkage need to be
installed. Aftermarket oil and water gauges included need to be hooked
up. Pretty solid car for it's age, no major rust. 4 wheel drum brakes, 15" wheels in back, 14" wheels in front. I do have the other 2 14" rims included, along w/ 14"hubcaps. New high performance aluminum distributor included. I bought the car a year ago, built
the motor for it, installed the motor and trans, and just never finished
it off. It's real close to finishing and getting back on the road. To
the right person, probably 1 or 2 good weekends of finishing hooking
stuff up, and it'll be back on the road. It does have an antique plate
that can be transferred over to new owner. Looking to get $2300.

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. Scroll down to read the recall announcement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or download the full defect notice as a PDF, here.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
