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 recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

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.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
