1964 Mercury Comet Cyclone on 2040-cars

Vienna, Virginia, United States

1964 Comet Cyclone: Only 7,454 of these were made.  How many would you guess are left? Only one year of this body style was ever built. 

This car's Data Plate: 63E (2dr.Cyclone) J(Carnival Red) 05 (White interior) A28 (Jan.28 build) 22 (Dallas Texas) 1 (310 to 1) 6 (3 Speed Automatic)

This car runs and drives like new. The engine and three speed automatic transmission were rebuilt. The exhaust is new with stainless mufflers and tips, and has a fabulous sound. The list or things done to it is endless but include: Petronics, tires, brakes and lines, radiator and shroud, heater core, halogen headlights, belts, hoses, generator, regulator, brake solenoid, seat belts, battery, and more.  The undercarriage was so excellent  that it has been cleaned and painted. (Pre-paint undercarriage pictures are available) You'll be impressed with the detailing and overall integrity of the lines and body. The older paint  is buffed to a beautiful luster- not perfect but is excellent and gets a ton of compliments. The chrome is in excellent condition and the front bumper may have been re-chromed. Back bumper is very nice original. The headliner is original.  As you can see, the door and trunk gaskets have been replaced. The interior is excellent having been reupholstered at some point and shows very little wear.  The title and odometer show that the car has 54k miles and it looks and feels believable, although I would not represent a car this old as original miles. This is a rust free, drive anywhere no-nonsense car that is as unique as it is beautiful. The Carnival Red color is really rich, and has various looks depending on the light as you can see from the pictures.

If you are looking for a car that will stand out in any meet or show, this is one to be proud of.  You will, more than likely not see others in this kind of condition.  I believe that if you search the country, you won't find another one like it as of this writing for sale. The car is being sold where is, as-is with no warrantee expressed or implied.  I recommend you come see it prior to bidding. The car is not advertised anywhere else, but I reserve the right to end the auction at any time prior to it hitting my reserve. Everything but the tachometer and cigarette lighter works including the AM radio.

Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module

Wed, Dec 23 2015

The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.

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.
