1964 Mercury Comet Cyclone on 2040-cars

This is a very rare 1964 Mercury Comet Cyclone two door hardtop. Pacific Blue with white interior which were both original colors of the car. It has the 289 K code engine with a C4 automatic transmission. Restoration was done approximately 15 years ago. The interior was reupholstered with the original color and the vinyl matches the original pattern. This included the seats, doors, and headliner. The door and trunk gaskets were also replaced. All of the glass is good and windows roll up and down. Added to the engine is an Eldelbrock intake, and a Ford dual point distributor. The original radiator had been replaced with a 3/core. I also have the original parts that were taken off of the engine that will go with the car, including distributor, intake, valve covers, etc…(I do not have the original radiator). Everything pictured will go with the car, including the original steel rims and stainless hubcaps, the set of rally wheels and tires, and the mag wheels that are currently on the car. The car is a very nice driver, is very clean and has been well maintained. Carpet is clean and chrome bumpers are very nice. All of the gauges work except the temp gauge which has been replaced with an aftermarket one. Heater, AM radio and factory mounted dash tach all work. The car is NOT perfect, it does have some scratches and nicks. There are a few small bubbles around the wheel wells and some cracked paint where the rear bumper attaches to the car. Underneath and frame of car are pretty clean. There are a few areas that have showed some wear, but nothing at all major. I actually wouldn’t even touch it. Again, this car is a driver. The car could use a tune up and probably a set of points. It will also need an emergency brake cable. The one that is on it has frozen up. It does not have the windshield washer fluid bag or the pump. It could also use a neutral safety switch. You must make sure the car is in park or neutral every time that you start it. I never had an issue with these things not being replaced, so that is up to you. For a 15 year old restoration, the car is extremely nice and very fun. I can send more pics upon request. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I’m sure there are things that I am forgetting. I encourage anyone to come look at the car if you are in the area. The car is sold AS IS with no warranty. I do reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Buyer pays for and arranges shipping. A $500.00 down payment will be due within 24 hours of auction close with full payment being made 5 days after auction close. Good Luck. |

Ford recalls 382k vehicles across six campaigns
Wed, Sep 30 2015Ford needs to repair a total of 381,633 vehicles in North America across six newly announced campaigns, including five safety recalls and one compliance recall. By far the largest of these campaigns covers the 342,271 examples of the 1998-2003 Windstar to double check an earlier recall repair. Among these, 283,413 are in the US and 58,858 are in Canada. The combination of corrosion and stress can cause cracks in the rear axle and eventually lead to the part to snap completely. The company reports a small number of accidents might be connected to this, but there are no injuries. The minivans were recalled for this issue back in 2010, and it was investigated by NHTSA. According to Ford's latest announcement, the reinforcement brackets on some of these models might not have been installed correctly. This time, dealers will perform an inspection. Minivans with incorrectly installed brackets will get a new rear axle. The rest of the owners will be offered a deal to replace the part at a reduced cost. The next largest campaign covers 36,857 examples of the 2015 F-150 to fix a problem with the adaptive cruise control. Specifically, there are 33,481 affected trucks in the US, and 3,376 in Canada. According to Ford, "when passing a large, highly reflective truck" the radar in the system can misidentify a semi as being in the same lane as the pickup. The collision warning system would then activate, slowing the F-150. There's one report of an accident with this happening but no injuries. The fix is simply an update to the adaptive cruise control module software. Ford also has a recall for 1,477 examples of its 2016 F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models, and they're all located in the US. A manufacturing issue might allow the trucks to shift into reverse without the driver first applying the brakes. There are no reports of any accidents from this, though. To repair the problem, the models get a new transmission shift control bracket and an adjustment to the shift cable. The Blue Oval's safety compliance recall covers 708 examples of the 2016 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, including 658 of them in the US, 28 in Canada, and 22 in Mexico. On these models, a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank could allow it to crack in a crash, which isn't allowed under federal rules. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires. The fix will be a new fuel tank for all of them. The company is also repairing 251 units of the 2015 Taurus and Lincoln MKS, plus the 2016 Explorer.
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.
NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
