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. |

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.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
