***1965 MERCURY CYCLONE 289 A CODE BUCKETS CONSOLE SURVIVOR RED RED***
***COLD AIR CONDITIONING --- AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION --- POWER STEERING***
***CARNIVAL RED PAINT --- RED BUCKET SEAT INTERIOR***

This is a 1965 Mercury Cyclone coupe in Carnival Red with red bucket seat interior. The owner asked me to list because he is moving to Florida and downsizing. This is a pretty original car with 106K miles on it. The only changes from original are the Cragar SS wheels, conversion to a dual chamber master cylinder, replaced the original four barrel with an Edelbrock and the AC compressor has been upgraded. The car is a great driver with power steering and automatic C4 transmission. I could not find any rust or evidence of previous rust on the solid body. It has been repainted once. The paint has aged and has some chips and blems. We believe the interior is original with buckets and console and a white headliner. The AC is very cold. AM radio does not work. Engine is the 289 A code that runs well. Car is a solid driver that could easily be taken to a higher level. It's a nice survivor car. Email any question or ask for the owner's number if you would like to take a look at the Cyclone.

It has the Cyclone flag emblems on the rear quarters.

Body is straight and rust free

Tires are P205X70X15 with Cragar SS wheels

Owner puts the clubs in the trunk and takes it to the golf course regularly.

Owner believes the interior is original. When you sit in the driver seat you can tell it has some miles on it. I didn't see any rips in interior.

Factory bucket seats and console.

Note the AC unit under dash. We think it must have been installed at the factory or at the dealership when car was new.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags.
