 First off let me say that this car is pretty much an original car the way it is and the only reason I put it as a project is because it needs minor body work, paint and interior to be really nice but it is a pretty nice driver the way it is Here we have a 1966 comet up for sale. It is mostly an original car with a few improvements made. Originally this car was a 390 bbc car but it now has a 428 service block (C6ME) with 427 tri power  low riser heads (C3AE-8090-G) witch spec out to 428 cj head specs . I mean they are identical with 70cc combustion chambers  and  the same size valves pretty much the same head just different casting numbers. Now the build on this motor is only about a year old so there is not a lot of miles on it and it shows. It is bored 30 over with 12:1 compression pistons and a solid cam with high/lift duration and comp roller rockers with shell lifters and dove  push rods. Sitting on top is a 428 police interceptor intake (C7AE-9425) with a new Edelbrock  650 carb. The ignition is a Mallory unilite mech adv distributor with new cap and wires.

Now the tran’s has been upgraded too with a manual valve body and B&M shift kit and a factory 2500 stall convertor and new rear  tranny  mount  and if you stick your foot in the carb it will snap your head back when it hits second gear. The rear end was not left out either it is a factory 3:25 28 spline posi unit that was completely rebuilt. So the whole drive line is as close to new as you can get.

The car is pretty much all original with original paint and interior. The front seats need to be redone but the back seat and door panels look good yet and the dash pad has one crack at the speaker grille besides that it is very nice but the headliner around the rear deck looks like years of moisture on the back window has taken its toll and it will need to be replaced at some point. The console is in very good condition and all interior lights work as they should. All gauges work as they should and even the radio still works. Head lights,blinkers and brake lights work as they should. Tires are new 205/75/r14 and the brakes work good but it is 4-wheel drum brakes. Nada values this car from low retail at $10,465 to high retail at $31,070 with the average price of $18,265. Now my reserve is well below the average retail price so this is your chance to get a valuable car for under book value. If you have any questions you can email me thru ebay or call me at 231-206-5258 and my name is Kirk. Thanx for looking

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

What do you do with a fake Bugatti Veyron for $60k?

Tue, Mar 29 2016

Replica cars are a challenging labor of love because builders spend countless hours recreating a vehicle that people immediately compare to the real thing. Perhaps, the person behind this Mercury Cougar-based Bugatti Veyron should look for another way to pass that time. The coupe is currently for sale on eBay Motors for $59,900. The builder deserves some credit because the fiberglass body looks acceptable in the photos from farther away. The car might even fool a few people from a distance. However, the devil is in the details, and the closer you look, the worse this gets. The side intakes are especially rough. The red interior is atrocious. It's essentially the Cougar's cabin but in an eye-searing shade accented with lots of fake carbon fiber. The seller's eBay Motors ad really tries to market the look, though. "You slide in to [sic] this extremely comfortable leather interior and you feel like your bank account just quadrupled in size," the listing says. Don't expect to win any top speed titles in this Veyron replica, either. Rather than a mid-mounted quad-turbo W16, a 3.0-liter V6 from a Mercury Sable sits at the front. Thanks to an upgraded intake and exhaust, the seller claims, "It doesn't sound like your grandmas [sic] Sable." We wish the seller the best of luck, but the asking price of nearly $60,000 is probably too optimistic. We would still think twice about buying it even after taking a zero off that figure, but at least this thing is fun to look at. Related Video:

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.
