Red 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente With Fresh Race Engine on 2040-cars
San Angelo, Texas, United States
|
This 1964 Mercury Comet is in excellent shape. There is no rust to be found...the floorboards, rockers, fenders, trunk pan, and everything else is clear of rust. It is the Caliente trim package. It has new carpet and the seats have been redone, so they are not torn or dirty. The 351 small block engine was built for street racing. The engine is from a 1964 Thunderbird. It has a full roller cam, popup pistons, it was bored .030 over, with headers, a 4 barrel carb and aluminum intake. The distributor and ignition are MSD. The compression is not too radical, so it runs just great on pump gas. It has a nice mean lope. It is a C-4 automatic transmission with a B&M Megashifter. It has a 9" Ford rearend, with 3.90 gears, so it launches quick and accelerates hard thru the 1/4. Split bench seat in front with plush upholstery, front and back seats. The headliner is not torn and doesn't hang down loose. All the glass is good and everything works. It does need a trunk lock. We had to borrow the lock to put on another 1964 Comet and haven't ordered a new one. I bought the car from my Dad several years ago, and with a new baby in the family, I just don't have time to drive it, and I need the money for my growing family. It is a bright red color (fire engine red) with white inserts on the side trim. All the trim is in great shape, and all emblems are present. The engine has less than a thousand miles on it since the rebuild. I had a machine shop build the motor. The tires are in great shape, with plenty of tread, except for one of the back tires scraped against something and has some grooves on the sidewall so probably needs to be replaced before you hammer the gas and get too crazy in it. It has true dual exhaust with short glass packs, so it sounds as great as it looks. I painted the car a few years ago and it showed no signs of ever being wrecked. It drives straight and tracks straight, so I'm sure the frame is straight as an arrow. The car is compact and light, so it will get up and MOVE! I love this car and hate to sell it, but I know if you win the bidding, you will be getting an awesome car that everyone will absolutely love. Good luck and thanks for looking at my car. Sincerely, Jansen Hale

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
