I have a rare 1964 Mercury cyclone for sale with the stock 289 K code engine , bucket seats ,center console, power steering,cyclone tachometer. This is a numbers matching car with original engine and matching Vin Numbers!

This car still has the original black plates from California that shows it has been in the same family most of it's life and in California all it's life.   This car is very solid with no rust on the quarters .floor pans, trunk  doors, underneath the doors or around the gas tank.     

This cyclone is still all original with the Ford factory installed 289 k code engine that means it is a 289 engine with a factory installed 4 barrel manifold and 4 barrel carb.   

Nothing has been modified or changed it still has the original drive train, engine, and rear end. It still has the original black bucket seat interior color . The exterior color was originally twilight turquoise with a black interior. So a black interior car with a turquoise exterior is a stunning and beautiful combo. 

The car also has power steering and a dual exhaust for more power!

All the chrome is there , all the emblems are there nothing is missing or broken or missing, The bumpers are still good and bright not all bent up or rusty, The rocker moldings and wheel lip moldings are all there nothing is bent up or missing.  The cyclone door badges are there as well as the checkered flags and cyclone badges.  The car still has the original cyclone tachometer

If your looking for an all stock original unmodified true 1964 cyclone, with an easy restoration then this is it.   You can drive it as you work on it!

The car had been sitting in dry storage for many years so you would need to give it a complete tune up job, and fluid change.   The original  owner installed a new turn signal switch and did not hook up all the wires as well as the dash wires,so you will need to do that.

The engine sounds strong and does not knock, the power steering is working great and does not drip, The tranny does not leak nor slip out of gear.   

The only work I have done after getting it from the original owners in dry storage was put on a new master cyclinder so the brakes work.  I also had to by pass the ignition switch since the original owner did not install the dash wires  or turn signal switch.

Other than those minor things it is an easy restoration project since it is a solid rust free car with the original black plates from california. You can paint the car and make it a show piece or drive it like it is, it still turns heads wherever she goes!

I have many  more pics to send so please email me or call me for more info 206 817 8387

Thanks and good luck bidding!

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

Junkyard Gem: 1995 Mercury Tracer Trio

Sat, Feb 5 2022

With the rise of Radwood, cars with exaggerated characteristics associated with the 1980s and 1990s are cool again. That means some combination of pastel and/or neon colors, squiggly squeezed-from-toothpaste-tube graphics, nonfunctional decklid spoilers, giant TURBO badging, and kicky youth-centric nomenclature are required if you want your wheels to be considered in compliance with the sacred tenets of Radism. I do my best to find rad machinery while crawling around in car graveyards, and since I came of driving age in 1982 I know a bit about the subject. Today's rare Junkyard Gem shows us the Mercury Division's belated attempt to sell fun cars to rad-leaning youngsters: a Tracer Trio, found in a Denver yard a few weeks back. The Trio package added 310 bucks to the cost of the $11,280 base Tracer sedan (that's about $575 on a $20,925 car in 2022 dollars), and it got the hip-and-trendy young buyer a leather-wrapped steering wheel, seven-spoke wheels, a decklid spoiler and these rad fender badges. I'm going to say that the much louder graphics and candy-cane-colored displacement badges on the Pontiac Sunbird W25 out-radded the Tracer Trio by a mile, but then Pontiac generally out-radded everyone in those days. Even Plymouth got into the act with such radness as the Breeze Expresso and Sundance Duster (we'll overlook the anti-rad Horizon Miser here). Perhaps tellingly, Mercury, Pontiac and Plymouth all got the "Old Yeller" treatment not long after the Rad Era ended. The Tracer name always went on Mercuries built on Mazda platforms, starting with the Australia-built, Ford Laser-based 1987-1989 cars and then continuing with Mexico-assembled, Ford Escort-based 1991-1996 cars. That generation of Escort/Tracer was mechanical twins with the Mazda Protege, itself the bridge between the 323 and the Mazda3. Some Tracers got the a 1.8-liter Mazda engine that was related to the Miata's engine, but this one has the pure-Detroit CVH 1.9. You're looking at 88 horsepower right here; the Mazda 1.8 offered 127 horses. At least the original buyer of this car got the base five-speed manual transmission instead of forking over $815 extra (about $1,510 today) for the four-speed slushbox. As a 29-year-old slacker living in San Francisco's Mission District and driving a hooptie '65 Chevy Impala sedan at the time, I would have taken the manual transmission without the Trio package, had I been forced to buy a new Tracer.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
