No Reserve!

I am selling this sweet 64 Cyclone for a friend. This was her father's car since 1982 and was last on the road in 1985, when it was parked until now. It still has the original Washington '63 plates and the last tabs from 1985. Though it has been off the road since 1985, it has been ran and moved several times throughout the years to help keep everything fresh. It has 79,056 original miles. We hooked up en external fuel tank to ensure it was still a good runner and sure enough, it fired right up. As any car of this age, you will need to go through it and tune it up prior to putting it back on the road.

Some of the options include:

289 K code engine
4 Speed Manual Trans
3.25 gears in the rear
Original Chrome Engine Dress Up Kit
Cyclone Trim Package
Original interior
Original Paint
Dash Tach
Center Console
Original hubcaps (note: they are not fully pressed on the wheels in the pictures as we took them off for safe storage after)

This car truly is an original, low miles, high optioned car. It is extremely straight and virtually rust free (check out the pictures).

The only body damage I could find is a small ding on the driver side rear (see pic), 2 small indents on the front quarter panel where the door hinges are from over extending. and one pinhole on the lower passenger side quarter panel. Other than those issues, I could find no rust (floors are super solid) or other body damage.

I have received several questions in the first two hours of the Comet being posted:

Q1. What is your buy it now price or what will it take to end the auction early?
A1. I do not have a buy it now price to end the auction early. I will let the auction run its course and the Comet will go to the winning bidder.

Q2. If you consider ending the auction, please let me know beforehand.
A2. See above question. (This auction will be completed through eBay and not ended early).

Q3. When you started the car, did you drive it as well?
A3. No, we simply hooked the fuel line up to an external gas tank and ran it at idle for several minutes. We did not hear any unusual noises and the oil pressure was good. The carburetor did flood after several minutes (needs to be rebuilt).

I will continue to add updates as additional questions come in. Thank you!
Ben

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never 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.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford 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.
