1964 Mercury Comet, V8, Manual Trans, Runs Great, Possible Ratrod, Cheap Project on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
|
Up for auction is a running and driving 1964 Mercury Comet, that originally had a 260 but, now has a great running 302. The trans is a " 3 on the Tree " manual transmission that shifts great. The car was an AC car originally but, most of the components have been removed. The car is very straight with just a few dents. The windows roll up and down great, the lights, blinkers, brake lights all work too. The car has no rust on the body anywhere but, the drivers floor and the passenger floor have two patches in them. The rear floors look great, under the hood looks great, trunk looks great, as my guess was a leaking heater core in the past. The doors open and shut great, and the car drives down the road nice and straight and the manual brakes are adjusted perfect and do not pull to either side. The car has the Ford 5 lug pattern, as it was originally a V8, 260. The car has tons of parts that would transfer over to a 1964 Comet 2 door, or you can drive it as she its. The engine is a 302, topped of with a Edelbrock Intake, and a 600 cfm Edelbrock carb. The car sat for a few years so, I do not suggest driving the car any long distances back home to be safe. She runs at 60 PSI of oil pressure after she warms up and right about 180 degrees but, I have only had her on a few mile trip. The pictures cover the car pretty well, and what it comes down to is.... the car will be sold to the highest bidder!!! I do have a clean title in MY name for the car also. The windshield is cracked but, the rest of the glass is good, and it's all Carlite glass besides the windshield of the car. I do not have any spare parts for the car, as what you see is what you get. The fuel tank was in great shape, as I flushed the tank, cleaned out the lines so, she is ready to cruise around. It can be a donor car, or a cheap car that you don't have to smog! The original seatbelts are still in the car also. Good Luck The car is a PROJECT type car! The winning bidder is required to pay a $500 non refundable deposit due within 24 hours of winning the car! The car is being sold " As Is" due to it's age. The deposit must be paid through Paypal. The remaining balance is due within 3 days of the auction closing, and the final payment may be made with Paypal, a Cashiers check, wire transfer or cash in person. The car must be picked up within 2 weeks of the auction closing, and my zip code is 89131 for shipping purposes. Please email me with any questions, and good luck!! |

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"

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.
