 This is a 1974 Mercury Comet with 302 V8 engine C4 automatic transmission, Runs and drives fine. Engine is a custom built 302 V8 with AFR  Aluminum Heads ( by far the best aftermarket small-block Ford heads ever designed!) Erson TQ-50 Camshaft, Fluidamper, Edlebrock Performer RPM, Demon Carburetor, Headers with custom dual exhaust with cross-over( high and tight! )  and Flowmaster 2 Chamber mufflers, front Drag shocks,Custom built copper/brass radiator (never overheats!)w/ electric cooling fan,  Complete car Kill-switch,  Built rear-end with 3.80 Gears and spool.
  This Comet has a '73 Maverick hood and grill and front bumper, changed out because the mercury hood was so ugly!
  Painted in 2008, electrical system was replaced in 2008 with a Brand  NEW  wiring kit. All work on this car was done in 2008 and car has basically been in storage since. I hate to sell this ride, but I just have no time for it, at all.
   This Comet is not perfect. It does have a few dings and dents but all in all this car just needs a carpet kit, headliner, rear seat, heater/defroster (all available from AutoKrafters.com) and a few minor odds & ends ( just the final things to add your own finishing touches ) and someone with more time to enjoy this car!
   This 1974 Comet is an absolute blast to drive! It's very fast!  It was built to be a driver that could still hit the 1/4 mile hard. It is great for cruise night! Gets lots of looks, people just love this car! And has spanked many a Camaro and Chevelle.
   Car is owned by me and title is free and clear  and sold as is.
- Comet is Located in Fallbrook, Ca. about 50 miles North of San Diego, Ca. and about 100 miles south of Los Angeles, Ca.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
