I purchased this 1976 Mercury Comet from the 2nd owner in June of 2006. The previous owner stated the miles were original and it was stored inside a barn. The motor was just rebuilt when I bought it at around 71,000 miles. It was bored .030 over. A Edelbrock Cam and Lifter Kit was used along with intake manifold, 4-barrel carburetor and valve covers, all Edelbrock as well. Side pipe exhaust, Cragar S/S wheels and Rear Air Shocks were done by previous owner as well. There was an aftermarket stereo and speakers installed by previous owner but I decided to go with the working, original stereo. There is a lot of new parts I have installed along the way since owning it. Spark Plugs, Ford Racing 9mm Plug Wires, All Belts and Hoses, Thermostat,  MSD Blaster Coil, Duralast Starter, Battery Cables, K&N Air Filter, Duraspark Distributor Cap & Rotor and Fuel filter. Just changed the oil and filter. There is a few New-Old-Stock parts as well. Instrument Panel Circuit Board, Comet Locking Gas Cap, Dome Light Cover, Gear Shift Knob and Hood Prop Grommets. There was a Grant Aftermarket Steering Wheel in it when I bought it but I replaced it with a 1970's Ford Sport Steering wheel. The car runs and drives great. No leaks. All glass is in great shape. Headliner has a burnt spot as you can see in the picture. Other than that, great shape. The seats do need re-upholstered but just the fabric, springs are good. I have and will include a new color matched seat cover. Carpet has a spot missing on passenger side and driver's side foot pad is coming apart along the seam. All lights inside and out work. The check engine light came on after replacing the instrument panel circuit board with a NOS one, have not figured out why yet. Brakes are good. Tires do have some dry rot from sitting but lots of tread left. Paint is oxidized but shines up well. There is a spot on hood due to an egg. Did not get it cleaned off in time. Driver's side quarter panel and door has some tree sap damage to paint. There is a dent on hood in same spot as well. Dent on driver's side door by front fender. Looks like a crease. Few dents in trunk lid. There is very little rust. Quarter sized on both rear quarter panels on bottom by wheels. Rear bumper bracket has some rot on passenger side. All molding is there and I have the piece for the driver's side door, fell off. Dash pad has some cracks. Front grill has a crack by mounting tab. I have the original key for trunk and locking glove box. Clean title, in hand. Any questions, please feel free to ask. Buyer is responsible for shipping and car is sold as is. Thank you for your time.

This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway

Tue, Oct 27 2015

The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below. Related Video:

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

This Mercury Cougar Eliminator is a lovely '69 survivor

Sun, Jul 31 2016

If you have an overachieving brother/sister/cousin/friend (or whoever), you might know this feeling well; it can be tough to live up to those standards. In many ways, that notion can also describe the Mercury Cougar and its pioneering Ford Mustang sibling. Quite the act to follow, no? Happily though, the Cougar proved to be different enough from its Mustang relative to make a big splash, and perhaps no more so than in its racy "Eliminator" trim, new for 1969. This is one such heady Mercury, dressed in sporty Competition Orange paint, and claimed to be an unrestored "survivor." Need it in your life? The '69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator recently popped up on eBay in Chepachet, Rhode Island . The genesis of the Mercury Cougar began in 1967, really with one singular purpose—to bridge the gap between the Ford Mustang and the Ford Thunderbird with a more upscale, stylish, and chiefly more "European" feeling pony car. It's safe to say the Cougar fit the bill. Using the Mustang chassis as a base, the early Cougars were about three inches longer than their 'Stang cousins and offered better legroom, sleek front and rear fascias, and a more luxe interior. Don't mistake "upscale" for "soft" however; come 1969 the Eliminator package gave the Cougar a seriously mean attitude. Spec-up the interior package and you received high-back bucket seats, a Rallye clock, wood-rimmed steering wheel, and padded interior moldings among other custom trims. Outside is where the Eliminator really struts its stuff, though. Eliminators came equipped with a blacked-out grille, special steel wheels, an aggressive front splitter and rear wing, plus racy decals and side stripes. Four color choices were available — Competition Orange, Bright Blue Metallic, White, and Bright Yellow. As standard, the '69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator came equipped with a 351 cubic inch V8, boasting 290 horsepower, as seen in the case of this car. More powerful options were also available, as noted by Barnfinds, which included a big 390 cubic inch V8 (320 hp), a high-revving Boss 302 V8, and the gargantuan 428 Cobra Jet V8. Peek beneath the body of this Cougar and the 351ci V8 is hooked up to a desirable close-ratio four-speed manual transmission, showing a claimed 35,243 miles. Though the mileage isn't verified, the car's overall condition and wear would suggest the readings to be true. Befitting those low miles, this unrestored Cougar does carry quite the high price — a tall $32,000.
