1964 Mercury Comet Caliente K-Code 289 4 bl 2 door hardtop. bucket seats with console.

I received this car on a trade so I will tell you the information I was told. the car was built in Los Angeles Ca and spent half of its life on the west coast.

then was purchased and moved to Ohio where it stayed for 15 years then it was sold to the person I got the car from who said he had the car for 10 years.

the car is very original with the original k-code 289 and c4 trans and the original rear end and It does look to be all original. the car was yellow mist with

palomino bucket seat interior when built in 1964. the previous owner had the car painted red and black in 9-13 and said the interior was changed to

black in 1998.the vin numbers match on the inner fender and the door plate. the paint is not a great job and was not wet sanded so I wet sanded

the hood and the top of the fenders and it cleaned up ok. the floors have a couple of patches and the trunk is very solid. it is not a show car it starts up and

runs very good. before it can be on the road it will need brake work exhaust work and tires. has a new battery. gas tank was cleaned and sealed. it has 14''

cragers that look to be in very nice shape. everything works all lights inside and out. wipers work heater works. radio is original and does not work.

interior and carpet are very clean and need very little attention. body is in good shape with all trim intact. glass is very good no chips or cracks

all side windows work great. the steering wheel is not original and I do not have original. the underside needs some work someone in the past

has worked on the rear torque boxes and the sub frame rails. needs some more work. the front inner fender wells need some work. the pictures look

worse then it really is. the dash is not cut anywhere could use new dash pad. I will not guarantee the 289 is original since I can't check the block

numbers. it has a edelbrock carb that is to big for the motor. I was told the motor was rebuilt with a mild cam in 2013. that's all I know about the car and vin number is posted so you can look up any info you might need. bumpers are in great shape no dings or dents could use chrome.

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 investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
