1964 Comet Cyclone: Only
7,454 of these were made. Only one year of this body style was ever
built. This car's Data Plate: 63E
(2dr.Cyclone) J(Carnival Red) 05 (White interior) A28 (Jan.28 build)
22 (Dallas Texas) 1 (310 to 1) 6 (3 Speed Automatic) Car runs & drives like
new. Engine & 3 speed auto transmission were rebuilt. Exhaust is new
with stainless mufflers and tips, fabulous sound. List of things done is
endless but include: Petronics, tires, brakes & lines, radiator & shroud,
heater core, halogen headlights, belts, hoses, generator, regulator,
brake solenoid, seat belts, battery, +more. Undercarriage was so
excellent that it has been cleaned and painted. You'll be impressed
with detailing and overall integrity of the lines and body. Older paint buffed
to a beautiful luster- not perfect but is excellent and gets a ton of
compliments. Chrome in excellent condition and the front bumper may
have been re-chromed. Back bumper is very nice original. Original headliner.
Door & trunk gaskets have been replaced. Interior is excellent having been
reupholstered at some point and shows very little wear. Title and
odometer show that the car has 54k miles and it looks and feels believable,
although I would not represent a car this old as original miles. A rust free,
drive anywhere no-nonsense car that is as unique and beautiful. Carnival
Red color is really rich, and has various looks depending on
the light as you can see from the pictures. If you are looking for a car that will stand out in any meet or show, this is one to be proud of. You will, more than likely not see others in this kind of condition. The car is being sold where is, as-is with no warrantee expressed or implied. I recommend you come see it prior to bidding. The car for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction at any time prior to it hitting my reserve. Everything but the tachometer and cigarette lighter works including the AM radio.
Looks to be a non matching 289 2 BBl. It makes sense that it's
a 289 because it is very quick off the line, and on the highway.
People who have looked at the pictures say they "know" it is a 289ci,
but doubt it's the original motor as the color is wrong. I don't know
either way, and said that in the ad that it is probably a (NOM) non-matching
number. I've been told that you need to take the starter out to check the
numbers, and I'm not going to do that at this point. So assume it's not
the original motor in bidding. Original manifolds. It does not have headers. It's a great car, but if you are looking for a pure matching number Cyclone, this is more than likely not for you. Also included is a set of poverty caps.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
Junkyard Gem: 1977 Mercury Bobcat
Tue, Sep 4 2018Cultural memory of the Ford Pinto, 38 years after the last new ones were sold, boils down to one thing today: the notorious "exploding Pinto" stories of the late 1970s. Yes, many Pinto jokes were told, the resale value of Pintos crashed, and few paid any attention to the fact that most of the cars sold with the fuel tank between the rear axle and the bumper — that is, just about every Detroit car made during the era — suffered from the same weakness. The Mercury version of the Pinto was badged as the Bobcat, but nobody told Bobcat jokes. Here's a '77 Mercury Bobcat 3-Door in vivid Medium Jade paint, spotted in a Denver self-service yard. The Pinto with glass rear hatch was known as the Pinto Runabout in 1977, while Mercury called this car the " Bobcat 3-door with Glass Third Door." When a car sits for years or decades in High Plains Colorado, rodents tend to nest in it. This Bobcat's air cleaner made a cozy home for our Hantavirus-carrying friends. The 1970s were the last gasp for eye-searingly green vinyl car interiors. Since the Bobcat was a luxed-up Pinto, the door panels have shinier trim than what you'd have had in a proletariat-grade Pinto. Pinto/Bobcat transmission choices boiled down to two: a four-speed manual or a three-speed automatic. Unusually for a Malaise Era Mercury, this one has the manual. Most Pintos and Bobcats came with four-cylinder engines, ranging from the 1.6-liter pushrod Kent to the 2.3-liter engine that lived on for many post-Pinto years in Ford Rangers. This car has the 2.3, rated at 89 horsepower, but the same 2.8-liter Cologne V6 that powered the Capri was available as an option in the Bobcat. That engine made a mighty 93 horsepower. These cars were not too miserable to drive by econobox standards of their time, at least when they had three pedals. You'd blow the doors off a '77 Corolla with a 4-speed Bobcat in a drag race, though the Corolla got better fuel economy. This content is hosted by a third party.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
