I worked at the Ford Plant in Lorain in 1965 .. I know... WHAT TYPE OF COMETS WERE BUILT...

225 HP motors did not have 271 heads....

225 were 4 Bbl...

ALSO... FYI......ALL CYCLONES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANS......HAD.......225 HP... NOT.... 271...

BECAUSE OF THAT......AUTOMATIC CYCLONES HAD 8 1/4 REAR ENDS.....

THIS CAR WAS NOT BUILT WITH "CYCLONE" TRIM.....

BUT ALL CYCLONES WERE  "Caliente bodys" with SPECIAL TRIM etc.....:)  hint hint  

all of the advertisments show RED CYCLONES WITH 271 AND 4 SPEED..... 4 spd REQUIRED   !!

FORD DID NOT ADVERTISE THE AUTOMATIC CYCLONES..

 BUT COULD BE "ORDERED" WITH AUTOMATICS AND 225 HP motors......

I KNOW...... I WORKED ON THE LINE BUILDING THEM.

If you want to "build" an automatic Cyclone..

you need a....

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:

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
