You are bidding on a nice 1965 comet cyclone. It has been in storage for the last 10 years or so. My brother and I purchased it with plans of restoring it but have not been able to do so, therefore we have decided to sell it so someone can get the enjoyment out of it. This is a very good example of a restore while you can use it as well. The passenger front floor has been replaced. Other than that the car is very solid the frame rails are good as well as you can see in the pics. Also you can see the car was undercoated very well at a much earlier date which has very much done its job. The car has a 289 v8 not sure if it is a #s matching and the trans has been replaced with a c4 transmission the motor has shorty headers and was never adapted to reach the exhaust.The engine does run but probably needs a few things buttoned up on it such as the radiator is out of the car but we do have one that will be included in the sale. the paint on the car is really nice and would look even better with a good cleaning and a wax job. As you can see in the pics the hood and deck lid was louvered with was done prior to us purchasing it but it is a nice job. The original front seats have been replaced at some point with what you see. the tires and rims you see in the pics have been replaced with newer white wall tires on steel rims but we do still have the rims shown if buyer is interested. This comet cyclone came with the four barrel option but is not a hipo car. The original vin is still stamped in the engine compartment and all of the original engine panels in place. Overall we purchased this car because it is such a good candidate for a great finished product, just dont have the time. We have this car priced right for a quick sale, dont miss out. A non refundable deposit of $500.00 will be due within 48 hours of auctions end via paypal and the balance must be p[aid in cash or certified check within 10 days of auctions end. the car and title will be released after check has cleared. You are welcome to come inspect the car in person. I will be happy to answer any questions. Thanks for looking Good luck.

The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
