1965 Mercury Comet Cylone Caliente on 2040-cars
Cape Coral, Florida, United States
a neat old unusual car hard to find REAL Cyclone model. bought from an owner since the 60's and left mostly un touched, has the usual rust issues, but reserved to mostly the rear lower quarters and trunk area. other areas are minor in my opinion! I have a rear section and trunk included that go with the buyer, the trim seems to be in boxes, not sure if all there? the seats and console, and all included with sale. no radio! it has a 289 with headers and an aftermarket 4 barrel. also an excel dual point distributor and coil. I did a compression check on the motor and it was high on all cylinders, 170 lbs +. I got the motor to start and run on a electric fuel pump and gas can. no knocks or noises. it has a ratchet floor shifter that is in neutral and I can not make it move to drive, so I did not move the car under it's own power. will try again if requested. I will have tires that hold air on it for shipping. the car needs total restoration! have clear Florida title. a personal inspection from buyer before sale is accepted. I bought the car with intensions of making a pro street car but it is too complete and original for that, so I have changed my intentions! this is a great find for the purist, and color combo. was unable to down load pictures, not sure why?? email me for pictures and I will also try to post pictures in the future. have several pictures to send you if desired!

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
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.
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners 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.
