I am selling this sweet 64 Cyclone for a friend. This was her father's car since 1982 and was last on the road in 1985, when it was parked until now. It still has the original Washington '63 plates and the last tabs from 1985. Though it has been off the road since 1985, it has been ran and moved several times throughout the years to help keep everything fresh. It has 79,056 original miles. We hooked up en external fuel tank to ensure it was still a good runner and sure enough, it fired right up. As any car of this age, you will need to go through it and tune it up prior to putting it back on the road. Some of the options include: 289 K code engine 4 Speed Manual Trans 3.25 gears in the rear Original Chrome Engine Dress Up Kit Cyclone Trim Package Original interior Original Paint Dash Tach Center Console Original hubcaps (note: they are not fully pressed on the wheels in the pictures as we took them off for safe storage after) This car truly is an original, low miles, high optioned car. It is extremely straight and virtually rust free (check out the pictures). The only body damage I could find is a small ding on the driver side rear (see pic), 2 small indents on the front quarter panel where the door hinges are from over extending. and one pinhole on the lower passenger side quarter panel. Other than those issues, I could find no rust (floors are super solid) or other body damage. Door Data Plate Info BODY 63E COLOR J TRIM 05 DATE 21D DSO 54 AXLE 4 TRANS 5 Please take a look at the pictures, read the entire description, and ask questions prior to bidding.

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.
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!
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
