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.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
