Up for auction,I'm offering my 1965 Comet Caliente with 98,525 actual miles on it. I purchased this Comet in 2004 and i've only driven it 75 miles in the last 9 years. This Comet Caliente was restored back in 2002 and drives,runs and handles great. In the past 6 months i have installed a new battery and front brakes. This 1965 Comet also had new tires installed on it a few years ago and only have 75 miles on them now. This Comet really stands out and is a head turner for sure as the pictures will tell you. I had 34 old cars and i have sold them all except this one that i have saved for last. This 1965 Comet is still equipted with it's original and great running 289 V8 engine and it's smooth shifting 3 speed automatic transmission. The interior is also original and is very nice,but it does need a new headliner installed in it and i've already removed the old one,so a new one is already for you to install. This collector car would make most anyone very proud to own and a very nice driver car just the way it sits now. The body is straight and solid with only some paint imperfections from such as some knicks and chips here and there from being painted over 12 years ago and sitting outside the last few years. I have just cleaned this Comet up and it really looks very nice overall. The frame is straight and solid and the entire bottom of the car is also in good condition including all of the floor pans. Basically, this 1965 Comet Caliente just needs a new home and someone that would really enjoy owning and driving it. This oringinal classic car is nice,but it's not a new one,but will get lots of attention anywhere. Feel free to email me if you have a question. Thanks for looking.

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.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
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.
