I have a 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone. This a a Los Angeles built car (J code) with an A code engine which is the 8 cylinder 289 with the 4 speed, the Los Angeles made models are very rare. All numbers match and this is a 2dr. hard top coupe. I purchased this from the 2nd owner. As far as I know all parts are there, except it is missing the carb. There is significant rust around the rim of the roof and a few minor spots here and there. I was told by the body shop that the rust on the roof lip is fixable. I had intentions of fixing this car up, but too many projects right now and I need the room in my garage. Engine will probably need to be rebuilt. Body is straight and I am told that the interior is original, but does need work. Lots of spare parts also. The car is out of the California DMV system due to being stored for 15+ years, but I have pink. Original black plates. This is a project vehicle. Buyer must arrange all transportation, I am located in the Inland Empire near Temecula, CA. Payment due in full when vehicle is picked up.

In answer to some of the questions I have received..the engine braces are welded not bolted. I am not sure of the actual mileage as it is a double digit odometer and I am sure it has rolled over at least once. The 2nd owner that had it did use it, stated it was a very fast vehicle. He had just started to do a rebuild when we purchased the car. The valve covers are off (but we have them) and he sent out the carb for rebuild but it was never returned to him. The tires on the rear are much wider than normal (I assume race style tires). This would be a great project car and def. a head turner.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners 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.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
