1971 Mercury Comet Base 5.0l on 2040-cars
Troy, Missouri, United States
|
I am selling my 71 Mercury Comet GT, this car has a 302 bored .60 over
and is putting out over 300 hp. It was set up to drag race and had
times of about 12.5 seconds in the quarter mile.
9" rear end, subframe connectors and traction bars are installed also. It is streetable and I have 1971 License plates on it. The car is an automatic on the floor with a line loc on it. It runs STRONG and drives good, I just don't use it and could use the cash for other things. It does need some cosmetic improvements but is a nice street car as it sits. I have an original set of front bucket seats for the car that would go with it. It has a racing bucket for the driver seat right now and another bucket on the passenger side. The carburetor was rebuilt last year. The battery is new and is mounted in the trunk. Mileage unknown and odometer and speedometer are not hooked up, fuel gauge does not work. Tachometer is inoperative, worked when I got car, but I think it shorted out when positive battery cable hit frame on a bare spot. NO power steering or brakes, and has four wheel drums on it. No heat or AC, lower dash has been removed for racing purposes to reduce weight, I do not have parts. When was the last time you saw one of these for sale. Tires are great and I have an extra set that will also be included, along with a couple of boxes of spare parts and other stuff I got with the car. Thanks for looking. |

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
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.
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.
