Red 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente With Fresh Race Engine on 2040-cars
San Angelo, Texas, United States
|
This 1964 Mercury Comet is in excellent shape. There is no rust to be found...the floorboards, rockers, fenders, trunk pan, and everything else is clear of rust. It is the Caliente trim package. It has new carpet and the seats have been redone, so they are not torn or dirty. The 351 small block engine was built for street racing. The engine is from a 1964 Thunderbird. It has a full roller cam, popup pistons, it was bored .030 over, with headers, a 4 barrel carb and aluminum intake. The distributor and ignition are MSD. The compression is not too radical, so it runs just great on pump gas. It has a nice mean lope. It is a C-4 automatic transmission with a B&M Megashifter. It has a 9" Ford rearend, with 3.90 gears, so it launches quick and accelerates hard thru the 1/4. Split bench seat in front with plush upholstery, front and back seats. The headliner is not torn and doesn't hang down loose. All the glass is good and everything works. It does need a trunk lock. We had to borrow the lock to put on another 1964 Comet and haven't ordered a new one. I bought the car from my Dad several years ago, and with a new baby in the family, I just don't have time to drive it, and I need the money for my growing family. It is a bright red color (fire engine red) with white inserts on the side trim. All the trim is in great shape, and all emblems are present. The engine has less than a thousand miles on it since the rebuild. I had a machine shop build the motor. The tires are in great shape, with plenty of tread, except for one of the back tires scraped against something and has some grooves on the sidewall so probably needs to be replaced before you hammer the gas and get too crazy in it. It has true dual exhaust with short glass packs, so it sounds as great as it looks. I painted the car a few years ago and it showed no signs of ever being wrecked. It drives straight and tracks straight, so I'm sure the frame is straight as an arrow. The car is compact and light, so it will get up and MOVE! I love this car and hate to sell it, but I know if you win the bidding, you will be getting an awesome car that everyone will absolutely love. Good luck and thanks for looking at my car. Sincerely, Jansen Hale

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.
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.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
