1970 Mercury Cyclone GT 429 4 speed for sale. Nodular rear with 31 spline axles. A low numbers Cyclone GT. 1 of 950 with this color paint, 1 of 192 with this engine/transmission, and 1 of 145 with this paint/trim.

Body is rough, it has a lot of body putty on it, and some rusty spots. The floors, trunk, and torque boxes are all rusty too. The engine and trans appear to be original, but I don't guarantee it.  Someone changed the factory Hurst shifter to a Hurst Indy shifter, and they also installed a Lakewood bell housing.

Also included with this sale, is another complete rolling Cyclone GT body.  This car was also an original 4 speed car.  This car has no rust on the outer body at all.  The only rust is two tiny holes in the floor about the size of a nickel.  There are some dents, but no rust.

This body also has a lot of new stuff on the front end.  It has a new suspension including shocks, coil springs, upper and lower control arms, and spring pads. There are new inner and outer tie rod ends, new wheel bearings, new rotors, new front brakes, all new front brake lines, new front brake hoses and a new front fuel line. There are new power steering hoses too.  The suspension has all the correct factory paint marks, including correct markings on the coil springs for a big block car.

The cars come with whatever is pictured, except bucket seats.  A set of bucket seats, which need to be re-covered, will come with the cars.  If you're not sure what may or may not be included, please ask.

Thanks.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
