Muscle Car Garage: We are a private collection of 60's and 70's muscle cars. We also do restorations in our two locations in the Jacksonville and Orlando area. From time to time we decide to offer one of our collector cars up for sale. Our vehicles are usually full "nut and bolt" restorations and are the quality of a regional or local show car winner. Many of our cars are previous trophy winners. We are not dealers just car enthusiasts who have been collecting cars for years and performing restorations to the level of regional show car quality. We are not a concourse restorer, and many of our cars are trailered to events but most vehicles can be driven if you choose to do so. All Around Details: Up for auction is our 1964 Mercury Comet Super Stocker Factory Issue Drag Car Tribute. This is a nice driver quality restoration on a rare 202 Comet made to look like a factory issue Drag Car from the sixties.

Exterior Details: Comet was repainted original Wimbledon White about 6 months ago. Color match steelies with new Kumho tires and bullet lug nuts give it that vintage drag car look.

Comet has the super cool blue vintage drag tint and old school racing stickers in each quater window. All chrome and stainless are original and have the correct patina. The glass on the car is all good with no cracks, chips, or hazing. All in all the Comet has that super cool simplistic factory issue look that drag cars had back in the sixties, Exterior Rating: 8 out of 10 Interior Details: The interior of the car is mostly original but in very nice shape. The headliner and carpet were replaced but the upholstery and door panels appear original but are still pretty nice. We did replace some door handles and cranks as well as the dash bezel. All of the interior of the car was gutted and repainted blue so it looks nice inside. After market Oil and Temp gauges were installed under dash. Comet has an old school dash mounted true vintage Sun Super Tach giving it that sixties drag car look. The hurst Super Comp shifter is precise and looks cool with this bench seat beauty. All interior and dash lighting works as it should inclduing indicators and even the original AM radio light!!!! The cabin fan and defrost are also operational. Interior Rating: 8 out of 10 Mechanical Details: The Comet has a Ford 302 that was rebuilt approximately 9,000 miles ago. It was rebuilt to stock specs so we estimate the horsepower at 260. It has a factory Ford 4 barrel manifold and a Holley 600 cfm carb. The ignition has been upgraded to an electronic Pertronix as well as a Fireball Ignitor. Accell wires and Super Coil round out the under hood upgrades. The valve covers are original factory Ford HiPo chrome stamped valve covers with a K&N breather. Radiator has been flushed and brakes have been upgraded to a dual master cylinder reservoir and appropriate proportioning valve. Trans is the super Tremec T5 with cable actuated clutch. Clutch, pressure plate, and throw our bearing were replaced approximately 9,000 miles ago. Comet has dual exhaust into glass packs for that vintage sound and adjustable air shocks in the rear for the look you want. Rear end is a Ford 8" with 3:08 gears. So car runs down the highway nicely in 5th gear. The entire front suspension is from a 1969 Mustang and has the larger sway bar. The steering box was sent off to get rebuilt as well 9,000 miles ago. This Comet runs and drives very well. It is super reliable and actually gets decent fuel mileage with the 5 speed. There are no surprises mechanically as I rate this as one of our most reliable cars in the collection. Mechanical Rating: 9 out of 10
In summary, this 1964 Mercury Comet Super Stocker has a very cool vintage look. It runs and drives exceptionally well and is extremely reliable. This is a fun driver quality collectable muscle car that you can have fun with as is or take it to another level by adding a straight axle and a more potent engine for that true gasser look. The car has less than 80,000 original miles on it from what we know and is mostly untouched except for the drivetrain and suspension swap outs that have been done. Interior is mostly original and exterior is as it would have been in the '60's pulling up to the drag strip. Good luck bidding. You juist don't find these and this one is very solid underneath. Call me with questions that I have not answered here at (321) 277-6718. Thanks Terms Of Sale

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
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.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The 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.
