1964 Mercury Cyclone Base 4.7l on 2040-cars
Salinas, California, United States
|
1964 Comet Cyclone: Only
7,454 of these were made. Only one year of this body style was ever
built. This car's Data Plate: 63E
(2dr.Cyclone) J(Carnival Red) 05 (White interior) A28 (Jan.28 build)
22 (Dallas Texas) 1 (310 to 1) 6 (3 Speed Automatic) Car runs & drives like
new. Engine & 3 speed auto transmission were rebuilt. Exhaust is new
with stainless mufflers and tips, fabulous sound. List of things done is
endless but include: Petronics, tires, brakes & lines, radiator & shroud,
heater core, halogen headlights, belts, hoses, generator, regulator,
brake solenoid, seat belts, battery, +more. Undercarriage was so
excellent that it has been cleaned and painted. You'll be impressed
with detailing and overall integrity of the lines and body. Older paint buffed
to a beautiful luster- not perfect but is excellent and gets a ton of
compliments. Chrome in excellent condition and the front bumper may
have been re-chromed. Back bumper is very nice original. Original headliner.
Door & trunk gaskets have been replaced. Interior is excellent having been
reupholstered at some point and shows very little wear. Title and
odometer show that the car has 54k miles and it looks and feels believable,
although I would not represent a car this old as original miles. A rust free,
drive anywhere no-nonsense car that is as unique and beautiful. Carnival
Red color is really rich, and has various looks depending on
the light as you can see from the pictures. If you are looking for a car that will stand out in any meet or show, this is one to be proud of. You will, more than likely not see others in this kind of condition. The car is being sold where is, as-is with no warrantee expressed or implied. I recommend you come see it prior to bidding. The car for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction at any time prior to it hitting my reserve. Everything but the tachometer and cigarette lighter works including the AM radio.
Looks to be a non matching 289 2 BBl. It makes sense that it's
a 289 because it is very quick off the line, and on the highway.
People who have looked at the pictures say they "know" it is a 289ci,
but doubt it's the original motor as the color is wrong. I don't know
either way, and said that in the ad that it is probably a (NOM) non-matching
number. I've been told that you need to take the starter out to check the
numbers, and I'm not going to do that at this point. So assume it's not
the original motor in bidding. Original manifolds. It does not have headers. It's a great car, but if you are looking for a pure matching number Cyclone, this is more than likely not for you. Also included is a set of poverty caps.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
