Up for auction,I'm offering my 1965 Comet Caliente with 98,525 actual miles on it. I purchased this Comet in 2004 and i've only driven it 75 miles in the last 9 years. This Comet Caliente was restored back in 2002 and drives,runs and handles great. In the past 6 months i have installed a new battery and front brakes. This 1965 Comet also had new tires installed on it a few years ago and only have 75 miles on them now. This Comet really stands out and is a head turner for sure as the pictures will tell you. I had 34 old cars and i have sold them all except this one that i have saved for last. This 1965 Comet is still equipted with it's original and great running 289 V8 engine and it's smooth shifting 3 speed automatic transmission. The interior is also original and is very nice,but it does need a new headliner installed in it and i've already removed the old one,so a new one is already for you to install. This collector car would make most anyone very proud to own and a very nice driver car just the way it sits now. The body is straight and solid with only some paint imperfections from such as some knicks and chips here and there from being painted over 12 years ago and sitting outside the last few years. I have just cleaned this Comet up and it really looks very nice overall. The frame is straight and solid and the entire bottom of the car is also in good condition including all of the floor pans. Basically, this 1965 Comet Caliente just needs a new home and someone that would really enjoy owning and driving it. This oringinal classic car is nice,but it's not a new one,but will get lots of attention anywhere. Feel free to email me if you have a question. Thanks for looking.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here 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.
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.
