I have a 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone. This a a Los Angeles built car (J code) with an A code engine which is the 8 cylinder 289 with the 4 speed, the Los Angeles made models are very rare. All numbers match and this is a 2dr. hard top coupe. I purchased this from the 2nd owner. As far as I know all parts are there, except it is missing the carb. There is significant rust around the rim of the roof and a few minor spots here and there. I was told by the body shop that the rust on the roof lip is fixable. I had intentions of fixing this car up, but too many projects right now and I need the room in my garage. Engine will probably need to be rebuilt. Body is straight and I am told that the interior is original, but does need work. Lots of spare parts also. The car is out of the California DMV system due to being stored for 15+ years, but I have pink. Original black plates. This is a project vehicle. Buyer must arrange all transportation, I am located in the Inland Empire near Temecula, CA. Payment due in full when vehicle is picked up.

In answer to some of the questions I have received..the engine braces are welded not bolted. I am not sure of the actual mileage as it is a double digit odometer and I am sure it has rolled over at least once. The 2nd owner that had it did use it, stated it was a very fast vehicle. He had just started to do a rebuild when we purchased the car. The valve covers are off (but we have them) and he sent out the carb for rebuild but it was never returned to him. The tires on the rear are much wider than normal (I assume race style tires). This would be a great project car and def. a head turner.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A 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.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

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.
