 First off let me say that this car is pretty much an original car the way it is and the only reason I put it as a project is because it needs minor body work, paint and interior to be really nice but it is a pretty nice driver the way it is Here we have a 1966 comet up for sale. It is mostly an original car with a few improvements made. Originally this car was a 390 bbc car but it now has a 428 service block (C6ME) with 427 tri power  low riser heads (C3AE-8090-G) witch spec out to 428 cj head specs . I mean they are identical with 70cc combustion chambers  and  the same size valves pretty much the same head just different casting numbers. Now the build on this motor is only about a year old so there is not a lot of miles on it and it shows. It is bored 30 over with 12:1 compression pistons and a solid cam with high/lift duration and comp roller rockers with shell lifters and dove  push rods. Sitting on top is a 428 police interceptor intake (C7AE-9425) with a new Edelbrock  650 carb. The ignition is a Mallory unilite mech adv distributor with new cap and wires.

Now the tran’s has been upgraded too with a manual valve body and B&M shift kit and a factory 2500 stall convertor and new rear  tranny  mount  and if you stick your foot in the carb it will snap your head back when it hits second gear. The rear end was not left out either it is a factory 3:25 28 spline posi unit that was completely rebuilt. So the whole drive line is as close to new as you can get.

The car is pretty much all original with original paint and interior. The front seats need to be redone but the back seat and door panels look good yet and the dash pad has one crack at the speaker grille besides that it is very nice but the headliner around the rear deck looks like years of moisture on the back window has taken its toll and it will need to be replaced at some point. The console is in very good condition and all interior lights work as they should. All gauges work as they should and even the radio still works. Head lights,blinkers and brake lights work as they should. Tires are new 205/75/r14 and the brakes work good but it is 4-wheel drum brakes. Nada values this car from low retail at $10,465 to high retail at $31,070 with the average price of $18,265. Now my reserve is well below the average retail price so this is your chance to get a valuable car for under book value. If you have any questions you can email me thru ebay or call me at 231-206-5258 and my name is Kirk. Thanx for looking

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion

Wed, Jun 17 2015

While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
