I have this 1968 Comet that still has less than 98,000 original miles on it. I came originally with a 200 2V inline 6 cylinder and 3 speed manual trans with column shift, radio delete, steel wheels w/poverty dish, no AC, no power steering, no power brakes. It is a real prime car for a big block clone. I had a complete paint ($6200) done, redone the interior, new headliner, new back glass seals, new hood and trunk seals, new door glass seals and felt, rebuilt the column shifter, added the 14" Magnums with new 235x60x14 tires. It still needs a padded dash replaced. I have a complete 8" rearend with 3.25 ratio gear, or a complete 9" rearend with a 3.00 ratio (your choice). Was planning on a 390/428 engine and leaving it column shift just for everyday driver. But plans have changed and money restraints have forced sale of this car. You will not be disappointed with what it has to offer. The bumpers and all the trim is original and in very good condition. They have not been replaced or re-chromed. I would say the car was 97% rust free when I bought it in 2005. I drove it for 4 years before deciding to make a big block clone out of it. I have included a picture of it before I started the work on it. Any question will be answered, and more pics will be available if needed. Just ask what you need to see and I will post or email direct what ever you need.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

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."
